• Bring customer focus and high energy to our fast-paced stores.
• Welcome retail customers into our retail stores and engage to provide a positive consumer experience.

• Genuinely enjoy helping our retail and wholesale customers with their auto parts and service questions.
• Have gained your parts experience by working in the automotive industry or have gained your experience tinkering with/repairing cars & trucks through the year.

• Want to join a team where you can learn and grow your career – the opportunities are endless!

• Experience in a parts store, auction, retail store, auto body/collision.
• Knowledge of cataloging AND/OR inventory management systems, a plus.
