Job description

Are you ready to take charge of a fast-moving, hands-on leadership role in one of New Jersey's largest independent auto dealerships? Automotive Avenues is seeking a sharp, organized, and results-driven full-time Used Car Reconditioning Manager to lead our high-volume recon operation and help us deliver retail-ready vehicles at lightning speed. If you're passionate about cars, thrive outdoors more than behind a desk, and want to be part of a high-performance team, this is the perfect position for you!
WHAT YOU GET: PAY & BENEFITS
Earn $80,000 - $125,000 per year, based on your experience and qualifications. At Automotive Avenues, we combine a high-paced, team-driven environment with a strong culture that values efficiency, pride in your work, and professional growth.

  • Vision
  • A 401(k)
  • Employee discount
  • Paid time off

USED CAR RECONDITIONING MANAGER: YOUR ROLE
You're not just overseeing operations-you're the force behind getting cars lot-ready. Every day, you're coordinating a steady flow of pre-owned vehicles through the reconditioning process. You dispatch cars for detail, determine what cosmetic improvements are needed (paint touch-ups, rim repairs, bodywork, and more), and ensure they're pictured and prepped for sale. You communicate with outside vendors for warranty repairs, make quick and smart decisions on cosmetic fixes, and keep vehicles moving smoothly through the pipeline. This is not a desk job-you're outside, hands-on, and fully immersed in the pulse of a busy, high-volume environment.
WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU
  • Valid driver's license
  • High school diploma or equivalency
  • 3+ years of experience within the automotive industry
  • Go-getter attitude
  • Personable and able to collaborate with lot staff
  • Being familiar with automotive reconditioning is a plus!

YOUR HOURS
Enjoy a consistent Monday through Friday schedule from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with your weekends free to recharge and enjoy life outside of work.
