Service Advisor

Service Advisor Job type: Full Time · Department: Service · Work type: On-Site Fremont, California, United States About Pebble Pebble Inc. is reimagining the open road, building smart, sustainable electric travel trailers for the next generation of adventurers. As a Service Advisor, you are the owner's primary advocate and the operational backbone of our service team. This role goes well beyond intake and scheduling: you will own warranty case management, coordinate mobile technician dispatch, build and present repair quotes from labor and parts, and guide owners through difficult conversations, including warranty denials and unexpected costs, with the professionalism and empathy that a premium product demands. This is not a traditional service advisor role. Success requires balancing owner advocacy with sound business judgment, navigating complex warranty decisions, managing escalated customer situations, and maintaining composure when conversations become difficult. If you thrive under pressure, communicate with clarity when stakes are high, and take pride in resolving complex problems for people who care deeply about their product, this role is built for you.

No exceptions.
