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:

At Honda of Thousand Oaks, you're joining a team that believes the car-buying experience should feel welcoming, transparent, and genuinely enjoyable -- for every guest, every time.

• Build and maintain a pipeline of guest relationships through consistent follow-up and CRM discipline
• Collaborate with finance and management to deliver a seamless, low-pressure purchase experience

• Represent the Honda brand and Swickard's hospitality standards in every conversation

What We're Looking For

You don't have to come from automotive. You do have to care about people. Our best Sales Consultants have come from hospitality, retail, real estate, fitness, education, and yes -- automotive. What they all share is a drive to serve, a hunger to grow, and the integrity to do it right.

• Previous automotive sales experience preferred -- but not required
• Proven success and experience in sales, hospitality, retail, or guest-facing service
• Natural communicator who listens well, builds trust quickly, and follows through
• Self-motivated with a competitive drive and a team-first attitude
• Comfortable with technology -- CRM tools, digital communication, and online lead follow-up
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
• A genuine hospitality mindset -- you treat every guest interaction like it matters, because it does

What We Offer

• Income potential of $50,000 - $150,000+ annually (base + commission) -- your effort drives your earnings
• Paid training program -- we'll teach you the Swickard way from day one, no automotive experience required
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Life insurance and supplemental coverage options
