Job Description

Arnie Bauer Chevy GMC is seeking an organized, proactive, and experienced Parts Manager to lead our parts department during a pivotal time of growth and change.

  • Implement systems and processes to improve efficiency and customer satisfaction

  • Collaborate with other department managers to support total dealership performance

Qualifications:

  • Proven experience as a Parts Manager or Assistant Manager in a franchised dealership

  • GM parts and inventory knowledge preferred

  • Comfortable leading in a dynamic environment with plans for significant future growth

Why Join Arnie Bauer Chevy GMC?

This is a ground-floor opportunity for the right Parts Manager to take control of a department now and help shape it for the future.

Join our team today and become a key player in our next chapter.
