Experienced Automotive Service Technician/Mechanic

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 Gresham Toyota, we serve a community that trusts us with their vehicles—and that trust is earned in the service bay.
