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.
At Lexus of Fremont, every pre-owned vehicle we sell goes through a thorough reconditioning process before it reaches a guest.

WHAT WE OFFER<ul><li>$35.50 - $40/hr flat rate</li><li>Medical, dental, and vision insurance</li><li>Life insurance and supplemental coverage options</li><li>Paid time off and paid holidays</li><li>A focused, consistent workflow - reconditioning provides steady flat-rate hours without the unpredictability of a full service drive</li><li>Career growth within the Swickard organization - strong technicians grow into senior tech, shop foreman, and service management roles</li><li>Employee vehicle purchase and service discounts</li></ul>
WHY LEXUS OF FREMONT<ul><li>Lexus is one of the most respected luxury brands in the country - the pre-owned vehicles that come through this store reflect that standard, and the reconditioning process is how we protect it</li><li>A focused role with a clear scope - every day is safety inspections, reconditioning recommendations, and quality control. No chaos, no surprises</li><li>Fremont is a growing city in the heart of the Bay Area with a high-volume pre-owned operation and consistent reconditioning work</li><li>Swickard is one of the fastest-growing dealer groups in the country - ranked Top 5 in North America for reputation in the automotive industry</li><li>Our HEART values - Honor, Engage, Anticipate, Respond, Thank - shape how we treat our team just as much as our guests</li><li>Leadership that values the technicians whose work protects both the guest and the store's reputation</li></ul>

The Reconditioning Technician's inspection is the last line of quality control before a vehicle reaches a guest - and the standard held here directly reflects the reputation of the store. It's focused, meaningful work for a technician who takes the craft seriously.
