Description
Ontario, CA | Toyota | Trusted brand | Flat-rate | Detail experience required | Inland Empire | Veterans encouraged to apply | $20/hr flat rate
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 Crown Toyota of Ontario, every vehicle that leaves our lot is a reflection of our standard. The Detail Technician is a critical part of delivering the guest experience we're known for - and on a flat-rate structure, the quality and consistency of your work directly determines 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, quality, and consistency directly drive your earnings
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
• Prior detailing experience required - dealership experience a strong plus, but experience from a detailing shop, car wash operation, fleet service, or similar environment is welcome
• 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 in Southern California conditions
• Reliable and punctual - vehicle readiness touches 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 supports every corner of the operation
WHAT WE OFFER
• $20/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
• 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
