  • We have Managers and Assistant Managers with 10,15,20,30,35 years with PDQ. That speaks volumes to who we are and the opportunities we have over competitors.

What You’ll Do as an Assistant Manager

You’ll work closely with the Store Manager to ensure smooth daily operations while leading by example. Responsibilities may include:

  • Motivated, energetic people who thrive in a fast-paced, customer-focused environment

  • Prior car washing experience is a plus but don't get us confused with those big Corporate Carwash chains that only focus on $$$. Our Team is what sets up apart and we value YOU more than numbers.

Dedication and drive for success are essential—your attitude matters as much as your experience.
