Automotive Accessory Specialist

Cochrane Toyota | Cochrane, Alberta

About the Role

Are you passionate about vehicles, accessories, and helping customers make their Toyota their own?

Cochrane Toyota is looking for an energetic, sales-driven Automotive Accessory Specialist to grow our Toyota Genuine Accessories business while supporting day-to-day operations in our Parts Department.

We're looking for someone who enjoys connecting with customers, identifying sales opportunities, and turning conversations into results. Working closely with our Sales, Parts, and Service Departments, you'll introduce customers to accessories that enhance their vehicles and fit their lifestyles. From running boards and tonneau covers to roof racks, cargo solutions, and protection packages, you'll help customers discover the accessories that make their Toyota even better. While accessory sales and development will be your primary focus, you'll also assist with Parts Counter operations as required, supporting technicians, retail customers, and the broader Parts team.

At Cochrane Toyota, we believe the customer experience doesn't end when someone purchases a vehicle.

We're committed to creating a seamless ownership experience while continuously finding ways to grow our business.

You'll join a collaborative team where your ideas, initiative, and results can make a measurable difference.
