Why This Role Matters

Ready to take the next step in automotive store leadership? As an Assistant Store Manager, you'll help run daily store operations, lead the customer experience, coach teammates, and build the skills to grow into a Store Manager role. It's a great fit if you have automotive service, tire shop, Service Advisor, retail leadership, or store operations experience and want a clear path forward. You'll partner with the Store Manager to keep the shop moving, communicate clearly with customers, and support safe, consistent, and profitable store performance.

• Paid training and hands-on development
• Medical, dental, and vision benefits

What You’ll Do

• Support daily store operations as manager on duty, including opening and closing, cash handling, facility checks, and end-of-day documentation.
• Partner with the Store Manager on scheduling, teammate assignments, shop workflow, KPI execution, and coaching to store standards.
• Lead a positive customer experience by greeting customers, documenting concerns, reviewing service history, and keeping customers updated throughout the visit.
• Present auto repair, tire, and maintenance recommendations clearly and transparently based on inspections, customer needs, and manufacturer guidelines.
• Help manage parts and tire inventory, including receiving, invoicing, returns, warranty tracking, and POS accuracy.
• Follow safety procedures, escalation practices, documentation standards, and company policies while helping the team deliver high-quality work.

What We’re Looking For
