This position is best suited for someone who has some automotive, detailing, body shop, or hands-on vehicle experience and wants steady work in a growing used vehicle business.
Pay
Starting wage is $22-28 per hour (experience, speed and quality), paid through payroll with required deductions.
After 3 months, the employer may introduce a production bonus based on work quality, productivity, reliability, and business needs.
Duties include, but are not limited to:
- full vehicle detailing, washing, vacuuming, interior cleaning, stain removal, shampooing, and odour removal;

- checking, topping up, draining, and replacing vehicle fluids as assigned;
- seasonal tire changes and wheel swaps;

- receiving, organizing, and handling parts, tools, supplies, and materials;
- maintaining a clean, safe, and organized work area;
- protecting vehicles from damage while cleaning, prepping, moving, or working around them;
- moving vehicles on the property and delivering vehicles to inspection or service facilities once licensed and authorized.
