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.
