PARTS COUNTER ASSOCIATE

Leo Auto Group is hiring a Parts Counter Associate to work the front line of our parts department. You'll help customers and technicians get the right parts, fast. Whether it's a walk-in customer doing their own brake job or a tech in the shop waiting on a part to finish a repair, you're the person who keeps things moving.
This role is part customer service, part inventory management, and part detective work. You'll look up parts, verify fitment, place orders, manage stock, and handle returns. If you like solving puzzles and working with your hands as much as your head, this is a good fit.
No automotive parts experience required. If you're sharp, reliable, and willing to learn the catalog systems, we'll get you there.

Nice to Have (Not Required)
