Manager
Assistant Manager
Ready to turn your customer service and sales skills into a long-term career?
We're looking for a high-energy, people-first Assistant Manager to join our auto repair team. If you love helping people, enjoy solving problems, and are great on the phone, this is your chance to step into a leadership role with serious career growth potential - no auto repair experience required.
This is more than a job - it's a launchpad into a career in the fast-paced automotive service industry. We'll teach you everything you need to know about auto repair sales and operations - what we need from you is outstanding communication skills, a sharp sales mindset, and the confidence to lead from the front.
What You'll Do
- Be the first point of contact for our customers, often over the phone - delivering a helpful, professional, and upbeat experience every time.
- Guide customers through our services and build trust by clearly explaining their options.
- Drive sales by identifying customer needs and recommending the right solutions.
- Support the Store Manager in day-to-day operations, from staff supervision to workflow coordination.
- Step in as acting manager when needed and take ownership of the customer experience.
- Help build a culture of excellence, respect, and teamwork.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience in customer service and/or sales - retail, hospitality, call center, or similar is great.
- Strong phone communication skills - you're comfortable, persuasive, and personable on the line.
- Natural ability to build rapport, listen actively, and close the sale.
- Positive energy, reliability, and a team-first attitude.
- Eagerness to learn about auto repair services and grow into a management or sales leadership role.
Why Join Us?
- Career path clarity: This is a stepping-stone toward Store Manager, Sales Director, or even Operations leadership.
- Training built in: We provide hands-on training in sales strategy, team leadership, and automotive knowledge.
- Dynamic work environment: Every day is different - and every customer is a chance to make a difference.
Bonus (but not required):
- Experience in the automotive, service, or repair industry
- Bilingual or multilingual skills
- Prior experience in managing people or shift leadership
If you're ready to grow your career in a company that invests in its people, we want to hear from you.
Compensation: $45,000.00 - $55,000.00 per year
