Automotive Repair Store Manager on Deck
About The Position
Plaza Tire Service is recruiting experienced retail leaders for 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 assume full store management responsibilities when a suitable vacancy arises 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 operating standards, leadership principles, and customer service expectations through on-the-job practice, milestone check-ins, self-assessments, coaching, feedback, development support, and required training modules. Candidates must demonstrate mastery of Store Manager duties before placement. Store Managers lead employees and ensure compliance with company policies; manage recruiting, hiring, coaching, counseling, and performance evaluations; analyze business trends and pursue sales and profit goals; communicate financial targets and results; review invoices and reports; protect company assets; and maintain store cleanliness, merchandising, equipment, and facilities.
