At Mercedes-Benz of Thousand Oaks, our guests trust us with some of the most sophisticated vehicles on the road. That trust is earned in the service bay - by technicians who take their craft seriously, hold themselves to a high standard, and take pride in every repair that leaves their bay.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
• Diagnose and repair vehicles across a full range of systems - engine, transmission, brakes, electrical, suspension, HVAC, and beyond - using Mercedes-Benz diagnostic platforms and OEM procedures
• Perform multi-point inspections and develop accurate repair plans - communicating findings clearly to service advisors to support guest authorization
• Execute repairs to manufacturer specifications with speed, accuracy, and zero shortcuts
• Complete repair orders accurately and efficiently - documenting all work performed and parts used with precision
• Stay current on Mercedes-Benz technical service bulletins, software updates, and evolving repair procedures
• Perform test drives to validate diagnostic conclusions and confirm repair quality before vehicle return
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe workstation that reflects the standard of the Mercedes-Benz brand
• Contribute to a shop culture where quality, accountability, and craftsmanship are the baseline
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
• 2+ years of dealership technician experience - luxury brand experience welcome from any premium marque including Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Lexus, Volvo, Land Rover, or similar
• Strong diagnostic foundation - able to work through multi-system problems methodically and accurately
• ASE certifications a strong plus - Mercedes-Benz factory certifications highly valued but not required
• Comfortable with dealer diagnostic platforms - XENTRY, STAR, or equivalent luxury brand diagnostic experience considered
• Low comeback rate and a personal standard for quality that doesn't require managing
• Physically capable of performing the demands of the role - lifting, bending, and standing throughout the shift
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
• A craftsmanship mindset - you take pride in every repair that leaves your bay
WHAT WE OFFER
• OTE of $50,000 - $150,000/yr - your speed, skill, and certifications drive your earnings
• Progressive pay plan - Mercedes-Benz factory certifications and tenure increase your rate over time
• Paid Mercedes-Benz manufacturer training and certification support
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Life insurance and supplemental coverage options
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• State-of-the-art facility with current Mercedes-Benz diagnostic tools and technology
• Clear career path - strong technicians grow into senior tech, shop foreman, and service management roles at Swickard
• Employee vehicle purchase and service discounts
Mercedes-Benz of Thousand Oaks offers consistent volume, a loyal guest base, and a management team that understands what it takes to keep a skilled technician engaged and earning. If you've built your technical foundation at another luxury brand, your diagnostic skills translate - and we'll invest in your Mercedes-Benz certification from there.
If you're a motivated flat-rate technician with luxury brand experience and a drive to grow - we'd like to meet you.
