What are the responsibilities and job description for the Automotive Detail Technician position at Silver Peak Reconditioning LLC?
Automotive Detail Technician
Silver Peak Reconditioning | Bozeman, MT
Pay: $18–$22/hour tips & performance bonuses
Silver Peak Reconditioning is growing, and we're looking for a dependable, motivated person to join our team.
This isn't just a job washing cars. We're looking for someone who can eventually take ownership of detailing appointments from start to finish — completing quality work, communicating with customers, managing their time, and representing Silver Peak professionally.
No professional detailing experience is required. We're willing to train the right person. What matters most to us is reliability, work ethic, attention to detail, and willingness to learn.
What You'll Do
- Perform interior and exterior vehicle details
- Complete maintenance details and washes
- Vacuum, clean, and protect interior surfaces
- Clean wheels, tires, glass, and exterior surfaces
- Work independently once trained
- Communicate directly and professionally with customers
- Provide customers with job updates when necessary
- Take before-and-after/completion photos
- Explain our services and answer basic customer questions
- Recommend additional services when they genuinely benefit the customer
- Introduce eligible customers to our maintenance programs
- Maintain and organize detailing equipment, chemicals, and work areas
- Follow Silver Peak's detailing processes and quality standards
- Manage your time and appointments efficiently
Work will primarily take place at our shop, with some mobile appointments as needed.
Pay & Bonuses
Base pay ranges from $18–$22/hour, depending on experience, skill level, and ability to work independently.
In addition to hourly pay, employees can earn:
- Customer tips
- Performance and production bonuses
- Bonuses for maintenance-plan signups
- Incentives for appropriate service upgrades
- Increased pay as you learn advanced services
- Additional bonuses as the company grows
Our performance incentives aren't based on high-pressure selling.
We reward quality work, efficiency, customer satisfaction, reliability, and helping grow the business.
The more responsibility you're able to take on successfully, the greater your earning potential.
Schedule
We're currently looking for part-time or full-time help, depending on availability and experience.
- Flexible scheduling
- Primarily daytime hours
- Shop and mobile work
- Increased workload during spring and summer
- Some outdoor work required
You'd Be a Great Fit If You:
- Show up on time and can be counted on
- Take pride in your work
- Pay attention to small details
- Are comfortable talking with customers
- Can eventually work independently without constant supervision
- Work efficiently without sacrificing quality
- Take feedback well
- Are willing to learn new skills
- Take responsibility for your work
- Want opportunities to earn more as your skills improve
This Probably Isn't the Right Fit If You:
- Frequently show up late or miss scheduled shifts
- Need constant supervision to stay productive
- Rush through work just to finish faster
- Avoid customer interaction
- Aren't comfortable receiving constructive feedback
- Consistently do the bare minimum
We're looking for someone we can trust with our customers and their vehicles, not simply someone who can follow a cleaning checklist.
Requirements
- Valid driver's license
- Reliable transportation to work
- Ability to stand, bend, kneel, and work on your feet for extended periods
- Comfortable working indoors and outdoors
- Comfortable using a smartphone for scheduling, photos, and customer communication
- Professional communication and appearance
- Detailing experience preferred, but not required
Paid training is provided.
Opportunities for Growth
We want the right person to grow alongside Silver Peak.
As you demonstrate quality, reliability, and independence, you'll have opportunities to train in:
- Paint correction
- Ceramic coatings
- Window tint
- Specialty detailing services
- Higher-value appointments
- Crew leadership and training
- Future management positions
Our goal is to develop technicians who can confidently manage their own appointments and eventually take on greater responsibility within the company.
How to Apply
Apply through Indeed and answer the following question:
Why do you think you'd be a good fit for a customer-facing detailing position where your pay and opportunities can increase based on your performance?
We're primarily looking for people who are dependable, motivated, professional, and willing to learn.
Experience can be taught. Work ethic and accountability are much harder to teach.
