Meet Ryan Blair – Founder of Simply Auto Group

I started my career in the automotive industry in 2005 as a technician — a college dropout with a toolbox and a lot to prove. I quickly became one of the top-performing Audi technicians in the country, tripling the average technician’s output and winning the Audi Twin Cup National Championship. That experience laid the foundation for what would come next.

In 2014, I opened my first shop, Blair Automotive, out of a small storage unit with no air conditioning and no customers. It was just me, one lift, and a vision. Since then, I’ve grown that one-man operation into Simply Auto Group — a $35 million/year business with 10 locations across Texas, Colorado, and over 120 team members.

I’ve been in your shoes. I know what it’s like to flag hours, hit deadlines, and chase excellence in the bay or at the service counter. That’s why Simply Auto Group is built differently — we focus on efficiency, career development, and team culture. We invest in ongoing training, leadership development, and giving our team the support they need to grow, whether your goal is to become a top producer, a shop foreman, or even run your own location one day.

This is more than just a job — it’s a career path with real growth potential. We’re looking for motivated, hard-working people who take pride in their work and want to be part of a growing, ambitious team. If you're ready to take the next step, we’d love to meet you.
