We're seeking a detail-oriented Auto Detailing Specialist to deliver cleaning, correction, and restoration services that leave every vehicle pristine — whether it's in our bay or curbside at a customer's location — reflecting our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. This is a fast-paced role where your detailing skill and customer service both matter. No detailing experience required. If you show up on time, take pride in your work, and want to learn a trade, we will train you. Every technician starts on our standard operating procedures and works up from there.

Career growth into Lead Technician, with training in paint correction, ceramic coating, paint protection film, and vinyl wrap support. All chemicals, equipment, and personal protective equipment supplied by the company. What You Need to Bring Valid driver's license with a clean driving record — required to operate the mobile unit and move customer vehicles. Reliable transportation to and from our Hawthorne shop for every scheduled shift. Attention to detail — the willingness to check your own work, catch what others miss, and not call a car finished until it actually is. Comfort working with professional detailing chemicals daily; personal protective equipment provided and required. Ability to bend, kneel, stand for extended periods, lift up to 50 lbs, and work outdoors in varying weather. Professional, customer-facing attitude. Prior detailing, car wash, or automotive experience is a plus but not required.
