ABOUT MERCEDES-BENZ VAN CENTER OF VANCOUVER
The Mercedes-Benz Van Center of Vancouver is a brand-new, dedicated Sprinter Van Center opening in September 2026 in the heart of the Vancouver/Portland metro area. We're not just another dealership — we're a purpose-built facility focused exclusively on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans, serving businesses, commercial fleets, adventure enthusiasts, and hospitality partners across the Pacific Northwest.
You won't be inheriting someone else's culture or fitting into an existing mold — you'll be helping to build it. We believe that exceptional hospitality isn't just for guests; it starts with how we treat each other and every person who walks through our doors.
At our Van Center, hospitality is a core value — not a department. Every team member plays a role in delivering an experience that is warm, professional, and genuinely different from anything in our market.

• ASE certification(s) preferred; willingness to obtain Mercedes-Benz StarTEK certification
• Proficiency in diagnosing mechanical, electrical, and electronic vehicle systems
• Experience with diagnostic software and scan tools
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
