Our client, the largest car dealer group in South Wales, with multiple dealerships across the region are currently looking to recruit a Vehicle Service Advisor to join their franchise-approved commercial vehicle dealership in Cardiff.
Reporting to the Aftersales Manager and working alongside a team of 2 other Vehicle Service Advisors, you will need to be a confident relationship builder, be able to influence and advise customers on minor technical issues with their vehicle whilst delivering a first-class service, and also achieve the company's objectives and targets. You will greet customers into the Service Department and book their vehicles in for associated repair work, have extensive liaison with the workshop to chase work in progress, up-sell on additional products and services where possible, and keep customers informed of the progress of their vehicle whilst taking payments for work completed.
Due to the nature of this role, the successful Advisor would need to have prior or present experience working as a Vehicle Service Advisor or similar within the motor industry and 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 Kerridge/Drive/RTC system would be highly advantageous but is non-essential). Liaising with the manufacturer to authorise warranty repairs, and a general knowledge of automotive warranty procedures would also be advantageous, but is non-essential. A UK driving license with minimal points is essential, though.
