John’s Auto Sales is a family-owned used car dealership that has been serving the area since 1983. We are currently accepting applications for a dependable, trustworthy person to join our team and grow with our business.

This position will primarily focus on vehicle detailing and reconditioning. The majority of the work will involve cleaning, detailing, and helping get vehicles properly reconditioned and ready for sale. The position will also include lot porter duties and helping with other day-to-day tasks around the dealership as needed.

We are not in a rush to fill the position. We are taking applications and looking for the right person based on reliability, work ethic, attitude, ability to learn, and interest in the automotive business.

Previous detailing or automotive experience is helpful, but not required. We are willing to train someone who is dependable, willing to work, and wants to learn.

  • Comfortable performing different tasks as needed
  • Interested in cars or willing to learn about the automotive business
  • Physically capable of performing the duties of the position
  • Interested in becoming a long-term member of our team

You do not need to be a mechanic. This could be a great starting position for someone who enjoys cars, likes working with their hands, and would like to learn more about detailing, vehicle reconditioning, basic automotive work, and the used-car business.

For someone who works hard and proves dependable, there is an opportunity to learn additional skills, take on more responsibility, and grow with our dealership.
