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
