About the role
We’re hiring shop managers across our 10 Midas locations in Wayne, Oakland and Washtenaw counties. This is a run-your-own-shop role at a family-run group — you’ll have real authority over your store and real support behind you.
What you’ll do
- Lead and schedule a team of technicians and service advisors
- Own your shop’s sales, gross profit and customer satisfaction numbers
- Coach and develop your team — hiring, training and performance
- Keep the shop running safely, cleanly and on time
- Resolve customer concerns and protect the shop’s reputation
What we’re looking for
- Automotive service management or assistant manager experience preferred
- Proven ability to lead a team and hit sales and service targets
- Strong sales skills — you will sell work yourself and coach your advisors to sell well
- Strong communication skills with both customers and staff
- Comfort with shop management software and reporting
- Valid driver’s license
- Strong personal sales skills — you can work the drive, present a repair plan and close it, and coach your advisors to do the same
Pay & benefits
Strong base pay plus high commission on sales and services — your effort shows up in your paycheck. Full-time team members also get health insurance options for themselves and their family, paid vacation, and a 401(k) retirement plan.
Where this goes
Managers here have room beyond a single store. With 10 shops across three counties and a group that’s still growing, strong managers move into multi-store and ownership-track roles. We’d rather grow our own leaders than look outside.
