IS THIS YOU?
• You're an experienced F&I Manager with a strong PVR, clean compliance record, and a menu presentation that builds trust rather than pressure
• You operate with integrity -- your deals are structured honestly, your lender relationships are solid, and your documentation is clean every time
• You have 2+ years of automotive F&I experience from any brand background and you're ready to bring that expertise to a high-volume Chevy store in Southern California
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.
Chevrolet of Thousand Oaks is a high-volume domestic brand store serving a broad and loyal Southern California guest base. The finance office here handles a wide range of buyers -- from first-time purchasers to repeat Chevy loyalists -- and the Finance Manager who earns their trust through honest, clear deal-making builds the kind of repeat business that drives real long-term earnings. Chevrolet or GM experience is a plus, but your F&I fundamentals are what matter most.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
• Present and close finance, lease, and protection products using a consultative, menu-based approach that puts the guest's needs and clarity first
• Structure deals accurately and efficiently -- balancing strong PVR with lender compliance and a guest experience that reflects Swickard's hospitality standard

• Strong knowledge of lender programs, finance and lease structures, and compliance requirements -- including California-specific regulations
• Reynolds & Reynolds or CDK experience preferred
• High integrity and zero tolerance for compliance shortcuts -- clean deals, clean files, every time
• Clear, professional communicator -- able to walk a first-time buyer and a repeat Chevy owner through the finance office with equal confidence and care
