Pre-Detail/Car Washer

Car Washer Opportunity at Mercedes-Benz of Seattle

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
