Collins Auto Care

About UsCollins Auto Care is a growing, high-volume independent automotive repair facility in Houston with a strong team, established systems, and a culture built around training, accountability, continuous improvement, and an exceptional customer experience.We are seeking an experienced General Manager to lead our daily operations, develop our team, strengthen our culture, and help guide the company through its next stage of growth.While automotive experience is valuable, it is not required. We are especially interested in leaders from high-volume restaurants, hotels, hospitality, luxury retail, and other customer-focused service industries. We believe strong leadership, operational discipline, hospitality, and customer obsession are often harder to teach than automotive systems and processes.We can teach automotive systems and processes.We need someone who already understands leadership, hospitality, accountability, and what it means to take exceptional care of people.Why This Is a Different OpportunityWe are not looking for someone to simply maintain the operation.We are looking for a strong leader who can develop people, improve systems, raise standards, strengthen the customer experience, and help move the company forward.Collins Auto Care is an established, process-driven company with steady car count, professional systems, and a team committed to getting better.We invest heavily in training, leadership development, and continuous improvement.We are closed on weekends because we believe people perform better when they have time for their families and lives outside of work.This is a hands-on leadership position for someone who is comfortable leading from the floor, coaching in real time, reviewing performance, solving problems, and taking ownership of results.Customer ExperienceCustomer experience is not a department at Collins Auto Care.

our company.The right leader will consistently look for ways to make the customer experience easier, more professional, more personal, and more memorable.Our goal is not simply to provide good
