Automotive Operations Manager

Regional Automotive Operations Manager

Stop & Go Car Care – Home of Brakes For Less
Full-Time | Multi-Location Leadership | Travel Required

Stop & Go Car Care is seeking an experienced Regional Automotive Operations Manager to lead and strengthen our automotive repair locations across Louisiana, Alabama, and South Carolina.

This is a senior leadership position for someone who has already built teams, managed multiple automotive locations, and produced measurable financial and operational results. We are not looking for someone who simply visits stores and reports problems. We need a leader who takes ownership, develops managers, corrects performance issues, and creates consistent execution across state lines.

What You Will Own

• Lead the sales, operations, profitability, and culture of multiple automotive repair locations
• Recruit, train, mentor, and hold store managers accountable
• Build dependable teams capable of operating without constant intervention
• Establish clear weekly priorities and follow through until they are completed
• Monitor car count, sales, average repair order, labor productivity, closing percentage, payroll, and parts cost
• Ensure every store consistently completes thorough 27-point vehicle inspections
• Improve telephone conversion and customer follow-up
• Review estimates and ensure legitimate repair recommendations are presented clearly
• Maintain quality-control procedures, including final manager inspections before vehicles leave
• Correct underperforming locations with decisive, practical action
• Manage hiring needs, staffing changes, scheduling, workflow, inventory, parts returns, and facility standards
• Travel between locations to train teams, inspect operations, and lead performance improvements
• Communicate directly with ownership regarding results, risks, and action plans

Our Core Performance Standards

Our leaders are expected to build stores that consistently achieve:

• Strong weekly car count and revenue
• A minimum average repair order of approximately $650
• At least 3.5 labor hours sold per repair order
• Telephone conversion of 75% or higher
• Complete and accurate 27-point inspections
• Parts costs maintained within company standards
• Professional customer service and dependable repair quality
• Managers and teams who take ownership without being chased

What We’re Looking For

• At least 10 years of automotive repair industry experience preferred
• Proven multi-location or district-level management experience
• Demonstrated success improving store sales and profitability
• Strong automotive sales, operational, and people-development skills
• Ability to recruit and develop high-performing managers
• Confidence handling difficult conversations and enforcing standards
• Strong understanding of repair-shop workflow, labor production, parts control, and customer service
• Ability to read financial and performance reports and turn the numbers into action
• Excellent communication, organization, and follow-through
• Willingness and ability to travel regularly between locations
• Valid driver’s license

Who Will Succeed Here

You will succeed in this position if you are a builder, a problem-solver, and a leader who understands that accountability is part of caring about people.

You do not need to be reminded to follow up. You do not wait for ownership to solve problems that belong to you. You assess the situation, develop a plan, communicate clearly, and lead the team to the required result.

Compensation and Growth

This position offers strong performance-based earning potential, with the opportunity to earn more than $100,000 annually when performance expectations are achieved.

For the right leader, this role may also create a future path toward greater executive responsibility or franchise ownership within the Stop & Go Car Care organization.
