Pauline’s and K-Tech Automotive Hiring for Automotive Manager Job at Sebastopol, CA Full Time

Do you have drive, skill, ability, and are you ready to take on the challenge – and reward – of running two independent automotive repair businesses? Can you think on your feet and make good decisions?

We have 2 shops with systems in place for efficiency; we have the car count, solid techs, and we just need the right GM to manage both stores. Super profitable for all with the right people.

Both shops are independent shops in Sebastopol, about a mile apart. Family-type atmosphere, good clientele and reputation, over 13 years in business. Experience is definitely required: possibly dealership management experience, parts manager experience, independent shop manager experience – or maybe you’re even that rare diamond in the rough who can simply take on any management challenge and learn quickly and succeed. The biggest thing is I really want a long-term player – 5 years or more (maybe you become a partner, or buy me out….?). So we definitely want to make sure we’re happy with each other. And with the right fit, we will be.

Our current GM is moving on to a different industry involving outside sales, so we need your talent. Owner will train and guide and show you all the systems and how they have been best used, but owner will ultimately and hopefully very quickly be hands-off when it comes to day-to-day operations (including recruiting as needed) in order to focus more on the new non-profit car giveaway program she created as well as other pursuits – in other words, you’d run the staff at both shops and be responsible for both shops.

We are thinking ahead to the future, considering an ESOP, partnership, profit sharing and other such things to reward top talent. We want people to stay long term and get rewarded for it which is why we are thinking this way. We being me, the owner. (Note: I have a dry sense of humor and I’m from the East Coast.)

Pay is negotiable and a portion will be based on net profit (bottom line). Medical, dental, retirement, PTO, etc…..yes to all. ALMOST anything is negotiable for the right person.
