IS THIS YOU?

• You're a natural communicator who builds trust quickly, follows through on every commitment, and takes genuine pride in how you take care of people

• You come from service advising, hospitality, sales, or a guest-facing role and you're ready to represent one of the Bay Area's premier performance luxury brands

• You're looking for a role where your people skills translate directly into a rewarding career and real earning potential


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.


Audi Oakland serves a passionate, knowledgeable guest base in one of the Bay Area's most dynamic markets. Audi drivers care about the brand, the performance, and the experience -- and the Service Advisor who earns their trust becomes an indispensable part of why they stay. No automotive experience required; we hire for mindset and hospitality, and train the brand knowledge.


WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Serve as the primary point of contact for guests throughout the service process -- from write-up to delivery

• Translate technical repair information into clear, confident communication that earns trust and sets accurate expectations

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

• Deliver a white-glove pickup and delivery experience consistent with the Audi brand standard

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

• Represent Audi Oakland with the professionalism, expertise, and genuine hospitality the brand and its guests expect


WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Service advisor experience preferred -- not required. Hospitality, sales, retail, or other guest-facing backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply

• Reynolds & Reynolds experience a significant plus -- familiarity with R&R is a real advantage in this role

• Polished, professional communicator -- Audi guests are enthusiastic and informed, and they appreciate an advisor who matches that energy

• Highly organized with strong attention to detail -- accurate estimates, realistic timelines, and disciplined follow-through are non-negotiable

• Self-motivated with a genuine drive to serve people well and grow your earnings

• Comfortable learning DMS platforms and Audi service processes -- we'll train you on the brand

• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record

• A hospitality mindset -- every guest interaction reflects the Audi standard and you take that seriously

Our best advisors have come from automotive, hospitality, luxury retail, client services, and beyond. What they share is a track record of earning trust, following through, and doing it with genuine care for the people they serve.
