Assistant Store Manager

Overview

We're looking for a leader not a just a manager - Who wants to work, want to produce, and want to make money.

Forged Auto Group operates five Meineke Car Care Centers, and we're building teams of people who take pride in what they do. This isn't the right shop for someone looking to stand around waiting for the day to end.

Our shops stay busy, and we expect everyone—from the front counter to the technicians in the bays—to contribute.

If you're dependable, productive, take pride in fixing cars correctly, and want to be rewarded for what you bring to the team, we'd like to talk to you.

This is NOT an entry-level management position. Do not apply if you've never managed an Automotive Shop.

What You'll Be Doing

This isn't a sit-in-the-office-and-watch-the-clock kind of job. We're looking for someone who likes being involved, leading a team, talking to customers, and keeping the shop moving.

You'll be responsible for the day-to-day operation of the store—but more importantly, you'll be responsible for building a team that performs and a shop customers want to come back to.

A typical day might include:

• Leading your team and keeping everyone moving in the same direction
• Taking care of customers and making sure they have a great experience
• Driving sales and helping your team hit their goals
• Keeping an eye on car count, ARO, close rate, gross profit and overall shop performance
• Coaching service advisors and technicians—not just pointing out what's wrong
• Hiring, training and developing good people
• Keeping parts, inventory and expenses under control
• Handling schedules, opening/closing and the normal day-to-day stuff that comes with running a shop
• Jumping in when things get busy instead of watching everyone else drown
• Solving problems before they turn into bigger problems
• Keeping the shop clean, organized, safe and professional
• Celebrating wins, fixing what's not working, and coming back tomorrow ready to do it again

We don't expect perfection. We do expect effort, accountability and a good attitude.

What You Can Expect From Us

We believe accountability goes both ways.

We'll work to provide you with the cars, equipment, training, leadership and support you need to be successful.

Forged Auto Group offers competitive compensation, performance-based earning opportunities, paid time off, health insurance, employee discounts, ongoing training and opportunities for advancement across our five locations.

We also operate our own Meineke Training Center to help technicians continue developing their skills.

Who Will Do Well Here?

Someone who finishes a job and asks, “What's next?”

Someone who takes pride in producing quality work.

Someone who wants their paycheck to grow as their skills and productivity grow.

Someone who understands that when the shop wins, the entire team wins.

If you're looking for a place where hard work is noticed, good people are valued, and there's an opportunity to grow, we should talk.

Apply today and tell us a little about what you can bring to the Forged Auto Group team.

Who We Don't Want

We know our culture isn't for everyone—and that's okay.

We're are not the right shop for you if you:

• Need to be reminded to stay productive
• Spend more time on your phone than working on cars
• Regularly show up late or call off
• Avoid difficult jobs and wait for someone else to handle them
• Blame the service advisor, management, technicians, parts, tools or everyone else when something goes wrong
• Walk past a problem because “that's not my job”
• Are satisfied doing the minimum just to get through the day
• Don't take responsibility when you make a mistake
• Bring negativity or drama into the shop
• Aren't interested in learning, improving or becoming more valuable

We're not looking for perfect people. We're looking for people who give a damn.
