Job Description

At SVE Autobody Specialists, we don’t just repair vehicles—we restore them to a like-new or better condition. Specializing in premium and luxury vehicles, our reputation is built on precision, quality, and an exceptional customer experience. Every vehicle that leaves our shop reflects our standards—and that’s where you come in.

Position Overview
We are seeking a highly detail-oriented Detail Technician to join our team. This role is critical to our operation—you are the final quality checkpoint before a vehicle is returned to the customer.
From pre-wash at intake to final polish and delivery-ready presentation, you ensure every vehicle is clean, refined, and visually flawless, with no visible signs of repair. Your work directly impacts customer satisfaction, trust, and reviews.

• Ensure consistent gloss and seamless panel blending
• Eliminate visible blend lines and transitions

Surface Decontamination

• Remove overspray using proper techniques
• Ensure all surfaces are smooth, clean, and contaminant-free

Final Delivery Preparation

• Prepare vehicles to “like new” or better condition
• Apply finishing touches (tire shine, final wipe-down, finish enhancement)
• Remove all masking materials and residues

Quality Control (Final Checkpoint)

• Inspect vehicles under multiple lighting conditions
• Verify:
  • Uniform gloss and finish
  • No visible defects, blend lines, or residue
• Escalate any issues before delivery

Team & Workflow Support

• Help maintain efficient workflow and on-time delivery
• Communicate delays or issues proactively

Shop & Equipment Maintenance

• Maintain detailing tools and materials

What Success Looks Like

• Zero customer complaints related to cleanliness or finish
• No rework required (first-pass quality)
• Vehicles delivered on time with a strong “wow factor”
• Consistent contribution to high customer satisfaction scores

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in automotive detailing and polishing preferred
• Knowledge of buffers, compounds, and paint correction techniques
• Exceptional attention to detail and pride in workmanship
• Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment
• Strong work ethic, reliability, and team-first mindset

Why Join SVE Autobody?

• Work on high-end and luxury vehicles
