Turn car trouble into customer trust - and get paid like a closer

You're the first face customers see and the person they trust to tell them what their car actually needs. If you can explain a brake job in plain English, keep a busy counter moving, and close the sale without being pushy - this is your shop.

How you get to $98K

Your pay is competitive base + uncapped commission on the work you write and sell - maintenance, repairs, and tires. Our busiest writers at high-volume stores consistently earn in the top half of the range. You control the number.

What you'll do

  • Own the front counter: greet customers, write repair orders, and guide them from estimate to invoice
  • Recommend and sell maintenance, repair, and tire work - clearly, honestly, confidently
  • Translate technician findings into recommendations customers understand and approve
  • Coordinate with techs to keep the shop schedule moving and promises kept
  • Keep the front desk sharp, organized, and professional


What you bring

  • Experience in automotive service writing, parts counter, or a customer-facing sales role (strongly preferred - but we'll train the right closer)
  • Basic automotive knowledge and real interest in the industry
  • Strong communicator who can juggle phones, walk-ins, and a full schedule board
  • Comfortable with point-of-sale systems and digital inspection tools
  • Valid driver's license


The schedule, upfront

This is a 5-day, 45-50 hour week including Saturdays. It's a busy store - that's why the earning potential is what it is. If that works for you, we'd love to talk.

What you get

  • $70,000-$98,800/year (base + uncapped commission)
  • Group health insurance (BCBS) + dental + vision
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid time off + 8 paid holidays
  • Employee discounts and team outings
  • Clean, modern, high-volume store


Where this goes

We promote from within. Our store managers earn $88,000-$161,000/year, and several started right where you would - at the counter. Join one of the fastest-growing Midas groups in Michigan and we'll build your career path with you.
