Are You Ready to Lead a Revolution in Auto Repair?

Most auto repair shops operate on outdated high-pressure tactics, corporate greed, and cold, transactional service. Not us.

At Walker Automotive, we are on a mission to redefine industry standards by putting people before profits and delivering an unforgettable 'WOW' experience to every single client who walks through our doors.

We are searching for a high-energy, integrity-driven leader who doesn't just want a job—they want to build a legacy. As our Shop Manager & Service Writer, you will be the captain of our ship, the guardian of our values, and the ultimate driving force behind our growth.

We don't cap your success. With our commission plan tied directly to your Gross Profit performance and future store bonuses linked to net profit growth, realistic earnings range from $85,000 to $150,000+ annually.

Your voice matters here. You won't be micro-managed by suit-and-tie executives who haven't stepped foot in a shop bay. You will help shape our culture, streamline our processes, and lead a passionate team in an environment built on mutual respect.

We invest heavily in your personal and professional development:

• World-Class
  
  Coaching:
  
  Full enrollment in industry-leading Shopfix & Salesfix training systems.
• 40 Hours Paid Continuing
  
  Education:
  
  Annual dedicated growth time paid by us.
• National Networking: Travel to premier industry conferences to learn and network alongside the nation's top shop owners and leaders.

We build leaders from within. This role is a direct launchpad to growing into a full Store Manager position with expanded profit-sharing bonuses.

You are the primary champion of our culture, holding the team accountable to excellence while guiding our clients with 100% transparency:

• Command Shop Operations: Direct workflow, optimize technician workloads, and lead morning setup (7:00 AM) to evening wrap-up (5:00 PM).
• Deliver the 'WOW'
  
  Experience:
  
  Build lasting client relationships through transparent, honest sales advice—ensuring every customer feels like family.
