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.

Audi Oakland serves a passionate, knowledgeable guest base in one of the Bay Area's most dynamic markets. Audi drivers care about the brand, the performance, and the experience -- and the Service Advisor who earns their trust becomes an indispensable part of why they stay. No automotive experience required; we hire for mindset and hospitality, and train the brand knowledge.

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

• Represent Audi Oakland with the professionalism, expertise, and genuine hospitality the brand and its guests expect
