WHAT YOU'LL DO

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.

At Gresham Toyota, we serve a community that trusts us with their vehicles -- and that trust is earned in the service bay. We're building a team of skilled, motivated technicians who take pride in their work and want to grow their career at a store that invests in them.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Perform diagnosis and repair on Toyota vehicles across a full range of systems -- engine, transmission, brakes, electrical, suspension, and beyond -- using Toyota diagnostic platforms and OEM procedures

• Complete repair orders accurately and efficiently -- documenting all work performed and parts used with precision

• Conduct multi-point inspections and communicate findings clearly to service advisors to support accurate guest recommendations

• Stay current on Toyota technical service bulletins, software updates, and manufacturer repair procedures

• Perform test drives to validate diagnostic conclusions and confirm repair quality before vehicle return

• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe workstation throughout every shift

• Contribute to a shop culture where quality, accountability, and craftsmanship are the baseline

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 1+ year of flat-rate technician experience in a franchised dealership -- required

• Minimum 1 ASE certification required -- additional certifications a strong plus

• Toyota brand experience strongly preferred -- technicians with Honda, Subaru, Nissan, or other import brand backgrounds are encouraged to apply

• Solid foundation in automotive diagnosis and repair -- able to work efficiently and accurately without constant supervision

• Comfortable with Toyota Techstream or equivalent diagnostic platforms -- or quick to learn them

• Low comeback rate and a personal standard for quality that doesn't require managing

• Physically capable of performing the demands of the role -- lifting, bending, and standing throughout the shift

• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record

• A craftsmanship mindset -- you take pride in every repair that leaves your bay

WHAT WE OFFER

• Income potential of $25-$45/hour flat-rate -- your speed, skill, and certifications drive your earnings

• Progressive pay plan -- ASE certifications and Toyota factory credentials increase your rate

• Paid Toyota manufacturer training and certification support

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance

• Life insurance and supplemental coverage options

• Paid time off and paid holidays
