Car Detailing Technician

J&W Mobile Detailing

Job Description

Job Description

Job Title:

Car Detailing Technician.

About Us:

At J&W Mobile Detailing, we take pride in making cars look brand new — inside and out. We're a fast-growing mobile detailing business in the Bay Area known for quality work, a great team, and happy repeat customers. We're looking for a motivated Car Detailing Technician to join our crew and help us keep raising the bar.


Job Description:

Turn your work into art. Get paid to make cars shine.

J&W Mobile Detailing is hiring a Car Detailing Technician to join our team. If you take pride in doing things right, love working with your hands, and want a job where you can actually see the results of your work every single day, this is for you.

No two days look the same — one minute you're bringing a daily driver back to life, the next you're making a weekend project car look showroom-ready. We'll teach you the techniques; you bring the work ethic and attention to detail.

This is full-time work with real pay, real tips, and real room to grow.


What You'll Do:

  • Wash, clay, polish, and wax vehicle exteriors to a high-quality finish.
  • Deep clean interiors — vacuuming, shampooing, leather conditioning, stain and odor removal.
  • Apply ceramic coatings, sealants, and paint protection products.
  • Inspect vehicles before and after service to make sure every detail is dialed in.
  • Keep your work area, tools, and equipment clean and organized.
  • Communicate with customers about their vehicle's needs and recommend services.
  • Work as part of a team to keep jobs moving efficiently without cutting corners.


What We're Looking For:

  • Some experience in auto detailing, car washing, or a similar hands-on role is a plus — but attitude matters more than resume.
  • A genuine interest in cars and doing quality work.
  • Reliable, on time, and ready to put in the effort.
  • Able to stand, bend, and work with your hands for extended periods.
  • Comfortable working both indoors and outdoors in a shop environment.
  • Valid driver's license preferred (you may need to move customer vehicles).
  • Team player who takes feedback well and wants to keep improving.
  • 18+ years old.

No certification required — we provide paid training and will teach you our process from day one.


Pay & Benefits:

  • Pay: Hourly base pay + tips and commission on upsells (top techs regularly out-earn the hourly rate).
  • Schedule: Full-time, consistent and flexible scheduling.
  • Paid training — learn professional detailing techniques on our dime.
  • Growth path — clear opportunities to move up to Lead Technician.
  • Fun, hands-on team environment — good people, and satisfaction at the end of every job.


Why Work With Us:

  • Get paid to work with your hands and see instant results.
  • Learn a skill that travels with you anywhere.
  • Tips add up fast — the better you get, the more you earn.


How to Apply:

Ready to join the team? Apply now with your name, contact info, and any relevant experience (don't worry if you don't have any — we'll train the right person). We're hiring immediately and looking to fill this role fast.
