IS THIS YOU?

• Your CSI scores reflect what your guests already know -- that you listen, follow through, and never leave someone wondering about their vehicle

• You're looking for a role at a premium luxury brand where the standard matches how you already operate

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.

Lexus of Thousand Oaks serves a loyal, high-expectation guest base in one of Southern California's most established luxury markets. Lexus guests have high standards for how they're treated -- and they return to the advisors who consistently meet those standards. This is a role for a service professional who has built a reputation for outstanding CSI and is ready to bring that standard to a Lexus operation.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Serve as the primary point of contact for guests throughout the service process -- from write-up to delivery -- with a standard that reflects the Lexus brand

• Communicate technical repair information clearly and confidently -- setting accurate expectations, earning authorization, and keeping guests informed at every stage

• Build precise estimates, commit to realistic timelines, and follow through on every commitment without exception

• Coordinate with technicians and parts to keep repair workflows efficient and on schedule

• Identify and present additional service recommendations that protect guest safety and vehicle performance -- clearly, honestly, and without pressure

• Deliver a white-glove pickup and delivery experience that reinforces why Lexus guests come back

• Maintain accurate, complete records in the DMS and uphold all documentation and compliance standards

• Protect and build your CSI performance -- it is the primary measure of how well this role is being done

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 2+ years of service advisor experience in a franchised dealership -- required

• Outstanding CSI performance -- this is a non-negotiable requirement, not a preference. We will ask, and your record will speak for itself

• Lexus or luxury brand experience a strong plus -- familiarity with the Lexus guest profile and service standard is an advantage

• A track record of repeat guests and guest-initiated referrals -- the mark of an advisor who genuinely earns loyalty

• Reynolds & Reynolds or CDK experience preferred

• Clear, composed communicator under volume and pressure -- accuracy and professionalism don't drop when it gets busy

• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record

• A genuine hospitality mindset -- your guests feel the difference between someone going through the motions and someone who actually cares

WHAT WE OFFER

• OTE of $60,000 - $120,000+/yr

• Paid Lexus manufacturer and product training

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance

• Life insurance and supplemental coverage options

• Paid time off and paid holidays

• Clear career path -- strong advisors grow into senior advisor and service management roles at Swickard

• Employee vehicle purchase and service discounts

• A store culture that takes CSI seriously at every level -- leadership, process, and team alignment all support your ability to deliver
