We believe in technician training, it is a must in our industry and a requirement of the dealership. Commissioned technicians are paid for all training, whether it is in-house or at an offsite location. The minimum payment is the agreed-upon hourly rate, if a technician is over 100% efficient then they are paid this amount. Offsite training is based on per day average and all expenses are paid. In addition, we also have created a number of internal training paths (Technician Career Pathway) to sharpen and develop the necessary skills to succeed.

El Toro Auto Group started in August of 2018 and has grown to 6 dealerships in just 6 years. We believe where growth happens, so do career opportunities. We can share numerous examples of career growth within our company from Technician to Master Tech, Master Tech to Shop Foreman, Foreman to Service Manager, and Service Manager to Fixed Ops Director.

I am glad you asked! Performance reviews are opportunities for us to receive feedback on what we do well, and what opportunities there are to improve. We are currently evaluating a comprehensive online platform in which we can conduct quarterly performance reviews.

We have an in depth safety training program. The required safety training is dependent upon the position the employee is hired for.

Mentoring with a senior technician is dependent on the individual. We believe in training and one stepping stone for a qualified entry-level technician is a partnership with a Senior Master. This is how we "grow and develop" our own. Our Service Manager and Fixed Ops Director work very closely with developing our current staff so we can maximize career potential.

As a family-owned/operated auto group, the El Toro Auto Group family of dealerships is very involved within our local community. Our 3 pillars are supporting: education, athletics, and first responders.

Absolutely. We are involved in our local Auto Tech & FFA programs within our local high schools. In addition, we actively recruit from UTI in Houston & Austin, South Texas Vocational Institute, and St Phillips College to provide careers for aspiring career technicians.

We try to always promote from within. From our service drive lot attendants to our maintenance technicians, and main shop technicians. If a position becomes available, we will always look internally first.

We like to phone screen all applicants to share additional information and then invite them to visit our location and see our facilities.

We ask each applicant to allow as much as two hours for a complete interview. This interview will consist of talking with several people including the Service Manager, Director of Hiring and Development, and Fixed Ops Director. We feel this gives enough time for the Dealership and the applicant to determine if it is a good fit for all involved.

All applicants must demonstrate the ability to pass a pre-employment background check and drug screen. Personality is assessed at the time of the interview.

The skill assessment takes place during the interview. This is based on years of being in the industry, level of experience, dealership or aftermarket training, etc.

This is on a case-by-case basis depending on how many positions we may need to fill. In some instances, an offer will be given on the day of the face-to-face interview. If an offer is not extended at the time of the interview, you can expect to hear from someone within three to five days at most.

In most cases, 1 week.

Employee retention is very important to us; It is what has propelled our auto group to withstand the tremendous growth we've experienced since 2019. In order to ensure that we keep employee retention high, we are selective on whom we decide to bring to our team and afterwards provide them with the resources necessary to succeed and create a career with our auto group.
