Description

Why This Role Is Different

At Lakeshore Tire & Auto, we are not a typical repair shop.

We are building a customer-first, high-performance service business where:


  • Customers trust us completely
  • Quality comes before shortcuts
  • Our team is treated like family


If you’re looking for a place to “just write tickets,” this is not it.

If you want to own the customer experience, grow your income, and be part of something we’re building long-term, keep reading.


What You’ll Own (This Is a Leadership Role)

You are the face of the business. You control the experience.


  • Create a 5-star first impression every time a customer walks in
  • Turn customer concerns into clear, confident repair plans
  • Present estimates in a way customers trust and approve (no discounting culture)
  • Manage the schedule to maximize bay productivity
  • Be the bridge between customers and technicians
  • Keep customers informed → no surprises, no confusion
  • Drive repeat business and long-term relationships


👉 You are not an order taker — you are a trusted advisor


What We’re Looking For

We want someone who takes pride in their work and wants to win.


  • Automotive knowledge (you understand how cars work — not guessing)
  • Strong communicator — confident, clear, and professional
  • Organized and fast — you can handle a busy shop without losing control
  • Customer-first mindset — you genuinely care, not just “process people”
  • Sales confidence — you believe in what you recommend
  • High standards — average is not acceptable to you


Compensation & Growth

  • $20–$26/hr base (based on experience)
  • Paid time off
  • Training & development (we invest in our team)
  • Employee discounts


Our Culture (Important)

  • Family-oriented — we support each other
  • No chaos, no drama — we run a professional operation
  • No race-to-the-bottom pricing — we sell value, not discounts
  • We are building something bigger (multi-location growth)


Who Should NOT Apply

  • You need constant supervision
  • You are uncomfortable discussing money with customers
  • You rely on discounts to close sales
  • You want an “easy” front desk job


📌 Please do not call the shop regarding application status - we will reach out to you


Bottom Line

If you want to be part of a growing, high-standard shop where your performance directly drives your income, this is your opportunity.
