Join the Team at Stress-Free Auto Care: Where Your Skills and Passion Drive Success!

Stress Free Auto Care is redefining the auto repair experience by delivering exceptional service with honesty, transparency, and convenience. We're a VC-backed company with a rapidly expanding footprint. Our mission is simple: make auto care a stress-free, trustworthy experience for everyone. Join us on this exciting journey and play a pivotal role in reshaping the automotive service industry!

We're expanding fast and looking for emerging leaders who want to grow a business, lead teams, and drive results—even if they've never stepped foot in a repair shop. As a Service Manager Trainee, you'll run operations, manage people, and drive performance using data and systems—not tools. Think of it like running your own business: you'll lead a team, own the results, and continually improve how work gets done. This role is perfect for candidates who assimilate with high volume, fast paced environments that can walk into a new challenge, ask the right questions, and lead by example.

  • 401(k) with matching plans
  • PTO + Paid Holidays

  • Own the guest experience from first "Welcome in!" to five‑star Google review
  • Build fast, transparent digital estimates and explain Good/Better/Best options
  • Schedule work, dispatch jobs, and keep technicians busy & on‑time
  • Track KPIs daily—labor %, parts margin, CSI—and course‑correct in real time
  • Keep the front desk shining, the coffee fresh, and the vibe upbeat
What you'll bring
  • 1+ year supervising 5+ teammates in restaurants, retail, or hospitality
  • Proven call‑it‑like‑you‑see‑it customer service and conflict‑resolution chops
  • Comfort juggling phones, POS screens, and face‑to‑face guests simultaneously
  • Valid driver's license & a hunger to learn the automotive side
Fast‑Track Training (Paid)
  1. Week 1: Automotive 101 – vehicle systems & shop safety
  2. Week 2: Service Flow – RO creation, parts sourcing, dispatch
  3. Week 3: Sales Mastery – estimate building, value‑based presentation
  4. Week 4: KPIs & Finance – labor mix, parts GP, warranty control
Graduate with a "Service Manager Trainee" badge and step straight into commission.
