Job Description

For over two decades, MotoSport has led the powersports industry with unmatched selection, quality, and expertise. Since our founding in 1999, we’ve been driven by one mission — to make your next ride your best ride. As a premier powersports retail e-commerce company, we’re dedicated to providing riders of all types with high-quality parts, gear, and accessories from the most trusted brands. When you reach out to us, you’re not just talking to a salesperson — you’re connecting with someone who rides, wrenches, and lives the lifestyle. 

The dealership service department needs a hands-on leader who can drive profitability, maintain high customer satisfaction, and develop a team of technicians. As  Service Manager, Dealership , you will own department performance end-to-end — from setting monthly goals with each technician to managing facility maintenance, warranty processing, and interdepartmental coordination with Sales and Parts.

In your first 6–12 months, success means hitting monthly revenue and gross profit targets, reducing service cycle times, and building a coaching rhythm that keeps every technician on pace against their individual goals.

This is a lean team. You will own a lot, move fast, and make decisions with full end-to-end responsibility.
