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 Mercedes-Benz of Wilsonville, our commercial service operation is built around the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter -- one of the most capable and widely used commercial vans in the world. Our guests are business owners and fleet operators who depend on their vehicles to run their livelihoods. When you fix their van, you're keeping their business moving.

Completion of an automotive technician training program or equivalent hands-on experience preferred

ASE certifications a strong plus -- Mercedes-Benz factory training or Sprinter-specific certifications highly valued

Strong diagnostic proficiency -- able to work through complex, multi-system problems methodically and accurately

Excellent problem-solving and critical thinking skills -- you don't guess, you diagnose

Physically capable of performing the demands of the role -- lifting, bending, reaching, and standing for extended periods

Clear communicator who works well with service advisors, parts staff, and teammates

Valid driver's license with a clean driving record


WHAT WE OFFER

$35.00 - $50.00 per flat-rate hour -- rate based on experience, certifications, and Sprinter-specific expertise

Paid Mercedes-Benz and Sprinter manufacturer training and certification support

Progressive pay plan -- certifications and tenure drive your rate up

Medical, dental, and vision insurance

Life insurance and supplemental coverage options

Paid time off and paid holidays

State-of-the-art facility with modern diagnostic tools and technology

Career path -- strong technicians grow into shop foreman and service management roles at Swickard

Employee vehicle purchase and service discounts
