IS THIS YOU?

• You do detail work thoroughly and to a consistent standard -- you notice what others miss, you don't cut corners on the last step, and your finished product looks the same at the end of the day as it did at the beginning

• You're ready to bring that standard to a multi-brand luxury store in Anchorage where the vehicles you detail -- Porsches, Audis, Volkswagens -- go back to guests who notice the difference

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.

Porsche Audi Volkswagen of Anchorage is a multi-brand luxury store serving one of Alaska's most active automotive markets. Every vehicle that leaves this store -- new delivery, post-service return, or pre-owned frontline unit -- is expected to be clean and presentation-ready. The Detail Technician is the last set of hands on that vehicle before the guest sees it, and at a luxury store, that standard is non-negotiable.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Perform thorough interior and exterior detail work on new, pre-owned, and service vehicles -- hand washes, clay bar treatment, paint decontamination, interior deep cleaning, leather conditioning, and surface protection as required

• Prepare new vehicle deliveries -- ensuring every vehicle is spotless, correctly staged, and presentation-ready before it reaches the guest

• Recondition pre-owned and trade-in vehicles -- bringing interiors and exteriors to frontline-ready condition efficiently and accurately

• Perform post-service vehicle cleaning -- returning service guests' vehicles clean and presentable after every visit

• Move vehicles carefully between the detail bay, service lane, and lot as directed

• Inspect vehicles during the detail process and immediately flag any paint, interior, or body concerns to the appropriate team member

• Maintain the detail bay clean, organized, and properly stocked throughout the shift

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 2+ years of automotive detailing experience preferred -- candidates with comparable experience from auto body, recon, car wash, or other hands-on vehicle preparation backgrounds are encouraged to apply

• Consistent and thorough -- luxury vehicles require a higher standard of finish and guests notice the difference between a good detail and a rushed one

• Self-directed and efficient on flat rate -- detail work rewards technicians who work at a steady, accurate pace without sacrificing quality

• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record

WHAT WE OFFER

• $20 - $22/hr flat rate -- your throughput and accuracy drive your earnings directly

• 401(k) plan

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance

• Life insurance and supplemental coverage options

• Paid time off and paid holidays

• A clear path forward -- detail technicians who perform well at Swickard grow into recon, porter, and service support roles

• Employee vehicle purchase and service discounts
