What is a Fixed Ops Director?

A Fixed Ops Director oversees the fixed operations departments of an automotive dealership, which typically include service, parts, and sometimes the body shop. Their main responsibilities are to ensure these departments run efficiently, maintain customer satisfaction, and drive profitability.

Familiarity with dealership management systems (DMS), inventory management software, and manufacturer warranty processes is crucial. Leadership, customer service orientation, and analytical thinking are standout soft skills for driving team performance and customer satisfaction. These skills and qualities ensure efficient operations, profitability, and a positive reputation for the dealership’s fixed operations department.
