Are you the person who makes sure its done right
5 Star Auto Plaza is hiring a Service Manager to own service operations across both of our St. Charlesarea locations. Weve been serving the St. Charles and St. Louis communities since 1997 and our name is on every vehicle that leaves our lot. Were looking for the kind of leader who treats that as a personal responsibility.
This is an independent pre-owned dealership not a franchised new-car store. Our shop runs on reconditioning all-makes/all-models repair and customer-pay work theres no factory warranty money to lean on. The right person knows how to get a wide range of vehicles sale-ready fast and cost-effectively and sees that as exactly the kind of challenge theyre built for.
This isnt a seat-warmer role. Youll set the standard for two shops build the systems that keep them consistent and be the expert the team and our customers rely on to get to the right answer.
What youll do
- Own reconditioning throughput and cost across both lots get all makes and models front-line-ready fast and right
- Own service quality consistency and profitability across two locations
- Build and document the processes that keep both shops running to one standard
- Lead and develop a team of technicians diagnose skill gaps and close them
- Track the numbers that matter (efficiency comebacks recon cycle time gross) and improve them with data
- Be the final quality check and the resolution point for complex escalated work
- Manage parts vendors and workflow so the operation runs clean and on time
What you bring
- Automotive service / fixed-ops management experience (required)
- Used-car or independent dealership service experience strongly preferred all-makes repair reconditioning and cost control without relying on factory warranty work
- Experience leading more than one location or a team that runs on real systems (required)
- A strong technical foundation you can evaluate the work not just assign it
- A track record of improving a metric and the ability to explain exactly how
- Organized precise self-directed and confident holding a standard
Why youll want this
Youll have real ownership of a two-store operation and the autonomy to run it your way on your standards. Youll work for a 25 year locally respected dealership that genuinely cares about doing the work right. Base pay of $75000$90000 plus performance bonus based on experience with benefits.
If you take pride in precision accountability and being the expert in the room apply today.
