• Letting customers know of any faults or repairs found on their vehicle and provide them with clear and accurate solutions
• Treating any dissatisfied customers with empathy and understanding, reassuring them that we can solve any issues should they arise
• Maintaining customer records such as vehicle details and service histories accurately and efficiently
• Maintaining knowledge of aftersales products and services, upselling where appropriate
• Making sure the customer database is updated and accurate at all times

Essential Skills

• A passion for great customer service and the confidence to resolve any issues that may arise efficiently and in a timely manner
• Demonstrable computer literacy and knowledge of IT systems and applications
• The ability to multi-task and be highly adaptable within a busy environment
• Strong communication and influencing skills, with the ability to explain complex information accurately and concisely to help our customers
• Strong organisational skills to schedule work effectively, balancing the needs of the customer and the capacity of the workshop
• Able to prioritise your workload
• Ability and willingness to work within defined processes and guidelines
• Good core administration skills to accurately capture customer details to the required standards
