Once completed, you will also relay all necessary information from the technician to the customer clearly and effectively. Here, Service Advisors make sure the customer knows what repairs are needed and what repairs and maintenance are recommended. We also offer a FREE Wellness option that is available to each and every employee at the time of Benefit Enrollment eligibility.

The ideal candidate has a high school diploma or GED, some post-secondary automotive training or experience, at least one year of dealer-level or large facility experience, an unrestricted driver's license and a clean driving record, and a strong technical and customer service performance record. ASE certification is a plus!
