Started with a call from recruitment, then spoke with the store manager and then the DM. The DM has the final decision, but you need to follow up or they might forget about you, which happened to me; they called me a month later with an offer.

I reached out to the Area Manager directly after submitting my information on the company's website. About a week later, I received a phone call back. The interview took place at the potential job site. The questions were easy and not like the typical corporate hiring process. Even though it was about three weeks after I applied online, the Area Manager seemed to be using the information I had emailed him directly. He appeared to be able to make a hiring decision right away, but might have wanted to wait for the official application to go through the usual corporate channels. He did ask about my salary expectations and gave me a general idea of what the salary range would be.

The service manager had me complete an online quiz about customer service and math basics. After the manager reviewed my quiz results, I had a one-on-one interview where we discussed my available work times, experience with automobiles, and what I hoped to gain from the company. I felt the interview focused more on my personality and how I'd interact with coworkers if hired.
