IS THIS YOU?
• You earn guest trust through clear communication, honest recommendations, and following through on every commitment -- a Mercedes-Benz owner who brings their vehicle to you leaves the visit feeling genuinely taken care of, not processed
• You have service advisor, hospitality, or strong guest-facing experience and you're ready to bring that foundation to a luxury Southern California store where the ownership community is loyal, the standard is high, and the earning potential reflects it
• You want to build a high-earning advisory career in a Conejo Valley market where MB owners return consistently, refer the people they know, and reward the advisor who treats their time and their vehicle with real respect
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.
Mercedes-Benz of Thousand Oaks serves a loyal, high-expectation ownership community in the Conejo Valley -- one of Southern California's most affluent and family-oriented markets. Mercedes-Benz owners here are brand-loyal, attentive to quality, and deeply aware of how they're treated in the service lane. The advisor who earns their trust through honest communication and consistent follow-through builds relationships that generate real and compounding income over time. Mercedes-Benz experience is a plus, but the right background from luxury hospitality or consultative sales transfers directly to this guest profile.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
• Serve as the primary point of contact for guests throughout the service process -- from write-up through vehicle return
• Translate technical repair findings on Mercedes-Benz's sophisticated platform into clear, confident guest communication that earns authorization through honest recommendations
• Build precise estimates, commit to realistic timelines, and follow through on every promise made
• Coordinate with technicians and parts to keep repair workflows moving efficiently and on schedule
• Identify and present additional service recommendations that protect guest safety and vehicle performance
• Deliver a consistent, professional Mercedes-Benz-standard guest experience that keeps Conejo Valley owners returning to this store
• Maintain accurate records in the DMS and uphold all documentation and compliance standards

• 1+ year of service advisor, hospitality, or guest-facing sales experience preferred -- candidates from luxury hospitality, high-end retail, or comparable backgrounds encouraged to apply
• Mercedes-Benz or luxury European brand service experience a strong plus -- familiarity with the platform and the ownership profile accelerates effectiveness from day one
• Clear, composed communicator -- Thousand Oaks MB guests are high-expectation and the advisor who earns their loyalty does so through preparation, consistency, and honest follow-through
• Highly organized with strong attention to detail -- accurate estimates and realistic timelines are non-negotiable at this level
• Self-motivated with a genuine drive to build a long-term book of returning luxury guests
• Comfortable with DMS platforms or quick to learn them
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
