This position is ideal for someone who loves sales, leads by example, and is ready to be held accountable for results.

The Role

As an Assistant Store Manager, you will work directly alongside the Store Manager to drive sales, improve performance, and lead the team on the floor. You will be hands-on with customers, actively closing work, coaching teammates, and ensuring the shop runs efficiently and profitably.

This is not a back-office role — it’s a front-line leadership position.

• Drive daily results. Help execute strategies that improve ARO, car count, and service conversion.
• Support and coach the team. Assist in training service advisors and technicians on communication, process, and performance.
• Deliver great customer experiences. Listen, consult, follow up, and close.
• Execute inspections and recommendations. Ensure vehicle inspections are thorough and accurately presented to customers.
• Maintain standards. Support safety, cleanliness, organization, and compliance throughout the shop.
• Step up when needed. Run the store in the Store Manager’s absence.
• Track performance. Assist with daily reports, scheduling, payroll support, and KPI tracking.

Who We’re Looking For

This role is for someone who:

• Is sales-minded and competitive
• Wants to grow into a Store Manager role
• Leads by example and takes ownership
• Is coachable and receptive to feedback
• Thrives in a performance-driven environment
• Can motivate peers through action, not title

Qualifications

• 1–2 years of Service Advisor, Assistant Manager, or supervisory experience (automotive preferred)
• Strong customer-facing sales experience
• General automotive knowledge (training provided)
• Strong communication and closing skills
• Comfortable with POS systems and basic reporting
• Leadership potential and team-building mindset
• Valid driver’s license
• Ability to work a flexible retail schedule (including weekends)

Why This Role

• Clear path to Store Manager
• Hands-on leadership development
• Performance-based culture
• Training, coaching, and advancement opportunities
• Opportunity to grow with a winning team

If you’re hungry, driven, and ready to prove you can lead and sell, this role is your next step.
