About Lentini Auto Salvage

Lentini Auto Salvage is a family-owned and operated automotive recycling company that has proudly served our customers since 1941. With two New Jersey locations and a growing customer base, we specialize in providing high-quality, late-model recycled auto parts to collision repair facilities, mechanical repair shops, dealerships, other automotive recyclers, and retail customers.

Our continued growth comes from investing in quality inventory, technology, our employees, and exceptional customer service.

We are looking for a motivated Auto Parts Sales Representative to join our growing sales team.

The Position

This is a fast-paced, customer-focused sales position with significant earning potential.

You will work with both existing and new customers to locate the correct automotive parts, prepare quotes, close sales, process orders, and manage those orders through delivery.

Our sales team handles a high volume of inbound opportunities while also building long-term relationships with customers through follow-up, outbound sales, and excellent customer service.

Automotive or recycled auto parts experience is a plus, but it is not required for our onsite position. We are willing to train someone who is motivated, comfortable communicating with customers, willing to learn, and driven to succeed.

This position is primarily based at our Ringoes, NJ location; however, a remote position may be available for the right experienced candidate.

Responsibilities
- Answer inbound calls, emails, and online inquiries from wholesale and retail customers
- Identify customer needs and locate the correct parts for their vehicles
- Quote, negotiate, and sell automotive parts
- Verify vehicle information, VINs, options, and part compatibility to ensure order accuracy
- Use automotive industry software and platforms such as Hollander, PartsTrader, Car-Part, and other estimating and ordering systems
- Process orders accurately and follow them from the initial inquiry through delivery
- Follow up on open quotes and sales opportunities
- Build and maintain strong relationships with existing customers
- Develop new business through outbound calls and customer outreach
- Communicate professionally regarding availability, pricing, delivery, returns, and warranty questions
- Stay informed about inventory and available purchasing networks
- Meet individual sales goals and contribute to overall team performance
- Provide the level of customer service expected from a company that has been serving the automotive industry for more than 85 years

What We're Looking For
- Strong communication and customer service skills
- Comfortable speaking with customers on the phone throughout the day
- Competitive, self-motivated, and goal-oriented
- Ability to multitask and work efficiently in a fast-paced sales environment
- Willingness to learn automotive parts, vehicle options, and industry software
- Strong computer skills and the ability to learn new systems
- Attention to detail and commitment to order accuracy
- Strong follow-up skills and the ability to build long-term customer relationships
- Automotive knowledge or an interest in vehicles is strongly preferred
- Previous experience in automotive parts, automotive repair, collision repair, estimating, customer service, or sales is a plus
- Recycled auto parts experience is a major plus, but not required for onsite candidates

Remote Candidates

A remote position may be available for the right candidate. Because of the nature of remote sales, we are primarily looking for candidates who already have experience in the automotive parts or recycled auto parts industry.

Remote candidates should have:

- Proven automotive or recycled auto parts sales experience
- Strong knowledge of automotive parts and vehicle applications
- Experience with Hollander, Powerlink, Car-Part, PartsTrader, or similar automotive industry systems
- The ability to work independently and remain productive without direct supervision
- Strong phone, email, and online communication skills
- A proven ability to manage customers, follow up on opportunities, and consistently generate sales

Compensation

We want new salespeople to have the opportunity to learn our systems, products, customers, and sales process before transitioning to a performance-based compensation structure.

First 90 Days:

- $30 per hour
- Plus commission opportunities
- Full training and development

After 90 Days:

- Transition to a commission-based compensation structure
- Strong performers have the opportunity to earn $100,000–$150,000+ annually
- Earning potential is directly tied to sales performance and the ability to build and maintain a strong customer base

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants their income to reflect their effort, performance, and ability to grow.

Benefits
- 100% company-paid employee health insurance after 90 days
- 401(k) plan after 6 months
- Monday–Friday schedule

Why Join Lentini?

Established Since 1941
Join a fourth-generation, family-owned company with more than 85 years in the automotive recycling industry.

Strong Earning Potential
This isn't a position where you're locked into the same hourly wage regardless of performance. Successful salespeople have the opportunity to build a strong customer base and significantly increase their income.

We Invest in Inventory
Salespeople need quality products to sell. We continuously invest in late-model vehicles and fresh inventory to give our team more opportunities to say YES to customers.

We Invest in Technology
We continue to adopt new systems, tools, and industry platforms designed to help our team work efficiently, locate more parts, reach more customers, and close more sales.

Training and Development
You don't need to know everything about automotive parts on your first day. For onsite candidates, we're willing to teach the right person our systems, inventory, processes, and industry.

Room to Grow
We believe in developing people from within. Strong performers can build long-term careers and pursue additional responsibilities and leadership opportunities.
