Description

Description

We're looking for a hands-on Garage Manager to lead our service department — managing a team of mechanics, keeping the shop organized and moving, and delivering a smooth, professional experience for every customer who walks in. You'll be both a leader and a technician: someone who's comfortable running the floor and picking up a wrench when it's needed.


What You'll Do

  • Oversee daily Garage operations and workflow — prioritizing service, repair, assembly, and hand-off tasks so jobs keep moving
  • Lead and support the mechanic team — assigning work based on skill level and workload, and stepping in on tough repairs
  • Check customers in and out for service, repairs, tune-ups, and warranty work, with clear estimates and updates along the way
  • Diagnose and troubleshoot mechanical and basic e-bike electrical issues, and do the repair work yourself when needed
  • Handle warranty and fleet maintenance cases, coordinating with Support, Fulfillment, and Inventory as needed
  • Prepare new bikes for hand-off — assembled, inspected, charged, and ready — and walk customers through their new ride
  • Build and improve Garage processes — keep things organized, catch recurring issues, and help grow service revenue


What We're Looking For

  • Strong mechanical repair experience (bike or e-bike preferred)
  • Basic understanding of electrical systems, or a real willingness to learn
  • Experience leading or managing a team
  • Highly organized and process-oriented
  • Strong communication skills, especially with customers
  • Comfortable handling multiple tasks and priorities at once
  • Comfortable being both hands-on and managing others
  • Proficient with Mac and comfortable learning new software quickly
  • Willingness to work occasional weekends and holidays


Bonus Points For

  • Experience in a bike shop, automotive, or similar service environment
  • E-bike-specific experience
  • Familiarity with service/ticketing systems
  • Experience handling warranty processes
  • Experience with Asana, Shopify, or Slack


What We Offer

  • Competitive compensation, based on experience
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance
  • PTO
  • Employee discounts on bikes and accessories
  • A small, tight-knit team that actually listens to your ideas
  • Room to grow as MOD BIKES grows


Location

This role is based on-site at our Austin, TX shop (415 E St Elmo Rd).
