Let’s be straight about the money — it’s what matters most.

Our salespeople earn a real living, and our best earn a great one. Solid producers make six figures. Our top performers clear $200,000 or more. Your pay is uncapped — what you earn is up to you.

• You’re paid a guaranteed weekly draw while you get up to speed — with extra protection for new hires during your first stretch. You earn from day one instead of waiting months for a paycheck.

Walk-ins welcome — ask for Lynn Wilkirson (Team Leader)

• Every deal pays a fair minimum. You’re never working for nothing.

• The more you sell, the more you earn on every car. Your pay grows with your results.

• People who work hard and want their income to reflect it

• Strong communicators who enjoy working with people

• Coachable, and willing to learn and follow a proven process

• Dependable — you show up and put in the work

No automotive experience required. Some of our best teammates came from restaurants, retail, the trades, and other fields. If you’re good with people and willing to learn, we’ll teach you the business.

The honest part:

This is a commission role, and we’re upfront about that. We don’t pay people to stand around — the income here rewards people who put in the work. If you’ve ever felt underpaid for how hard you work, this is a real chance to change that.
