In the Bigouden region, are mechanics becoming a rare pearl? The shortage of skilled labour that led to the closure of a garage in Combrit this summer is indeed a problem encountered by many garages.
A large banner in a parking lot of the Renault garage, located at Kermaria in Pont-l’Abbé, on the edge of the expressway, has been displaying a job offer for a mechanic for several months.
“We are all faced with this problem today. There are more and more cars in families and fewer and fewer mechanics. There have been a lot of retirements that have not necessarily been replaced,” notes Yvon Volant, manager of the workshop, who has been looking for the rare pearl for more than six months.
