Job description

Customer Care Specialist (Automotive Parts Experience)

Direct message the job poster from The Seat Shop

Base salary starting at $48,000 annually, plus 5% performance-based monthly bonus incentive. This role is full-time, in-office in Plano, Texas.

The Seat Shop is the authority in Factory-Match Replacement Seat Covers and Foam Cushions for full-size trucks and SUVs. In simple terms: we help our clients fix their torn-up seats and enjoy their ride again.

Back in 2006, two brothers with a big dream and a little extra cash started this business out of their garage. Almost 20 years later, we’ve grown into a team of over 40, manufacturing and selling our own automotive products that look, fit, and feel just like the factory originals.

We’re heading into another exciting year of growth, and we’re looking to expand ourb>Customer Service division with a full-time, in‑house Customer Care Specialist at our Plano, Texas headquarters.

Why This Role Matters

When you join The Seat Shop crew, you’ll become a key part of a small, high‑impact team that keeps our retail and wholesale clients happy by providing a smooth buying experience. We serve:

• Individual consumers who would rather repair their seats than spend $60–70k on a new truck.
• Upholstery shops who rely on our products to save time and serve more clients.
• Online retailers who carry our products to expand their inventory.

Each group is essential to our success, and this role ensures they get the same outstanding service as the quality of the products we build.

Responsibilities

• Deliver excellent customer care via phone, email, chat, text, and social media.
• Stay sharp on product and vehicle knowledge through our in‑house training and tools.
• Proactively reach out to clients when orders need clarification, correction, or are experiencing delays to provide solutions.
• Ensure the order flow between internal systems stays accurate and complete.

Our Culture

At The Seat Shop, we value passion, humor, and yes—good hygiene. Additionally, we rely on our five key principles to guide us:

• Work hard, be honest, and take care of each other.
• Consider every client a friend and treat them accordingly.
• Be obsessed with customer service. Be someone who people look forward to doing business with.
• Offer only the highest‑quality products and services to our clients and accept nothing less from our business partners.
• Enjoy what you do! Life is too short to be miserable at work!

What We’re Looking For

• Strong verbal and written communication skills (comfortable chatting with anyone).
• A natural problem‑solver who sees things from the customer’s perspective.
• Detail‑oriented, organized, and precise (you notice what others miss).
• General familiarity with truck and SUV makes and models (not required, but helpful).
• Basic tech skills (typing, Microsoft Office/Google Drive).
• A friendly, dependable teammate (quirky is fine, creepy is not).

What Will Put You at the Top of the List

✅ Automotive parts counter experience – If you’ve worked at a dealership, auto parts store, or similar role, we want to hear from you.

Nice to Have, but not Required

✅ Bilingual English/Spanish – If you’re fluent in both languages, that's a valuable skill that could be beneficial for our customer care team.

• Competitive salary, benefits, and insurance package.
• Growth opportunities through performance‑based bonuses and raises.
• Relaxed, casual dress code (t-shirts and jeans/shorts welcome).
• Office dogs (Ranger and Maverick) who will love you unconditionally.
• Stocked breakroom with drinks and snacks.
• Legendary company parties.
• More knowledge about auto upholstery than you ever thought possible.
