Receiving & Inventory Tracking: Use Tekmetric software to check in parts, document pricing, manage cores, and track shop inventory. Hands-On & Diagnostic Support: Step in to assist technicians with diagnostics and repairs whenever an extra set of skilled hands is needed. Customer & Sales Support: Build accurate estimates, schedule customer appointments, and perform 'show and share' walk-throughs to build customer trust and sell needed service. High-Yield Compensation & Future-Focused Benefits We believe the leaders driving our shop's productivity should directly share in our success: Top-Tier Earning Potential: $60,000 - $90,000 / year, rewarding your automotive expertise and leadership. NEW Profit-Sharing Retirement Plan: Build a substantial retirement nest egg as you help drive company profitability and operational efficiency.

A World-Class Work Environment Enjoy a facility built specifically for professionals who take pride in their craft: Climate-Controlled Comfort: Work year-round in an Air-Conditioned shop featuring Heated Floors . Elite Facilities: Enjoy clean, well-stocked, modern amenities reflecting our commitment to quality. What You Bring to the Table Automotive Experience: Deep background in automotive repair, parts management, and service advising/shop operations. Mechanical Aptitude: Strong technical skills with the ability to assist with diagnostics and monitor repair quality hands-on. Software Proficiency: Experience with shop management software (preferably Tekmetric). Leadership & Customer Skills: Strong organization, vendor negotiation, and comfortable explaining repairs transparently to customers.
