A well-established and consistently high-performing Chevrolet dealership in the Southeast is seeking a seasoned Parts Manager to lead its large, high-volume parts department as the store transitions into a new, expanded, state-of-the-art facility.

This is a critical leadership position within a stable, privately held dealer group with a strong General Manager in place. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of successfully managing General Motors parts departments in high-volume environments.

The parts department plays a vital role in supporting an exceptionally busy service department, so strong collaboration and communication with service leadership is essential. The position requires a hands-on leader who excels in inventory management, team leadership, and parts sales performance — particularly within the GM ecosystem.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Parts Sales: Drive internal, retail, and wholesale parts sales. Provide accurate availability and pricing information.
  • Customer Service: Ensure excellent customer service for both internal and external clients. Manage returns, concerns, and special requests efficiently.
  • Team Leadership: Manage and develop a large parts staff, including counter personnel and drivers. Provide training, assign duties, and conduct performance evaluations.
  • Pricing & Profitability: Establish competitive and profitable pricing strategies. Monitor margins, analyze trends, and make adjustments as necessary.
  • Compliance & Controls: Implement cycle counts, inventory audits, and loss prevention practices. Ensure compliance with GM and dealership policies.
  • Sourcing: Locate and acquire specialty or hard-to-find GM parts as needed.
  • Budget Management: Develop and manage department budget, including expense control and profitability analysis.
  • Reporting: Prepare and deliver regular reports on parts department performance, inventory turnover, and financial metrics.
  • Technology Utilization: Leverage DMS and OEM platforms to streamline operations and enhance efficiency.
  • Interdepartmental Collaboration: Work closely with the Service, Collision, and Sales departments to align goals and ensure smooth operation.

Candidate Requirements:

  • Proven success as a Parts Manager in a high-volume General Motors dealership
  • Strong background in inventory and team management
  • Excellent communication and problem-solving skills
  • Proficiency in dealership management systems (GM GlobalConnect, etc.)
  • Ability to lead a large, diverse parts team in a fast-paced environment
  • Committed to operational excellence and long-term departmental growth

Compensation & Benefits:

  • Competitive compensation package in the $175,000 range for qualified candidates
  • Full benefits package including medical, dental, vision, and PTO
  • Long-term growth opportunity within a stable dealership group

This is a rare opportunity to take the lead in a flagship parts operation during a major facility upgrade — ideal for a proven GM Parts Manager ready to make a lasting impact.
