Likely interview questions for this role
Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.
About your past
Tell me about your driving record and the kind of vehicles you've driven for work or on a regular basis.
What they are checking: Whether they can be insured to drive a company vehicle, which is a hard requirement before anything else matters.
What do you know about cars right now, and how would you go about learning the parts and systems you don't know yet?
What they are checking: An honest read of their starting point and whether they have a real plan to close the gaps.
Tell me about a time you had to tell a customer you didn't have what they needed. How did you keep them from walking out?
What they are checking: Whether they look for another option, like a special order or a nearby store, instead of just saying no.
Tell me about a job where you had to sell something, add on an item or meet a sales goal. How did it go?
What they are checking: Whether they're comfortable recommending items like wipers, fluids or tools without being pushy with customers.
What would you do
This job splits your day between the counter and the delivery van around Milwaukee. How would you keep both sides going when a delivery is due and there's a line at the counter?
What they are checking: Whether they can switch between selling and driving without letting either customer feel like an afterthought.
A mechanic at a shop on your route opens the bag and says it's the wrong part. What do you do right there?
What they are checking: How they handle a frustrated professional customer while getting the right part moving fast instead of arguing about blame.
You have four deliveries going to different shops and one of them is marked rush. How do you plan your route?
What they are checking: Whether they think about time, distance and promises together rather than just driving the stops in order.
It's snowing hard and your next delivery is twenty minutes away on back roads. How do you decide what to do?
What they are checking: Whether they put safety ahead of speed and communicate a delay instead of taking risks to hit a time.
A regular customer asks you to just drop the part on the counter without anyone signing, because they're busy. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they follow delivery procedure when it's inconvenient, since unsigned tickets cause billing disputes later.
About the work
Before you pull out with a load of parts, what do you check on the vehicle and on the paperwork?
What they are checking: Whether they treat a pre-trip check and an order check as habits, since a wrong part costs a shop a whole trip.
A customer walks in and says their car makes a grinding noise when they brake. How would you start helping them?
What they are checking: Whether they ask the right questions about the vehicle and symptom before reaching for a part.
When you pick up returns and old cores from a shop, what would you do to make sure they're counted and credited correctly?
What they are checking: Whether they understand that returns and cores are money for the customer and the store, so sloppiness costs both.
