THE ROLE

At El Car Wash, detailing is where craftsmanship meets experience. As a Detailer, you take vehicles beyond clean — you deliver a polished, like-new finish that customers can see and feel.

Perfect the exterior - Streak-free windows, spotless wheels, dressed tires — the details that make the difference between good and exceptional.

Deep clean with purpose - Shampoo and scrub upholstery and carpets to deliver a fresh, like-new interior every time.

Create a great customer moment - Engage with customers at handoff, explain what was done, and ensure they drive away genuinely impressed.
