Why City Auto Group:

City Auto Group is growing and growing fast! Established in 2019, owner Anthony Scala is a first-generation car dealer who is looking for go-getters that have a team mentality but take great pride in their individual effort and production.  A positive attitude, being coachable and a relentless work ethic over a decorated resume is who we are looking for! We offer industry leading compensation along with flex work week, 2 weeks paid vacation, health/401k match and, candidly, an awesome work environment!  We are not your typical car dealership.

If we can’t do that, we have no business being in business.  Second, you are expected to lead from the front by example rather than by words. We believe true leadership is seen rather than heard. Third, production matters…it really matters.  We are a highly competitive group with an expectation of winning. We believe winning begins with extreme product knowledge, looking the part, and an enthusiasm for the product, as well as the ability to provide a completely unique experience.
