About the Role

As an Assistant Store Manager, you will do more than just manage a store; you will lead and mentor a team while building a career and life you love. You set the pace for the store and the tone for the team. Your day begins with a huddle to assign bays and ensure a steady workflow, guaranteeing customers receive safe and timely service. You will be on the floor with your team, coaching them, stepping in where needed, and talking directly with customers to explain options clearly and get them back on the road confidently. No desk is required; your office is where the work happens.

This role is designed for those who thrive in a "People First" environment. You will work alongside trusted experts in clean stores, ensuring safety is at the core of everything we do. Whether you are a former athlete, a military team member, or a hands-on leader, your ability to maintain a calm, positive attitude under pressure will be essential. You will be part of a team that wins together, serving customers the right way and supporting the communities we serve.

Hiring Process

We value integrity and a can-do attitude. If you are ready to learn by doing with hands-on, on-the-job training and development, we invite you to apply. We look for individuals who embody our core values of caring for teammates, serving customers, and maintaining a strong work ethic.
