A Bodyshop Advisor in the motor trade acts as a link between the customer and workshop. A Bodyshop Advisor typically works within a Bodyshop environment such as an Independent Garage or an Accident Repair Centre however some Main Dealerships have their own Bodyshops attached, in which case a Bodyshop Advisor could be based there.
Working as a Bodyshop Advisor is a role that requires the highest level of customer service and administration skills. Day to day duties will include booking in vehicles for repairs, processing paper work including claims, administering cash and card payments and keeping all parties including the customer and insurance companies up to date with the progress of the repairs process. It is essential the Bodyshop Advisors within the Auto Industry have excellent communication skills and a sound understanding of the mechanics of a vehicle.
Working closely with the Vehicle Technicians and Workshop Controller, the Bodyshop Advisor can enjoy a brilliant career path. With lots of Bodyshops offering manufacturer training, a Bodyshop Advisor can progress into a Senior Bodyshop Advisor and progress to Quality Controller or Workshop Controller. Alternatively a Bodyshop Advisor could choose to work in the Servicing Team and become a Service Advisor, Service Team Leader and finally a Service Manager. It is a career that offers high levels of satisfaction and no two days are the same.
Bodyshop Advisor hours reflect those of the workshop, so typically they will work a 40hour week Monday to Friday and will often find that they work a Saturday on a rota basis.
