Automotive Repair Store Manager on Deck
About The Position
Plaza Tire Service is recruiting experienced retail leaders for immediate placement as Store Managers through its Manager-On-Deck (MOD) program. This is not a trainee or entry-level role. Selected candidates complete a structured, hands-on certification experience and are prepared to take on full store management responsibilities when a suitable vacancy becomes available in their area. Compensation is $70,000 per year, plus bonus and opportunity. MOD candidates are paired with a high-performing Store Manager at a designated training store. They learn Sun Auto’s operational standards, leadership principles, and customer service expectations, and apply those skills through on-the-job practice, milestone check-ins, and self-assessments. Candidates receive coaching and development support from their assigned Store Manager and Sun University resources, complete required training modules, and demonstrate mastery of Store Manager duties before placement. Store Managers lead employees, manage sales and profitability, maintain company assets and procedures, and oversee store facilities, cleanliness, equipment, and merchandising.
