General Manager

Build the business. Develop the team. Lead what’s next. About Stress Free Auto Care Stress Free Auto Care is redefining the automotive repair experience through modern technology, exceptional service, and a customer-first approach built around trust and transparency. We're growing quickly, and that growth depends on leaders who can build high-performing teams, create strong businesses, and develop the next generation of Stress Free Auto Care leadership. The Role The General Manager owns the performance of the shop across revenue, profitability, people, customer experience, and day-to-day execution. You may already lead a store, branch, department, or business today. What makes this opportunity different is the scale of what you can build next. As Stress Free Auto Care continues to grow, we're looking for proven leaders who can build successful businesses today while developing the capability to lead increasingly complex operations tomorrow. You'll be expected to understand what drives your business, identify where performance can improve, and turn company goals into clear shop-level priorities. That means growing revenue, managing expenses, developing talent, improving customer retention, and building an operation capable of delivering consistent results. Ultimately, the shop is yours to lead. When performance is strong, you understand why. When it isn't, you identify the problem, build the plan, and drive the solution. General Managers who consistently build strong businesses and develop strong leaders can progress into broader operational leadership: Your growth is driven by sustained business performance, leadership capability, talent development, and readiness to take on greater ownership. What You'll Own Business Performance Own shop revenue, profitability, and overall financial performance. Own and consistently work toward an individual revenue attainment goal in addition to the store’s overall revenue target. Develop and execute strategies to grow sales, improve retention, expand customer value, and create new revenue opportunities. Use financial and operating data to identify trends, diagnose performance gaps, and take action. Manage labor, margins, expenses, and shop resources in support of sustainable business performance. Build, lead, and retain a high-performing team with clear expectations and consistent accountability. Own hiring, onboarding, coaching, performance management, and employee development. Develop Assistant General Managers and other future leaders who are capable of taking on greater responsibility. Address underperformance quickly while recognizing and developing strong performers. Operational & Customer Excellence Own day-to-day shop execution across workflow, staffing, productivity, quality, and customer experience. Ensure the team delivers a consistent sales and service experience built around trust, transparency, urgency, and follow-through.
