Is This You?

You have real Audi experience -- you know the platform, you trust your diagnostic process, and you hold your own work to a high standard

You bring strong work ethic and quality craftsmanship to every repair order -- not because someone is watching, but because that's how you operate

You're looking for a well-run shop at a prestigious Bay Area luxury brand where your expertise is recognized and your earnings reflect it

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.

Audi Oakland serves a loyal, discerning Bay Area guest base with a service operation that holds itself to the standard of one of the world's most technically sophisticated luxury brands. The technician we're looking for brings the Audi platform knowledge, the diagnostic depth, and the professional standard to match.

Diagnose and repair Audi vehicles across a full range of systems -- engine, transmission, brakes, advanced electrical, suspension, ADAS, MMI, and beyond -- using ODIS and OEM diagnostic procedures

Execute repairs to Audi factory specifications with speed, accuracy, and zero shortcuts

Complete repair orders accurately -- documenting all work performed, diagnostic findings, and parts used with precision

Stay current on Audi technical service bulletins, software updates, and evolving repair procedures

Perform test drives to validate diagnostic conclusions and confirm repair quality before vehicle return

Communicate technical findings to service advisors clearly to support accurate guest communication and repair authorization

Maintain a clean, organized, and safe workstation that reflects the standard of the Audi brand

Contribute to a shop culture where diagnostic excellence, quality workmanship, and professionalism are the baseline

What We're Looking For

Audi dealership technician experience strongly preferred -- Volkswagen experience also a strong plus

Audi OEM certifications preferred -- Master or Master Guild status is a significant advantage and will be reflected in your rate

Strong diagnostic ability -- comfortable working through complex, multi-system Audi platform problems with process and precision

ODIS diagnostic platform experience -- required for effective Audi service work

Consistent quality workmanship and a low comeback rate -- your standard doesn't require managing

ASE certifications a strong plus

Strong work ethic and professional reliability -- you show up, you produce, and your bay reflects your standard

Valid driver's license with a clean driving record

What We Offer

$40 - $60/hr flat rate -- rate reflects your Audi experience, certification level, and diagnostic depth

Master and Master Guild status recognized in your flat rate -- bring your credentials and they will move your number

Paid Audi manufacturer training and certification support

Progressive pay plan -- certifications and tenure increase your rate over time

Medical, dental, and vision insurance

Life insurance and supplemental coverage options

Paid time off and paid holidays

State-of-the-art facility with current Audi diagnostic tools and technology

Clear career path -- strong technicians grow into senior tech, shop foreman, and service management roles at Swickard
