Vehicle Acquisition Specialist

Harnish Auto Family

Job Description

Job Description

Are you someone who enjoys meeting people, building relationships, and helping create win-win outcomes? We're looking for a Vehicle Acquisition Specialist to join our growing team.

This is not a sales position. Instead of selling vehicles, you'll work directly with customers who already have appointments scheduled and are interested in selling their vehicle to our dealership. Your role is to guide them through the process, evaluate opportunities, help arrive at mutually beneficial purchase terms, and ensure a smooth and professional transaction from start to finish. No automotive sales experience is required. If you're confident communicating with people, enjoy problem-solving, and thrive in a fast-paced environment, we'll provide the training.

What You'll Do

  • Meet with customers through dealership-provided appointments.
  • Build rapport and create a positive customer experience.
  • Review vehicle information and assist customers through the appraisal and acquisition process.
  • Help customers understand market value and dealership acquisition opportunities.
  • Complete required paperwork and documentation for purchased vehicles.
  • Maintain accurate records and follow-up communication.
  • Contribute to the growth of the dealership's pre-owned inventory.

What We're Looking For

  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
  • Professional, positive, and customer-focused attitude.
  • Ability to think on your feet and navigate conversations confidently.
  • Attention to detail and organizational skills.
  • Basic computer proficiency.
  • Automotive experience is helpful but not required.

Why You'll Love This Role

  • No cold calling.
  • No vehicle sales.
  • Scheduled appointments provided.
  • Competitive compensation with performance opportunities.
  • Training and development provided.
  • Opportunity to be part of a growing and innovative dealership team.

What We Offer:

  • Competitive pay with performance-based opportunities
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance + Free Life Insurance
  • Paid Time Off
  • Ongoing training and career development
  • Opportunities for advancement within a growing dealership group
  • A supportive, team-oriented work environment
  • Stability with a long-standing, family-owned company
  • Employee events and community involvement
  • The opportunity to build a long-term career in the automotive industry

Company Description: At Harnish Auto Family, we believe in more than just selling cars; we're dedicated to providing exceptional automotive experiences to our customers. As a family-owned and operated dealership, we prioritize integrity, transparency, and customer satisfaction above all else. With a rich history spanning 4 decades, our commitment to excellence has earned us a reputation as a trusted name in the automotive industry. Beyond sales and service, community engagement is at the heart of what we do. We're proud to sponsor local events, charities, and initiatives that make a positive impact in the areas we serve. Our dedication to giving back reflects our core values and strengthens the bond we share with our community.

Join us at Harnish Auto Family, where passion, integrity, and customer satisfaction drive everything we do. Together, let's embark on a journey to redefine automotive excellence and create lasting relationships with our valued customers. Apply now!

We are an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment regardless of race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state, or local laws.
