Automotive Service Department Coach
About this role
Description
Automotive Service Department Coach – Remote (Travel Required)
Chris Collins, Inc. | Los Angeles, CA (Remote)
$130,000–$170,000+ DOE
This is your shot.
Not a tagline. A genuine opportunity for someone who has put in the years, knows automotive service operations at a high level, and is ready to stop being the best-kept secret in their dealership.
We're Chris Collins, Inc. — the team behind the Service Drive Revolution. We partner with dealerships across the U.S. and Canada to transform their service departments: the numbers, the culture, and the people running it. We're expanding our coaching team, and we're looking for one of the rare ones.
What You'll Actually Do
You'll be on-site at automotive dealerships 3 weeks a month, working directly with Owners, GMs, Service Directors, and frontline staff. This is not PowerPoint consulting. You are in the trenches — auditing operations, fixing what's broken, and building what's missing.
- Identify profit leaks and implement real solutions
- Train service advisors in high-level selling strategies that actually work
- Coach managers on leadership, accountability, and how to build a culture worth keeping
- Drive KPI comprehension and hold teams to results
- Deliver a mix of on-site and virtual coaching depending on client needs
A typical month: 3 weeks on the road across the U.S. and Canada, 1 week remote.
Who We're Looking For
You have significant experience in automotive service operations — as a Service Manager, Fixed Ops Director, Service Advisor, or similar. You've seen dealerships at their worst and know exactly what it takes to turn them around. You can walk into a room full of skeptics and earn their respect before lunch.
Beyond the résumé:
- You're self-motivated and don't need hand-holding
- You communicate with clarity and confidence
- You hold yourself to a standard most people find exhausting
- You're ready for a role with real autonomy — and real accountability
If you've been thinking you were built for more than your current role allows, you're probably right.
What You Get
- $130,000–$170,000+ annually (Senior Coaches regularly exceed $200K)
- Training in our proprietary coaching systems and tools
- A team of high performers who take the work seriously and respect each other's autonomy
- The chance to make a measurable difference in people's careers and livelihoods
- A company with serious growth plans over the next 2–4 years — and coaches who grow with it
Apply if this is you. Skip it if it's not.
We're not looking for volume. We're looking for the right person.
Chris Collins, Inc. is an equal opportunity employer.
