Parts Manager | Grubbs Family of Dealerships

About Us

Grubbs Family of Dealerships is a multi-brand, family-owned automotive group with deep roots across the DFW Metroplex and the state of Texas. We’ve built our reputation on doing right by our customers and our people — and we’re looking for team members who share those values.

We invest in our people, provide real opportunities to grow, and take pride in the experience we deliver to both our customers and our team members. When you join Grubbs, you join a culture built on integrity, professionalism, and continuous improvement. We set a high bar — and we give you the training, tools, and support to clear it.

The Opportunity

We’re seeking an experienced, driven Parts Manager to lead our parts department and grow it into a top-performing profit center. You’ll own inventory, gross, and the customer experience for both our service department and wholesale/retail customers. This is a real leadership role with autonomy and accountability — we expect you to build a sharp team, run a disciplined operation, and grow gross profit month over month.

What You’ll Do

• Lead, hire, train, schedule, and develop a high-performing parts team — counter, warehouse, and wholesale
• Own parts inventory: maintain the right mix and depth, control aging and obsolescence, and hit days-supply and turn targets
• Drive parts gross profit through smart pricing matrices, fill rates, and minimal stock-outs
• Keep the service department supplied so technicians are never waiting on parts
• Grow wholesale and retail parts business and build strong customer and vendor relationships
• Manage purchasing, stock orders, special orders, and returns to protect cash and gross
• Run regular cycle counts and an accurate annual physical inventory with minimal variance
• Monitor and act on key metrics: gross, turns, fill rate, obsolescence, and emergency purchases
• Set the standard for accuracy, urgency, and customer service across the department
• Partner with the service and sales leaders to keep fixed operations running smoothly

The Standard We Hold

We set a high bar at Grubbs. In this role, success means consistently delivering on the following:

• Grow parts gross profit month over month while controlling obsolescence
• Hit inventory turn and days-supply targets with a clean, well-managed stock
• High service fill rate — technicians are rarely waiting on parts
• Low obsolescence and aged inventory through disciplined ordering and returns
• Accurate inventory with minimal physical-count variance
• Build and retain a sharp, accountable, customer-focused parts team

What We’re Looking For

• Automotive parts management experience required
• Proven track record of growing parts gross and controlling inventory and obsolescence
• Strong knowledge of inventory management, pricing matrices, and DMS parts systems
• Excellent leadership, organization, and team-development skills
• Strong vendor, wholesale, and customer relationship skills
• Clean driving record and background

Why Grubbs?

• Leadership role with real autonomy and ownership of your department
• Strong earning potential — we reward performance, full stop
• Support from a people-first leadership team
• Family-owned, people-first culture — you’re not a number here
• Health, dental, and vision benefits
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off
• Employee vehicle purchase program
