This is an opportunity for an ambitious
Garage Manager, Workshop Manager, Fast-Fit Centre Manager or Automotive Aftersales Manager who wants to take ownership of centre performance, develop a team and maximise sales and profitability.
This is a hands-on automotive management role, not a general retail management position. You'll be responsible for ensuring the centre operates efficiently, customers receive excellent service and the team consistently achieves its targets.

What we're looking for
We’re looking for a confident, commercially minded automotive professional who understands how to run a successful service operation and get the best out of a team.
You’ll ideally have:
Previous management experience within an
automotive garage, workshop, fast-fit centre or automotive aftersales environment
Experience managing a team and overseeing day-to-day operations
A proven track record of achieving sales targets and KPIs
Strong commercial awareness and the ability to drive revenue and profitability
Excellent customer service and complaint-handling skills
Experience recruiting, training and developing employees
Knowledge of health and safety, compliance and stock control
Strong leadership, communication and organisational skills
A proactive, hands-on approach to managing performance and maintaining standards
Previous automotive management experience is essential. Candidates from general retail or non-automotive management backgrounds will not be suitable for this position.
Which backgrounds could suit this role?
We’re particularly interested in candidates with experience in:
Automotive Service Centres | Fast-Fit Centres | Garages | Workshops | Automotive Aftersales | Tyre and Exhaust Centres | Vehicle Servicing and Repairs
You don’t necessarily need to have held the exact same job title. If you’re currently managing a garage, workshop or fast-fit operation and have the commercial and leadership skills to run a successful centre, your experience could be a great fit.
