Job Description

Join the Team at Stress-Free Auto Care : Where Your Skills and Passion Drive Success!

Stress Free Auto Care is redefining the auto repair experience by delivering exceptional service with honesty, transparency, and convenience. Our mission is simple : make auto care a stress-free, trustworthy experience for everyone. Join us on this exciting journey and play a pivotal role in reshaping the automotive service industry!

We're expanding fast and looking for emerging leaders who want to grow a business, lead teams, and drive results—even if they've never stepped foot in a repair shop. As a Service Manager Trainee, you'll run operations, manage people, and drive performance using data and systems—not tools. Think of it like running your own business : you'll lead a team, own the results, and continually improve how work gets done. This role is perfect for candidates who assimilate with high volume, fast paced environments that can walk into a new challenge, ask the right questions, and lead by example.

  • Predictable daytime schedule – 7 : 30 AM – 6 PM
  • $70‑80 K base + uncapped monthly commission
  • Climate‑controlled, tech‑forward shops – tablets replace ticket printers
  • 4‑week paid automotive bootcamp – we teach the cars, you bring the people skills
  • Clear ladder : Trainee → Service Advisor → Shop Manager → Multi‑Unit Leader

Perks & Benefits

  • Medical, Dental & Vision
  • 401(k) with matching plans
  • PTO + Paid Holidays
  • $1,500 annual training stipend
  • What you'll do

  • Own the guest experience from first "Welcome in!" to five‑star Google review
  • Build fast, transparent digital estimates and explain Good / Better / Best options
  • Schedule work, dispatch jobs, and keep technicians busy & on‑time
  • Track KPIs daily—labor %, parts margin, CSI—and course‑correct in real time
  • Keep the front desk shining, the coffee fresh, and the vibe upbeat
  • What you'll bring

  • 1+ year supervising 5+ teammates in restaurants, retail, or hospitality
  • Proven call‑it‑like‑you‑see‑it customer service and conflict‑resolution chops
  • Comfort juggling phones, POS screens, and face‑to‑face guests simultaneously
  • Valid driver's license & a hunger to learn the automotive side
  • Fast‑Track Training (Paid)

  • Week 1 : Automotive 101 – vehicle systems & shop safety
  • Week 2 : Service Flow – RO creation, parts sourcing, dispatch
  • Week 3 : Sales Mastery – estimate building, value‑based presentation
  • Week 4 : KPIs & Finance – labor mix, parts GP, warranty control
  • Graduate with a "Service Manager Trainee" badge and step straight into commission.

    Ready to Elevate Your Career? If you're interested in joining a supportive team that values your skills and dedication, we'd love to hear from you! Apply today to help us redefine automotive care.
