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 Swickard Toyota of Edmonds, the Technician Services Manager is the technical backbone of the service department. This is a hands-on leadership role for an experienced technician who is ready to step up -- overseeing shop operations from the floor, providing direct technical support to the team, and owning the training and development of every technician in the building.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Manage daily shop workflow from the floor -- assigning repair orders, monitoring technician productivity, and keeping the operation running efficiently and on schedule

• Serve as the primary technical resource for the team -- supporting diagnosis on complex or unusual repairs, reviewing repair plans, and ensuring quality control before vehicles are returned to guests

• Provide hands-on technical guidance and mentorship to technicians at all skill levels -- your experience on the floor is the foundation of everything this role does

• Own technician training and development -- identifying skill gaps, coordinating Toyota manufacturer training, managing certification timelines, and building a culture of continuous improvement in the shop

• Monitor technician efficiency, comeback rates, and quality metrics -- identifying trends and implementing corrections proactively

• Ensure full compliance with Toyota technical standards, warranty repair procedures, and manufacturer requirements on every vehicle

• Partner with service management to support department goals, workflow improvements, and staffing needs

• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized shop environment that reflects the standard of the Toyota brand

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Toyota brand experience strongly preferred -- familiarity with Toyota diagnostic platforms, TSBs, and warranty procedures is a significant advantage

• Toyota Master or Expert certification preferred -- or equivalent experience and credentials

• Proven diagnostic depth -- able to support technicians on complex, multi-system problems across the Toyota lineup

• Prior shop foreman, lead technician, or supervisory experience a strong plus

• ASE certifications a strong plus

• Clear communicator and natural teacher -- you share knowledge willingly and hold the team accountable with consistency and care

• Comfortable with Toyota Techstream and dealer DMS platforms

• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record

WHAT WE OFFER

• $80,000 - $120,000/yr

• Paid Toyota manufacturer training and certification support

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance

• Life insurance and supplemental coverage options

• Paid time off and paid holidays

• Career path -- strong Technician Services Managers at Swickard grow into service management and fixed ops leadership roles
