Job description
Description 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 WHY MERCEDES-BENZ OF SEATTLE
- A luxury brand environment where the standard applied to every vehicle return is genuinely high -- the work is consistent and the expectation is clear, which makes it straightforward to do well
- A well-run Seattle Mercedes-Benz store with a professional team and consistent daily volume -- steady, reliable work in an environment that takes quality seriously
- Swickard is one of the fastest-growing dealer groups in the country -- ranked Top 5 in North America for reputation in the automotive industry
- Our HEART values -- Honor, Engage, Anticipate, Respond, Thank -- apply to the care put into every vehicle just as much as every guest interaction If you do hands-on work to a consistent standard, hold yourself to it without being managed step by step, and want a steady role at a well-run Seattle luxury dealership -- apply.
