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.

At Swickard Honda of Gladstone, the service drive runs on trust, communication, and a team that supports each other. The Service Drive Assistant is the connective tissue of that operation -- handling the phones, the cashier, the paperwork, and the floor coverage that keeps everything moving smoothly for guests and advisors alike.

• Process we-owe agreements -- documenting and tracking outstanding commitments to guests with accuracy and follow-through

• Cover for service advisors during lunch breaks, sick days, and peak periods -- stepping in to support guest communication and workflow continuity

• Move vehicles on and off the service drive -- staging completed vehicles for guest pickup and pulling incoming vehicles into the service lane
