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.
Volvo Cars Seattle serves a loyal, values-conscious ownership community in one of the Pacific Northwest's most tech-forward and sustainability-minded markets. Volvo's rapidly expanding electrified lineup -- including fully electric and plug-in hybrid models -- demands master-level diagnostic capability and a technician who stays current with platform evolution. The Master Technician here sets the technical standard for the shop and handles the work that requires the deepest expertise in the building.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Diagnose and repair Volvo vehicles across the full scope of systems -- advanced electrical, high-voltage EV and PHEV systems, engine, transmission, chassis, ADAS, and beyond -- using VIDA diagnostic tools and Volvo OEM procedures
- Handle the shop's most complex diagnostic cases -- vehicles that require advanced troubleshooting, intermittent fault resolution, and the kind of systematic thinking that separates a master technician from the rest of the team
- Serve as a technical resource for other technicians -- supporting diagnostic questions, reviewing repair approaches, and contributing to the shop's overall technical capability
- Perform multi-point inspections and develop accurate repair plans -- communicating findings clearly to service advisors to support guest authorization
- Execute repairs to Volvo OEM specifications with precision, speed, and zero-defect quality
