Cox Automotive Inc.
Jacksonville, FL Full Time
POSTED ON 4/10/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/9/2026
The only thing you love more than a pristine automobile is being the person who made it sparkle and shine. From the first drop of soap to the last touch of paint, you are all about making a great vehicle look as good as it runs.

If you'd like to put your automotive artistry to work with a powerhouse company, Manheim may be your ticket to ride. Manheim, part of the Cox Automotive family of businesses, is the world's largest wholesale auto marketplace. We're on a quest to find car lovers with an attention to detail...literally. Our Detail Technicians are folks who have the skills to get a car or truck to look as good as new. Sound like you? Read on!

What You'll Do

You'll have a hand in every aspect of getting a vehicle looking its best. That means things like...

  • Prepping, cleaning, washing & waxing cars
  • Removing defects, and assisting with painting and minor repairs from time to time.
  • Keeping Tools and Equipment in excellent shape
  • Observing safety & health procedures
  • Completing work orders & other vehicle documentation
  • Following regulations on paint and other tools of your trade

By the way, a valid driver's license is a must - we'll need you to drive some of these bad boys from point A to point B - as is basic know-how of auto detailing, painting, and simple repair.

What's In It For You?

  • Once you're on board, earn referral bonuses. Amount varies based on job type. You'll earn at least $1K for each new eligible technician referral you provide.
  • Competitive pay with opportunities for spot bonuses (up to $4.2K per year).
  • 30 days of paid vacation and company holidays (effective year 1) for full-time employees because we know you need time to recharge. Up to 44 paid days off with more time on the job.
  • Great healthcare benefits from day 1. Multiple options are available for individuals and families. One employee only plan could be FREE, if you participate in our health screening program.
  • At Cox, we believe in being transparent - please click on this link (Cox Benefits Overview) to learn more about our awesome healthcare benefits.
  • 10 days of free child or senior care through your complimentary Care.com membership.
  • Generous 401(k) retirement plans with up to 8% company match.
  • Up to $1.5K in free tools for our new auto techs.
  • Career growth through Cox Auto University training, opportunity for GED reimbursement, free ASE training/certification and more!
  • Flexible work schedules with overtime opportunities.
  • Great coworkers who love being part of a team.
  • Employee discounts on hundreds of items, from cars to computers to continuing education.

Who You Are

First, you're a safe and capable driver with a track record to prove it. You can drive both an automatic and a manual like a boss. The physical demands required to get a vehicle looking like a million bucks are no problem for you. Doing a great job matters to you, and working with a tight-knit group to get the job done right gets you even more pumped.

Qualifications

  • Valid driver's license and safe driving record required.
  • High School Diploma/GED
  • Generally less than 2 years' experience in a related field
  • Ability to drive standard and automatic transmission vehicles.
  • While you won't need to do any Russian folk dancing, you must be able to stoop, bend, kneel, squat, and lean for extended periods.
  • Basic knowledge of auto detailing, paint application processes, and associated repair procedures.
