Run the shop. Build the team. Own the results.
Our General Managers run one shop like it's their own business: the customers, the team and the numbers. We have more than 35 shops in California and Texas and keep opening more, so strong GMs have a real path to running several shops.
You don't need automotive experience. We train you, and you lead technicians who know the cars.
What You'll Do
Run the shop day to day and own its monthly sales goal
Hire, train and coach your Assistant GM, Service Advisors and technicians, and make the hard calls when needed
Sell at the counter: walk customers through inspection findings and earn their approval honestly
Keep work moving so cars are ready when we promised
Watch your numbers (sales, margin, technician hours, reviews) and act on them
Handle customer concerns yourself
What We're Looking For
Experience running a business, location or department, measured on results
Your last 2 years in a salaried role, and most of your career salaried
A steady work history: 2+ years with one employer, and no more than 4 employers, in the last 6 years
2+ years of customer-facing work in the last 5 years
Comfortable with a P&L, a sales goal and a staff schedule
Valid driver's license
Tools That Work for You
Our shops run on software we build ourselves, shaped by feedback from the people who use it every day. It's there to take the busywork off your plate so you spend your time with customers and your team.
Digital inspections with photos go straight to the customer's phone, and they approve work from there
Inspection reports and approval links in English, Spanish or Chinese
Your technicians work from shop-floor tablets in English, Spanish, Vietnamese and Chinese
An AI phone and text assistant answers after hours and books appointments
A live coach on sales calls that suggests what to say next. Use it as much or as little as you like: the call is always yours
Your sales and your bonus, updated as you earn them
If you can use a smartphone, you can use our system, and we'll train you on it. If you like new tools, you'll help decide how ours get better.
