Meet Our Staff

Jeff Swickard founded Swickard Auto Group in 2014 to provide world-class hospitality to customers. Recognized by Automotive News as one of the fastest-growing dealership groups of 2020, 2021, and 2022, what started as one Mercedes-Benz dealership in suburban Portland, OR, has grown to 53 franchises in Alaska, Hawaii, California, Oregon, Texas, and Washington representing many legendary brands. Jeff has led multiple dealerships to the highest honors available within their respective brands, including multiple winners of Toyota’s President’s Award, Elite of Lexus, and Mercedes-Benz Best of the Best.

In addition to his business accomplishments, Jeff is passionate about positively impacting the communities in which we operate. While Swickard Auto Group’s charitable portfolio includes causes focused on education, local arts, veterans and members of the Armed Forces, youth sports, and disease research, Jeff has a special place in his heart for dogs and local dog rescues.

Hello and welcome! As a Sales Manager, I love taking the pressure out of the car shopping process! From beginning to end, we make it fun and exciting for our customers, culminating in big smiles when they drive off the lot in vehicles they love. I’ve been in this industry for 14 years and it has always been more about making genuine connections with people rather than simply sales. I’ve taken a lot of pride in building a sales team with respect and trust both for me and each other. I believe our solid track record has resulted in repeat clientele. Originally from Western Sydney, NSW Australia, I first traveled to the U.S. with my family when I was ten on holiday. It was such an amazing vacation that I eventually moved here permanently in 2008. When it comes to sports, I root for Arsenal FC and Penrith Panthers. And I’m a big fan of The Sopranos. In my free time, I like to play guitar, write songs, box, and play soccer. To give back, I support the National Breast Cancer Foundation. When you’re ready to take that next step toward a new car, we will be here to help with a hardworking, can-do attitude.

Joining the auto industry 15 years ago has allowed me to meet incredible people, from colleagues to community members and customers. I look forward to adding you to the list! I bring honesty to every guest, ensuring they get what they need to make the best decisions and leave with a smile. I love managing our fantastic sales team, teaching them more about this evolving industry, the new vehicles we receive, and their unique features. Cooking is one of my strong suits that I enjoy taking on for family and friends. My newborn son is the best thing to happen to me; I look forward to watching him grow and build wonderful memories. If I have the time, I like to travel, with Costa Rica being my best vacation to date. Please look around the website, and don’t hesitate to reach out or stop by the dealership anytime. We will be here to make your buying process fun and successful!
