As a Service Advisor, you'll be the primary point of contact for customers bringing their vehicles in for maintenance and repair. You'll guide customers through the service process from vehicle drop-off to delivery while ensuring an exceptional customer experience.

Responsibilities include:

• Lead the customer experience from vehicle drop-off through vehicle delivery

A Day in the Life

Your day begins by reviewing appointments and preparing for a busy service drive.

Once the doors open, the pace accelerates quickly. Customers arrive throughout the day, technicians need updates, phones are ringing, repair priorities shift, and new challenges emerge regularly.

At any given time, you may be:

• Greeting a customer with a warning light or drivability concern
• Reviewing technician findings and repair recommendations
• Contacting customers with updates and estimates
• Explaining repairs, pricing, and maintenance needs
• Coordinating parts availability and completion timelines
• Managing multiple repair orders at various stages of completion
• Resolving unexpected issues while maintaining a positive customer experience

Success in this role requires:

• Staying composed under pressure
• Communicating clearly and confidently
• Solving problems in real time
• Managing interruptions without losing focus
• Taking ownership instead of passing problems along
• Maintaining organization in a constantly changing environment

This role is fast-paced, demanding, and highly rewarding for individuals who enjoy challenge, responsibility, and performance-based compensation.

• Naturally organized and able to manage multiple priorities at once

• Accountable and willing to take ownership of challenges
• Adaptable when priorities shift throughout the day
• Able to balance customer needs, repair accuracy, and business goals
• Confident recommending needed repairs and explaining their value
• Comfortable balancing customer satisfaction with operational efficiency

If you're looking for a predictable day with minimal interruptions, this position may not be the right fit.

If you enjoy solving problems, helping customers, working with a team, and being rewarded for strong performance, you'll have the opportunity to build a highly rewarding career here.
