Is this you?

You have at least a year of experience in detailing, car washing, janitorial, or hospitality work -- you know what a clean, presentable space looks like and you hold yourself to that standard

You're reliable, efficient, and take genuine pride in the quality of your work -- flat-rate means your output shows up directly in your paycheck

You're ready to bring your eye for detail and your work ethic to a BMW store where the presentation standard matches the brand

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.

At BMW of Lynnwood, every vehicle that leaves our operation reflects the standard of the brand -- and the Detail Technician is the person who makes that standard visible. Whether it's a new BMW headed to a first-time owner or a service vehicle being returned to a loyal guest, the presentation has to be right every time.
