Automotive Recon Service Manager

Earn $85,000–$100,000+ Performance-Based | Full-Time

Are you a results-driven automotive professional who knows how to turn a recon department into a high-performing operation?

We’re looking for an Automotive Recon Service Manager to lead our reconditioning operation and take ownership of quality, productivity, turnaround time, and profitability.

This is more than a management position — you’ll have the opportunity to directly impact your earnings based on your performance and the success of the department.

• $85,000–$100,000+ annual earning potential.
• Performance-based compensation.
• Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance.
• Paid Holidays.
• Vacation PTO.
• Sick PTO.
• 401 (K) with Company Match.
• Employee Discounts.

• Lead and manage the day-to-day automotive recon operation.
• Coordinate vehicle reconditioning from acquisition through completion.
• Manage technicians, vendors, and workflow.
• Monitor repair quality, costs, and turnaround times.
• Establish and maintain high standards for vehicle presentation and readiness.
• Prioritize work efficiently to meet sales and inventory deadlines.
• Track department performance and identify opportunities to improve profitability.
• Build strong relationships with service providers and internal teams.
• Hold the recon operation accountable for quality, efficiency, and results.
• Develop processes that keep vehicles moving through the recon pipeline quickly and efficiently.

The ideal candidate is:

• Experienced in automotive service, reconditioning, dealership operations, or a related field.
• A strong leader who knows how to motivate and hold a team accountable.
• Organized, detail-oriented, and highly process-driven.
• Comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Knowledgeable about automotive repair, parts, labor, and vehicle reconditioning.
• Focused on quality, speed, and profitability.
• A problem solver who takes ownership rather than making excuses.
• Comfortable working with performance metrics and financial goals.
• Valid NYS drivers license and clean driving record.

If you're tired of simply managing a department and want a position where your leadership and results directly influence your earning potential, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.

Bring your automotive experience. Bring your leadership. Bring your drive to win.

We’ll provide the opportunity to build, lead, and grow a recon operation — and reward you for the results.
