Job Title: Parts Manager (GM & Collision Specialist)
Company: George Nunnally Chevrolet
Location: Bentonville, Arkansas
Job Type: Full-time
About George Nunnally Chevrolet
Located in the heart of the rapidly growing Northwest Arkansas corridor, George Nunnally Chevrolet is a premier automotive destination. We are not just selling cars; we are serving a community that includes some of the largest corporations in the world. We pride ourselves on a family-oriented culture that demands corporate-level professionalism. We are looking for a leader who matches our commitment to excellence.
The Opportunity
We are seeking an experienced Parts Manager with a specialized background in Collision and Wholesale Operations.
With the population explosion in Bentonville and the surrounding NWA region, the demand for collision parts and repair support is at an all-time high. We need a strategist who can manage our GM RIM inventory to perfection while aggressively expanding our wholesale footprint with local Body Shops and Collision Centers.
Core Responsibilities
Obsolescence Control: Aggressively manage "frozen" capital. Implement strict return protocols for special-order crash parts (sheet metal, bumpers, airbags) that are not picked up.
Fill Rate: Analyze sales history to stock the right parts, reducing emergency purchases and minimizing cycle times for our Service Department and wholesale customers.
Damage Control: Implement rigorous shipping and receiving inspections for large sheet metal orders to catch freight damage before the part reaches the technician.
Vendor Relations: Manage relationships with outside vendors for parts that GM cannot supply immediately (O-to-O strategies) to keep jobs moving.
Team Development: Lead, train, and mentor parts counter staff, shipping/receiving clerks, and delivery drivers. Foster a culture of "accuracy first."
Service Support: Ensure the Service Department technicians have zero wait time at the back counter.
Qualifications
Experience: 5 years in Automotive Parts Management, with a mandatory background in a General Motors environment.
Collision Expertise: specific experience working with high-volume Body Shops. Must be able to read and interpret estimates from software such as CCC, Mitchell, or Audatex.
Technical Proficiency: Mastery of GM GlobalConnect, Snap-on EPC, and RIM. Experience with CDK is highly preferred.
Logistics Mindset: Ability to organize a warehouse for small and large-part storage (hoods, doors, frames) without compromising safety or efficiency.
Local Knowledge: Familiarity with the Northwest Arkansas automotive market is a plus, but we are open to relocating the right talent.
Why Join the Nunnally Team?
Stability: Join a dealership with a deep-rooted history in Bentonville.
Market Growth: Work in one of the fastest-growing economic regions in the United States.
Benefits:
Competitive Base Salary Performance Bonuses (Net Profit & Sales Volume)
Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance
401(k) with Company Match
Paid Vacation and Holidays
