Automotive retail isn't a Monday through Friday business. Our managers lead from the front, including evenings and weekends when our customers need us. Why Melloy? We're not interested in doing things simply because "that's how dealerships have always done it." We're building a dealership that embraces:

• Artificial Intelligence
• Better Processes
• Leadership Development
• Modern Marketing
• Operational Excellence
• Accountability
• Continuous Improvement

Our managers don't simply maintain the business. They're expected to improve it. Before You Apply Don't just send us another generic resume. Tell us about one thing you've built that you're proud of. Maybe it's:

• A pay plan
• A recruiting strategy
• A training program
• A KPI dashboard
• A CRM process
• A marketing campaign
• A process improvement that increased sales or profitability
