Manager-In-Training
Are you ready to step into shop leadership with hands-on guidance from day one? The Manager-In-Training program begins with a focused, two-week paid training experience where you’ll learn the fundamentals of running a modern, technology-enabled auto repair shop. You’ll cover customer service, workflow management, sales processes, team leadership, and daily operational systems.
If you successfully complete training, you’ll be placed at one of our existing Stress-Free locations as a Manager in Training, where you’ll continue developing under experienced leaders. With consistent performance and strong leadership ability, MIT graduates can grow into General Manager roles, leading their own $1–3M shop and driving real impact.
Fast Track Leadership Program
Are you an experienced leader from retail, hospitality, food service, or another fast-paced customer-facing industry? The FastTrack Leadership Program is built for high-initiative young professionals who already know how to manage people, drive performance, and deliver great service. Like the MIT track, you’ll begin with a two-week paid training program where you’ll learn the core systems, workflows, customer experience standards, and leadership expectations of running a Stress-Free shop.
Upon successful completion, you’ll be placed as a Manager in Training, but on an accelerated path. FastTrack candidates who demonstrate strong leadership, communication, and operational excellence can progress into a General Manager role within 6 months, leading one of our $1–3M auto repair shops.
