About the Role

Are you an automotive parts pro who’d rather be out building relationships in the community than stuck behind a counter all day? NAPA Auto Parts is looking for a driven, knowledgeable Outside Sales Representative to grow our commercial business in the field.

In this role, you’ll be the face of our company — connecting with shop owners and technicians, managing and growing a book of accounts, and sharing your passion for the automotive industry every single day. A company vehicle is provided so you can hit the road and make an impact from day one.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Manage and grow a portfolio of assigned commercial accounts
• Visit repair shops and automotive businesses daily to build long‑term relationships
• Prospect and develop new business accounts in your territory
• Recommend the right automotive parts, tools, and shop supplies based on customer needs
• Promote new products, programs, and specials to current and potential customers
• Identify customer needs, problems, and growth potential
• Collaborate with store managers and upper management to share market intelligence
• Attend regular sales meetings and training sessions to keep product knowledge sharp
• Travel between store locations and customer sites as needed (some overnight travel may be required depending on territory)

What You’ll Need

• 3–5 years of experience in automotive parts, aftermarket, or a related industry
• Prior sales, account management, or counter experience
• Strong communication, relationship‑building, and problem‑solving skills
• Self‑starter mentality with professional follow‑up and follow‑through
• Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record (no more than 2 moving violations in the last 3 years)
• Ability to pass a background check
• Bilingual Spanish/English is a plus at some locations

Day-to-Day Environment

This is an active, field‑based role. Expect to be on the move daily — visiting customers, working with a tablet and phone, and doing occasional light‑to‑moderate lifting. It’s a flexible 40‑hour work week with a Monday–Friday schedule.

Compensation

Base pay starts at $18.00–$25.00 per hour depending on experience, plus monthly commission. Company vehicle is provided for all business travel.

Benefits available at most locations include:

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) retirement plan with match
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• Employee discount
• Ongoing product training and development
• Company vehicle for all work-related travel
