Automotive Performance information

What is automotive performance?

Automotive performance jobs focus on enhancing, modifying, or tuning vehicles to improve speed, handling, aesthetics, or overall efficiency. Professionals in this field work on tasks like engine tuning, suspension upgrades, exhaust modifications, and installing aftermarket parts to boost a vehicle's performance. These roles can be found in specialty shops, racing teams, or manufacturing companies, and may involve both hands-on mechanical work and technical analysis. People in these jobs need a strong understanding of automotive systems, diagnostic tools, and safety standards.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in automotive performance?

To excel in Automotive Performance, you need a solid background in automotive mechanics, engine tuning, and vehicle dynamics—often supported by relevant certifications or technical training. Familiarity with diagnostic tools, dynamometers, engine management software, and performance parts is crucial for optimizing vehicle output. Attention to detail, problem-solving, and effective communication with clients set top professionals apart. These competencies ensure safe, reliable, and high-performing vehicles while meeting customer expectations in a specialized field.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals in automotive performance roles and how can they be addressed?

Professionals in automotive performance often encounter challenges such as diagnosing complex mechanical or electronic issues, keeping up with rapidly evolving vehicle technologies, and balancing customer expectations with realistic performance outcomes. Staying current with the latest diagnostic tools and software, actively participating in training sessions, and collaborating with colleagues can help address these challenges. Additionally, clear communication with clients about achievable results and safety considerations is crucial for building trust and ensuring satisfaction.

Job description

Engine Swap & Performance Parts Specialist

Do you know your way around engines or engine swaps? Do you enjoy helping people solve automotive problems?


We are looking for an Engine Swap & Performance Parts Specialist who understands performance vehicles, engine swaps, and aftermarket automotive parts. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys talking with customers, solving problems, and helping enthusiasts get the right parts for their project the first time.

Our customers range from weekend builders and DIY enthusiasts to resto-mod/restoration shops. You'll be helping them select parts, troubleshoot problems, and put together complete Coyote engine swap solutions.

WHAT YOU'LL DO


  • Advise and sell automotive performance and engine swap parts to retail, builder and wholesale customers.
  • Specialize in Ford engine swap applications, including 5.0L, 5.2L, 7.3L and related applications.
  • Help customers diagnose problems with their projects and determine what parts or solutions they need.
  • Assist customers with engine swap compatibility, installation, wiring, accessory drive, fuel, cooling, exhaust, and related systems.
  • Recommend the correct parts based on the customer's vehicle, engine, transmission, application, and intended use.
  • Help customers troubleshoot issues before and during installation.
  • Answer questions by phone, email, online, and in person.
  • Build complete parts packages for customers rather than simply selling individual components.
  • Develop long-term relationships with customers and resto-mod/restoration shops.
  • Follow up with customers to make sure their projects are progressing successfully.
  • Stay current on new products, Coyote engine technology, swap applications, and performance trends.
  • Maintain accurate product knowledge and help keep the sales area organized and professional.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR


The ideal candidate has:

  • Strong knowledge of automotive parts and performance applications.
  • Hands-on experience with engines and engine swaps. 
  • The ability to diagnose automotive problems and think through possible solutions.
  • Experience with aftermarket automotive parts, performance builds, or automotive repair.
  • Excellent communication and customer service skills.
  • The ability to explain technical information in a way customers can understand.
  • A strong attention to detail when determining part compatibility.
  • A positive, professional, and helpful attitude.
  • The ability to work independently while also being a strong team player.
  • A passion for cars, trucks, performance, and helping people build their projects.

Automotive parts sales experience is a plus, but hands-on automotive experience and strong technical knowledge are equally valuable.


THIS IS MORE THAN A PARTS SALES JOB


Our customers aren't just buying a part — they're creating something exciting and unique.

You will be the person they call when they aren't sure what they need, when something doesn't fit, or when they can't figure out why something isn't working.

If you can look at a customer's setup, ask the right questions, identify the problem, and recommend the right solution, we want to talk to you.


WHAT WE OFFER


  • Competitive pay
  • Employee discounts
  • Paid time off
  • Benefits for eligible full-time employees
  • A fast-paced automotive environment
  • The opportunity to work with performance enthusiasts and professional builders
  • An opportunity to grow your knowledge and career in the automotive performance industry

WHO SHOULD APPLY?


You don't have to be a career salesman.


If you're the person your friends call when they have an automotive problem...

If you know the difference between a part that looks like it will work and one that actually works...

If you understand engine swaps...

If you enjoy helping people solve problems...

We want to hear from you.
