Build customer relationships throughout the vehicle-buying journey, provide vehicle and pricing information, schedule showroom and test-drive appointments, and use consultative selling to help customers select vehicles.

The role requires flexible availability, including weekends, and a clean driving record with a valid driver's license.
Hello Auto Group has an immediate opening for a Sales Associate at our rapidly growing Mazda store in San Diego, California.
Do you love the car business and interacting with customers, but don’t always agree with the sales process or the Management direction? Do you believe the automotive sales experience can and should be fun, transparent, and straightforward?
What if you had the ability to sign out your own customers and didn’t have to wait hours for the “Finance Manager” to possibly ruin the great CSI score you worked so hard on?
At Hello Auto Group, we believe buying a car should be simple, transparent, and enjoyable. That's why we've eliminated many of the traditional dealership frustrations for both customers and employees. Our Client Advisors manage the entire customer journey, creating a better experience and building stronger relationships.
At Hello, you can give the customer the experience they deserve and work a deal that you feel good about. We are a local and privately owned dealer group. The owners are present, accessible, and involved in the day-to-day operations of the company. This approach trickles down through everyone at Hello and creates a culture of teamwork and an energy that customers feel when they arrive.
We welcome applicants with prior automotive auto sales experience, but we would also love to talk to you if you're currently involved in sales or customer service in other fields. We pay a guaranteed hourly base salary plus bonuses.
Join a great team and build a career with us!

With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
