Pre-Detail/Car Washer

Seattle, WA | Mercedes-Benz | Luxury brand | No experience required | Entry level | Pacific Northwest | Veterans encouraged to apply | $24/hr

IS THIS YOU?

• You do hands-on work thoroughly and correctly -- you don't cut corners, and you hold yourself to a consistent standard regardless of pace or volume

• You're looking for a steady entry-level role at a well-run Seattle Mercedes-Benz store where your attention to detail is a direct part of the guest experience

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 Mercedes-Benz of Seattle, every vehicle returned to a guest -- from a service visit or a new purchase -- is expected to be clean. The Car Washer is the person who makes that happen. It's consistent, hands-on work that matters more than it might sound: a guest who gets their Mercedes back spotless after a service visit remembers it. One who doesn't, also remembers it.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Wash and dry service and sales vehicles to a consistent, guest-ready standard -- exterior hand washes, window cleaning, and tire dressing on every vehicle

• Perform basic interior prep -- vacuuming, wiping down surfaces, and removing debris so the vehicle is clean inside and out before it's returned

• Stage clean vehicles in designated areas and coordinate with service advisors and sales consultants on vehicle readiness and priority

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

• Inspect vehicles during the wash process and immediately report any visible damage or concerns to the appropriate team member

• Keep the wash area clean, organized, and stocked with supplies throughout the shift

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record -- required

• Consistent and thorough -- this is detail work done at volume and the standard needs to hold across every vehicle, not just the first few of the day

• Reliable and punctual -- the service and sales operations depend on clean vehicles being ready when they're needed

• No automotive or detailing experience required -- we'll train you on our process and products

WHAT WE OFFER

• $24/hr

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance

• Life insurance and supplemental coverage options

• Paid time off and paid holidays

• A clear path forward -- car washers who demonstrate quality and reliability at Swickard grow into detailing, porter, and service support roles

• Employee vehicle purchase and service discounts
