Job description

High-Performing Dealership | $240,000+ Earning Potential | Career Growth We're looking for an exceptional automotive leader—not someone looking to learn the business, but someone who knows how to lead it, grow it, and deliver results. Join a nationally recognized Audi dealership ranked Top 10 nationally for New and Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) performance.

This is an opportunity to lead within a proven, high-performing operation backed by one of the largest automotive groups in the country. Why This Opportunity Stands Out: Top 10 Nationally: Join a top-performing Audi dealership recognized for its New and CPO performance. Proven Career Advancement: This opportunity is available because the previous manager was promoted to General Manager within Sonic Automotive.

In fact, the last three managers in this operation have advanced into GM positions within our company.

Performance-based earning potential of $240,000+ annually , with compensation tailored to experience, leadership ability, and results.
