Kailua, United States Ken Garff Full time

Considering a career with Ken Garff Automotive Group means you are in for a great ride (excuse the car metaphor) We're not your standard dealership or group of dealerships and we are pretty darn proud of that. We are out to do things differently and want to consistently change, grow, and progress. For that reason, our employees are proud of where they work

Aloha Kia Kona, a Ken Garff Automotive Dealership, is currently looking for a talented Automotive Service Manager that aligns with our core values and acts with respect, intelligence, greatness, honesty and teamwork.

As a group, we aim to become the most esteemed automotive group by treating people R.I.G.H.T and creating lifetime customers

* Medical, Dental, Vision, Short and Long-term disability, AD&D and Life Insurance
* Year-end bonus program for all employees (Garff Giveback)
* Employee discounts on Vehicle Purchase, Parts, Service and More

Here's what you'll be doing:

* Forecast, meet goals, and objectives for the department
* Prepare and administer an annual operating budget for the service department
* Understand, keep abreast of, and comply with federal, state and local regulations that affect service operations, such as hazardous waste disposal, OSHA right-to-know, etc.
* Hire, train, motivate, counsel, support and monitor the needs and performance of all service department staff (approx. XX direct reports)
* Serve as liaison with BRAND factory representatives
* Handle escalated situations and follow-up, as needed
* Break down estimates into labor and parts before the job is started so that repair technicians are aware of time allowances
* Quality-check completed jobs as needed
* Keep abreast of new equipment and tools available and recommend purchases
* Ensure that the work areas and customer waiting area are kept clean and inviting
* Control the performance of the department using these tools: Daily Operating Control, efficiency and productivity control, comeback reports, order trends and metrics, warranty reports, telephone surveys, and monthly forecasts
* Handle staff's time-off requests, payroll corrections, and other managerial tasks
* Maintain reporting systems required by general management and the manufacturer

Here's what you'll need:

* 5-10 years in a Service Management/Leadership role
* Proven track record in building and developing a high performing service department
* Team oriented, hand-on, and inclusive leadership style
* High School diploma or equivalent, college degree preferred
* Must be able to provide references upon request
