Let’s be honest…
This role isn’t just about booking cars in and answering the phone.
This is for someone who knows how to run a busy service desk properly, keep customers happy, and keep the workshop full without it turning into chaos.
THE ROLE
You’ll be the go-to person for customers from the moment they book in to the moment they drive away.
Managing bookings and keeping the workshop loaded correctly
Keeping customers updated (no chasing, no guessing)
Creating job cards, invoices, and accurate estimates
Spotting opportunities to upsell services in a way that actually makes sense
Working closely with Parts to make sure everything is ready when it needs to be
It’s fast-paced, it’s busy, and it needs someone who stays organised and in control.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
Experience in an admin or office-based role (service advisor experience is a big plus)
Strong communication skills — you’ll be speaking to customers, techs, and internal teams all day
Confidence managing multiple jobs at once without dropping the ball
A commercial mindset — understanding how to maximise bookings and workshop efficiency
