Job Description

Automotive Service Manager (High-Volume Shop)

Location: Union, NJ

Compensation: $100,000 – $150,000+ (Base + Performance Bonuses)

About the Opportunity

AutoShop Recruiting is partnering with a high-performing, multi-location automotive group in the PA/NJ market seeking a proven Service Manager to take over and elevate an already busy location.

This is not a turnaround from scratch— the car count is there (80–90 vehicles/week) and the surrounding stores are producing $30K–$40K+ weekly revenue . The opportunity is to install the right leader, optimize process, and unlock the store’s full potential. With the right leadership, this location is positioned to immediately scale into a $30K–$35K/week operation and beyond .

Why This Role Stands Out

• High car count already in place – no need to “build traffic”
• Strong support system with multiple high-performing sister stores nearby
• Proven playbook and leadership infrastructure
• Clear path to multi-unit leadership or higher-level roles
• Opportunity to step into a business that can realistically grow into a $2M–$3M+ store

This is a plug-and-produce leadership role for someone who knows how to run a shop, lead people, and drive results.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Full P&L ownership of the shop
• Leading, coaching, and developing technicians and advisors
• Driving car count conversion and maximizing ARO
• Maintaining workflow efficiency and eliminating bottlenecks
• Ensuring every customer leaves safer than they arrived
• Building a strong, performance-driven culture
• Managing payroll, inventory, and shop KPIs
• Resolving customer concerns and maintaining high satisfaction
• Implementing process improvements to increase throughput and profitability

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of automotive service management experience (10+ preferred)
• Experience running a high-volume shop
• Strong leadership presence—someone who can own the business
• Customer-first mindset with a focus on safety and trust
• Ability to diagnose operational inefficiencies and fix them
• Track record of driving revenue, GP%, and team performance
• Entrepreneurial mindset—not someone who needs to be micromanaged

Compensation & Benefits

• $100,000 – $150,000+ total earning potential
• Weekly pay structure with performance-based bonuses
• 401(k) with company match
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid time off + major holidays
• Closed Sundays
• Ongoing leadership development and training
• Clear advancement opportunities within a growing organization

Culture & Environment

• Performance-driven, results-oriented team
• Strong belief in:
• “If the customer is taken care of, the team wins—and the business wins.”
• Collaborative leadership with hands-on support from upper management
• Small business feel with large-scale opportunity

Interview Process

• Initial interview with leadership
• Paid working interview (4 hours) to evaluate fit both ways
• Final discussion and offer

Bottom Line

If you’re a proven Service Manager who knows how to:

• Drive production
• Lead teams
• Maximize opportunity in a busy shop

…this is a high-upside role where your performance directly translates into income and growth.
