IS THIS YOU?

  • You have at least a year of experience in detailing, car washing, janitorial, or hospitality work -- you know what a clean, presentable space looks like and you hold yourself to that standard
  • You're reliable, efficient, and take genuine pride in the quality of your work -- flat-rate means your output shows up directly in your paycheck
  • You're ready to bring your eye for detail and your work ethic to a BMW store where the presentation standard matches the brand

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.

At BMW of Lynnwood, every vehicle that leaves our operation reflects the standard of the brand -- and the Detail Technician is the person who makes that standard visible. Whether it's a new BMW headed to a first-time owner or a service vehicle being returned to a loyal guest, the presentation has to be right every time.

What You'll Do

  • Perform thorough interior and exterior detail work on new, used, and service vehicles -- washing, vacuuming, polishing, and protecting to BMW dealership standards
  • Prepare vehicles for guest delivery -- ensuring every car is immaculate and ready to make a strong first impression
  • Apply paint protection, fabric protection, and appearance products as directed
  • Inspect vehicles for cosmetic issues during the detail process -- scratches, stains, swirl marks, and odors -- addressing or escalating appropriately
  • Operate detail equipment including pressure washers, buffers, vacuums, and steam cleaners safely and effectively
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe detail bay throughout every shift
  • Coordinate with service advisors, sales staff, and porters to prioritize vehicle readiness and meet delivery timelines
  • Work efficiently on a flat-rate structure -- your throughput, quality, and consistency directly drive your earnings

What We're Looking For

  • 1 year of experience in detailing, car washing, janitorial, or hospitality work -- required
  • A high standard for cleanliness and presentation -- you notice what others miss and you don't let a vehicle leave your hands unless it's right
  • Self-directed and productive -- flat-rate rewards speed and consistency and you bring both
  • Comfortable operating detail equipment safely and effectively
  • Physically capable of standing, bending, and working on your feet throughout the shift
  • Reliable and punctual -- vehicle readiness touches every department and the team depends on you
  • Valid driver's license with a clean driving record

What We Offer

  • $21 - $25/hr flat rate -- 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
  • Career growth -- motivated detail techs at Swickard have grown into porter, service support, parts, and advisor roles
  • Employee vehicle purchase and service discounts
  • A team-oriented environment at one of the Seattle metro's established BMW dealerships

WHY BMW OF LYNNWOOD

  • BMW is one of the world's most respected performance luxury brands -- the presentation standard here is high and the Detail Technician who upholds it takes real pride in the result
  • Lynnwood is a growing hub in the greater Seattle metro -- a consistent, active market with steady vehicle flow across new, pre-owned, and service
  • A flat-rate structure that rewards the people who work with speed, care, and consistency -- the harder and smarter you work, the more you earn
  • Swickard is one of the fastest-growing dealer groups in the country -- ranked Top 5 in North America for reputation in the automotive industry
  • Our HEART values -- Honor, Engage, Anticipate, Respond, Thank -- apply to every role on the team, including the ones that make the vehicles shine
  • A supportive team environment where your work ethic and attention to detail are recognized and valued
