Reporting to the Service Manager and working alongside a service reception and workshop team, you will be responsible for providing a proactive service to customers requesting to schedule their vehicles for service, maintenance or repair work and arranging where necessary a courtesy vehicle. As a Vehicle Service Advisor, you will greet customers in the Service Department, extensively liaise with the Workshop Controller and Vehicle Technician to monitor and chase work in progress, carry out upselling of additional products and services where possible, and keep customers informed of the progress on their vehicle amongst other ad-hoc responsibilities.
Due to the nature of this Service Advisor role, the successful candidate will ideally have prior or present experience working as a Vehicle Service Advisor or have worked in a similar aftersales customer service-orientated role in the motor trade such as in parts, accident repair, or rental. You must be able to deliver the very highest level of customer service through strong communication skills resulting in total customer satisfaction. Overall you will have a passion for working for the manufacturer and have very strong organisational skills along with IT proficiency (experience with the Kerridge/Keyloop DMS system would be highly advantageous but is non-essential). Liaising with manufacturers to authorise warranty repairs and general knowledge of automotive warranty procedures would also be advantageous but is non-essential. A UK driving license with minimal points is essential though.
