Job description

Service Advisor

Cheltenham £28,000 Basic Salary £33,000 OTE

Good Service Advisors make a busy workshop feel effortless.

We're looking for an experienced Service Advisor to join an established automotive dealership in Cheltenham.

You'll be at the centre of the customer journey, working closely with the workshop to keep vehicles moving, customers informed and expectations managed from the moment a vehicle is booked in through to collection.

If you know your way around a busy aftersales department, enjoy working with people and take pride in getting the details right, we'd like to talk.

The opportunity

This is a customer-facing role with plenty of variety. You'll be managing several vehicles and customer conversations throughout the day, balancing customer expectations with workshop capacity and making sure everyone knows what's happening.

You'll be responsible for:

Booking vehicles into the workshop and understanding exactly what the customer needs
Preparing accurate job cards and making sure the right information is captured from the outset
Liaising closely with Technicians, Workshop Controllers and the wider aftersales team
Providing clear estimates and explaining recommended work in a way customers can understand
Keeping customers updated throughout the repair and servicing process
Discussing additional work and obtaining customer authorisation where required
Explaining technical information without unnecessary jargon
Advising customers on servicing, maintenance and future requirements
Managing queries and resolving issues calmly and professionally
Making sure vehicles are ready for collection and the handover is smooth
Building strong customer relationships that encourage customers to return
Working towards customer satisfaction, departmental and commercial KPIs
Following dealership and manufacturer processes accurately

What we're looking for

We're looking for someone who understands that great Service Advising is about more than booking cars in and handing over keys.

You'll need to be confident with customers, commercially aware and organised enough to keep control when the workshop gets busy.

You'll ideally have:

Previous experience as a Service Advisor within an automotive dealership
A good understanding of workshop and aftersales operations
Excellent communication skills, both face-to-face and over the phone
Confidence discussing recommended and additional work with customers
Strong organisation and attention to detail
The ability to manage competing priorities without losing sight of the customer
A proactive approach to problem solving
A positive, professional and team-focused attitude
A full UK driving licence

Franchised dealership experience would be advantageous, but it isn't everything. If you have strong automotive customer service experience and the right approach, we're happy to have a conversation.

What's on offer

£28,000 basic salary
£33,000 OTE
Established automotive dealership
Supportive aftersales environment
Training and development opportunities
Long-term career progression
The opportunity to build on your automotive experience within an established team

Let's talk

You don't have to be actively looking.

No pressure. No hard sell. Just a straightforward conversation about the opportunity and what you're looking for next.
