Workwear for garages, workshops and mobile technicians

Oil-tolerant workshop kit, plus something clean enough to hand a customer their keys in.

A garage has two clothing problems in one building. In the workshop the clothing meets oil, brake dust and hot components, and dark colours and a fabric that releases grease are worth more than anything else. On the counter the clothing meets the customer, and there a clean branded polo or shirt is doing the work.

Firms that treat those as one garment end up with a technician in a greasy shirt explaining an invoice. The cheaper fix is usually a second, lighter layer for the people who go front-of-house — not a whole separate uniform, just enough that the person handing over keys is presentable.

Mobile technicians are a third case again. Their clothing is seen on a customer's driveway with no building around it, which makes the logo the only branding present. It is worth getting that one right.

What this trade needs

  • Coveralls or bib-and-brace

    Full cover for engine and underbody work, and the garment that takes the damage instead of the one underneath.

  • Dark polo shirts

    The workshop everyday layer. Dark because oil shows.

  • Work trousers with tool pockets

    For technicians who move between bays rather than staying under one lift.

  • A front-of-house polo or shirt

    Kept clean for the counter. The one that the customer actually reads your name off.

  • Safety footwear with oil-resistant soles

    A workshop floor is the specific thing an oil-resistant sole is for.

The standards that apply

These are garment standards, not site rules. A standard belongs to the individual item and its certificate — so when a garment is specified for you, the certificate is what proves it, not a line on a web page.

EN ISO 20345
Safety footwear. The oil-resistance and slip markings are the relevant part in a workshop.

Settle this before you order

  • Whether you want coveralls, bib-and-brace or trousers — this is mostly a preference, and worth asking the team.
  • Who goes front-of-house, so they get a layer that stays clean.
  • Whether mobile technicians need a different spec from workshop staff.
  • Embroidery rather than print on anything washed hot and often.

You do not need all of them. Trade, head count and where the logo goes is enough to get a useful quote back.
