Our Service Advisors are responsible for delivering and sustaining a fantastic experience for all our service and vehicle repair customers.

We’re looking for an articulate, warm communicator who can give our customers the star treatment – whether it’s first thing on a manic Monday or last thing on a Friday afternoon.

• Liaising with the workshop and bodyshop to progress work through the system
• Controlling all computer-based jobs, purchasing and invoice processes, ensuring the financial interests of the customer and the company are protected
• 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
• A full UK driving licence

Nice to have (but not essential)

• Experience of upselling products or services
