Outside Territory Sales Representative
Automotive Parts Sales | KAR Auto Parts
Drive Your Career. Build Relationships. Earn What You're Worth.
Since 1995, KAR Auto Parts has been one of the GTA's leading independent automotive parts distributors. We've built our reputation on fast deliveries, knowledgeable people, and exceptional customer service. As we continue to grow, we're looking for a motivated Outside Territory Sales Representative to help expand our customer base and strengthen relationships throughout the Greater Toronto Area.
This isn't a position for someone looking to simply maintain accounts. We're looking for someone who enjoys winning new business, building lasting relationships, and helping repair shops succeed. If you're competitive, driven by results, passionate about the automotive industry, and motivated by unlimited earning potential, we'd love to meet you.
What You'll Do
As an Outside Territory Sales Representative, you'll be responsible for growing and managing your own territory by developing relationships with independent repair shops, collision centres, fleets, dealerships, and other automotive professionals. You'll spend your time visiting customers, identifying opportunities, solving problems, and becoming their trusted parts partner.
Success in this role comes from consistently prospecting new business, growing existing accounts, delivering outstanding service, and ensuring every customer knows they can depend on KAR Auto Parts when it matters most.
What We're Looking For
The ideal candidate is an experienced sales professional with a genuine passion for the automotive industry.
We'd love to meet someone who has automotive aftermarket or dealership parts experience and already understands how repair shops operate, what urgency means in this business, and how to build long-term commercial relationships. While automotive parts experience is strongly preferred, we're also interested in exceptional sales professionals who are eager to learn our industry.
The successful candidate will possess:
- Proven success in outside sales, account management, or business development.
- Automotive parts, dealership, or aftermarket industry experience preferred.
- Strong relationship-building and communication skills.
- A competitive mindset with a passion for winning new business.
- Confidence prospecting and developing new accounts.
- Exceptional customer service skills.
- Strong organizational and time management abilities.
- A self-motivated attitude with the ability to work independently.
- Mechanical curiosity and an interest in vehicles and the automotive industry.
- Coachability and a desire for continuous improvement.
- Comfort using CRM systems, mobile technology, and Microsoft Office.
- A valid driver's license with a reliable vehicle.
What Makes Someone Successful at KAR
Our best sales representatives are people who take ownership of their territory. They don't wait for opportunities—they create them.
They enjoy meeting customers face-to-face, following up consistently, solving problems quickly, and becoming the first call every morning when a repair shop needs parts. They understand that trust is earned through reliability, responsiveness, and delivering on every promise.
If you enjoy building relationships, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and are motivated by achieving ambitious goals, you'll fit in well with our team.
