Description

Gresham, OR | Toyota | Trusted brand | Flat-rate | 1 year experience required | $60,000 - $80,000/yr | Veterans encouraged to apply

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, the Detail Technician is a critical part of how we present our vehicles and deliver on the guest experience. Every car that leaves our lot is a reflection of our standard -- and on a flat-rate structure, your speed, consistency, and quality directly determine what you earn.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Perform thorough interior and exterior detail work on new, used, and service vehicles -- washing, vacuuming, polishing, and protecting to dealership 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 aftermarket appearance products as directed

• Inspect vehicles for cosmetic issues -- scratches, stains, and odors -- and address or escalate appropriately

• Operate detail equipment including pressure washers, buffers, vacuums, and steam cleaners safely and effectively

• Maintain an organized, clean, and safe detail bay and work area at all times

• Coordinate with service advisors, porters, and sales staff to prioritize vehicle readiness and meet delivery timelines

• Work efficiently on a flat-rate structure -- your throughput, speed, and quality directly drive your earnings

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 1+ year of detailing experience required -- dealership detail experience a strong plus

• A high personal standard for quality -- you notice what others miss and won't put your name on work that isn't right

• Self-directed and productive -- flat rate rewards speed and consistency, and you need both

• Comfortable operating detail equipment safely and effectively

• Physically capable of standing, bending, and working on your feet throughout the shift

• Reliable and punctual -- the detail bay supports every department and the whole store notices when it runs well

• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record

• A team-first mindset -- your output touches every corner of the operation

WHAT WE OFFER

• Income potential of $60,000 - $80,000/yr -- 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

• Clear career path -- motivated detail techs grow into porter, service support, parts, and advisor roles at Swickard

• Employee vehicle purchase and service discounts

• A stable, team-oriented work environment where your output is visible and your effort is valued
