Service Advisor

Working as a Service Advisor can be a rewarding or thankless job, and both happen every day. Advisors help customers with maintenance, recalls, and warranty and non-warranty repairs. Technicians are trained to fix vehicles, and Advisors are the liaison between the technician and the customer. Service Advisors should greet every customer with a smile, because let's face it, no one likes to take their car in. Advisors are there to explain what repairs are needed and what repairs and maintenance are recommended and he/she clearly communicates these in a timely manner. Technicians talk shop, but Advisors talk in language the customer can understand (in English or Spanish).
