About the Role

Wayside Garage is growing, and we’re adding a key support role to help keep our shop running smoothly.

We’re looking for a friendly, dependable, and service-minded person who enjoys helping others, keeping things organized, and being a positive presence for both customers and teammates.

You’ll be the kind of person who:

• Helps the day flow better.
• Keeps cars and parts moving.

• Makes customers feel cared for.

This role is ideal for someone who takes pride in being a team player and shop cheerleader.

• Receive, label, organize, and put away parts.
• Keep the parts area clean and orderly.
• Communicate missing, damaged, or incorrect parts to leadership.

Additional Responsibilities

• Perform propane fills when needed (training provided).
• Jump in where needed — teamwork is essential at Wayside.

Weekly Bonus Opportunity

When our Service Advisors earn their weekly bonus, this role is eligible to earn a bonus equal to 25% of the average Service Advisor bonus, provided role expectations are met.

You’re not selling — but when you help the shop run efficiently, you share in the success.
