FIXED OPERATIONS DIRECTOR – THREE ROOFTOPS | ZERO EXCUSES Ford Chevrolet Hyundai | Southern California

If you’re comfortable with mediocrity, excuses, or babysitting, stop reading now.

We are recruiting a true Fixed Ops Director to take full command of Service, Parts, Warranty, CSI, Retention, and Gross across three franchise dealerships. This is not a figurehead role. This is total accountability.

This position is for someone who:

Has already built elite Fixed Ops departments

Understands that gross, efficiency, and throughput matter more than excuses

Knows how to hold managers accountable without drama

Can walk into underperforming departments and fix them fast

WHAT YOU WILL OWN (NOT “OVERSEE”) You will have direct authority over:

Service Directors / Service Managers

Parts Directors / Parts Managers

Warranty administration

Menu pricing & sales effectiveness

Technician productivity, efficiency, and retention

Advisor pay plans, performance, and discipline

CSI without sacrificing gross

Loaner strategy & expense control

Fixed Ops absorption (real absorption, not accounting tricks)

If you don’t believe Fixed Ops should carry the dealership, this role is not for you.

NON-NEGOTIABLE PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS You will be expected to consistently deliver:

Top-tier ELR (no discount culture)

Advisor sales effectiveness north of industry averages

Technician efficiency that actually pays techs and the store

Strong warranty recovery without bleeding goodwill

High retention without giving work away

Clean, disciplined processes that scale across rooftops

If you rely on vendors, excuses, or “the market,” you won’t last.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR You are:

A proven Fixed Ops leader with multi-store experience

Comfortable making hard calls and removing underperformers

Highly fluent in KPI-driven management

Strong in culture, accountability, and execution

Technically sharp (DMS, reporting, pay plans, workflow, capacity modeling)

You are not:

A career meeting-attender

Someone who hides behind CSI surveys

Someone who blames OEMs, weather, or staffing for poor performance

COMPENSATION & UPSIDE

Aggressive compensation plan tied directly to performance

Serious upside for the right operator

Long-term growth opportunity with an ownership group that actually invests in Fixed Ops

If you perform, you will be paid accordingly. If you don’t, this will be short-lived.

FINAL WARNING This role is high-visibility and high-pressure.

You will be measured weekly, monthly, and quarterly.

If you’re elite, this is a career-defining opportunity.

If you’re average, don’t apply.

10 years minimum in dealership executive management
