IS THIS YOU?

You're an experienced flat-rate technician with solid diagnostic ability and a quality standard you hold yourself to without being managed

You have Land Rover or Jaguar experience -- or a strong luxury or European brand background and the drive to grow your JLR expertise

You're looking for a well-run Peninsula store where your skills are valued, your rate reflects your experience, and your work directly supports a loyal, passionate guest base

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.

Land Rover Redwood City serves a loyal, passionate guest base on the Peninsula -- owners who choose the brand deliberately and depend on technicians who take their vehicles as seriously as they do. Land Rover experience is preferred and JLR-certified technicians will find their credentials reflected in the rate -- but experienced technicians from other luxury or European platforms are encouraged to apply. Your diagnostic fundamentals transfer and we'll invest in your JLR certification from there.

Diagnose and repair Land Rover and Range Rover vehicles across a full range of systems -- engine, transmission, brakes, advanced electrical, suspension, ADAS, Terrain Response, air suspension, and beyond -- using JLR SDD and OEM diagnostic procedures

Perform multi-point inspections and develop accurate repair plans -- communicating findings clearly to service advisors to support guest authorization

Execute repairs to JLR factory specifications with speed, accuracy, and zero shortcuts

Complete repair orders accurately -- documenting all work performed and parts used with precision

Stay current on JLR technical service bulletins, software updates, and manufacturer repair procedures

Perform test drives to validate diagnostic conclusions and confirm repair quality before vehicle return

Land Rover or Jaguar experience preferred -- BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Volvo, or other luxury European platform backgrounds welcome

JLR SDD diagnostic platform experience preferred -- or equivalent European luxury diagnostic tool proficiency

Strong diagnostic foundation -- able to work through multi-system problems accurately and efficiently

ASE certifications a strong plus -- JLR factory certifications highly valued and reflected in rate

Low comeback rate and a quality standard that doesn't require managing

Valid driver's license with a clean driving record

WHAT WE OFFER

$30 - $55/hr flat rate -- rate reflects your experience, certification level, and diagnostic depth

Progressive pay plan -- JLR factory certifications and tenure increase your rate over time

Paid JLR manufacturer training and certification support

Medical, dental, and vision insurance
