About The Position

Cox Automotive is hiring Manheim Mobile Vehicle Condition Inspectors at Level 1, Level 2, and Senior levels for the Garland/Mesquite, Texas area. Inspectors conduct on-site vehicle condition inspections for dealer clients in an assigned territory, documenting vehicle condition accurately and promptly in accordance with Manheim inspection standards.
