IS THIS YOU?

  • You take genuine pride in your work and hold yourself to a high standard -- every vehicle that leaves your hands reflects the Mercedes-Benz name and you take that seriously
  • You work with speed and consistency and understand that flat-rate means your hustle and your quality both show up in your paycheck

WHO WE ARE

Swickard Auto Group is a hospitality company that happens to sell and service cars. We believe the best guest experiences start with the best employee experiences. That's why we've grown to 40+ rooftops across the West Coast, Alaska, and Hawaii while maintaining a culture built on one simple idea: do right by people, every time.

Mercedes-Benz of Wilsonville is Swickard's flagship Oregon location and a consistent Best of the Best Mercedes-Benz store. Every vehicle we deliver to a guest -- new, pre-owned, or returned from service -- has to meet the standard the brand demands. The Detail Technician is the person who makes that standard real.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Perform thorough interior and exterior detail work on new, pre-owned, and service vehicles -- washing, vacuuming, polishing, and protecting to Mercedes-Benz luxury standards
  • Prepare vehicles for guest delivery -- ensuring every car is clean, presentable, and ready to make a strong first impression
  • Apply paint protection, fabric protection, and appearance products accurately and consistently
  • Inspect vehicles for cosmetic issues during the detail process -- scratches, stains, and odors -- addressing or escalating appropriately
  • Operate detail equipment including pressure washers, buffers, vacuums, and steam cleaners safely and efficiently
  • Coordinate with service advisors, sales staff, and porters to prioritize vehicle readiness and meet delivery timelines
  • Work efficiently on a flat-rate structure -- your throughput, quality, and consistency directly drive your earnings

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • Prior detailing, car washing, janitorial, or cleaning experience preferred -- the right person with strong work ethic and attention to detail will be trained to our standard
  • A high personal standard for quality -- you notice what others miss and take pride in the finished result
  • Self-directed and productive -- flat-rate rewards speed and consistency and you bring both
  • Reliable and punctual -- vehicle readiness touches every department and the whole store notices when it runs well
  • Valid driver's license with a clean driving record

WHAT WE OFFER

  • $20 - $24/hr flat rate -- your efficiency and quality directly drive your earnings
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Life insurance and supplemental coverage options
  • Paid time off and paid holidays
  • Career growth -- motivated detail techs at Swickard have grown into porter, service support, parts, and advisor roles
  • Employee vehicle purchase and service discounts
