About The Position

Teph Seal Auto Appearance is hiring a flat-rate, piecework Detailer for its detail shop in Plainfield, Indiana. The role involves driving, detailing, and cleaning vehicles while helping maintain the facility and providing courteous, responsive service to customers. Detailers are expected to deliver high-quality work, address customer inquiries and complaints in a timely manner, and support additional duties assigned by management based on operational needs.
