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

• 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

• Coordinate with production team and GM on priorities
• Help maintain efficient workflow and on-time delivery
• Communicate delays or issues proactively

Shop & Equipment Maintenance

• Maintain detailing tools and materials
• Keep work area clean, organized, and safe
• Assist with basic facility upkeep (trash, light cleaning, lock-up)

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
