IS THIS YOU?

• You're an experienced service advisor with 2+ years in a dealership service environment -- you manage a high repair order workload without losing accuracy, communication quality, or your composure with guests

• You earn guest trust through honest recommendations, clear communication, and consistent follow-through -- guests leave your lane feeling informed and well cared for, not processed

• You're ready to bring your dealership experience to a high-volume Pacific Northwest Toyota store where your ability to manage volume and deliver a genuine guest experience translates directly into strong and consistent earnings

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.

Gresham Toyota serves a loyal, community-oriented Toyota ownership base in the greater Portland metro's east side. Toyota guests return at a high rate -- they're consistent, scheduled, and attentive to the quality of their service experience. The advisor who manages their workload well, communicates clearly, and follows through without fail builds a book of returning guests that drives steady, compounding earnings over time.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Manage a high-volume repair order workload with accuracy and professionalism -- writing ROs clearly, tracking progress across multiple active vehicles simultaneously, and communicating status to guests proactively

• Serve as the primary point of contact for guests throughout the service process -- from write-up through vehicle return -- ensuring every interaction reflects genuine care and honest communication

• Translate technical repair findings into clear, confident guest communication -- presenting recommendations honestly and obtaining authorization accurately

• Build precise estimates and commit to realistic timelines -- then follow through on every commitment made

• Coordinate with technicians and parts to keep repair workflows moving efficiently and on schedule

• Identify and present additional service recommendations that protect guest safety and vehicle performance

• Maintain accurate DMS records and uphold all documentation and compliance standards

• Toyota or Lexus experience a meaningful plus -- familiarity with Toyota service processes, TMS programs, and the brand's high-retention ownership base is an advantage from day one

• Proven ability to manage a high repair order workload with accuracy and composure -- volume is real here and the advisor who thrives in it earns accordingly

• Strong customer service instincts -- you communicate clearly, follow through without gaps, and earn guest trust through consistency rather than personality alone

• Organized and detail-oriented -- accurate estimates, complete documentation, and on-time delivery are non-negotiable

• Comfortable with DMS platforms -- Reynolds & Reynolds or CDK experience preferred

• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record

• OTE of $40,000 - $120,000+/yr

• Paid Toyota manufacturer and product training

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
