WHAT DOES AN AUTO SERVICE ADVISOR DO?

AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE ADVISORS work in new and used automobile dealerships and large automobile repair shops. They greet customers, listen to their description of the problems or service needed, determine the type of service required, and prepare service orders. If a vehicle requires additional repairs not covered in the original order, they estimate the added cost and telephone the customer for permission to do the work. They also advise customers on other available services. Automotive Service Advisors, sometimes known as service writers, handle the administrative and customer relations functions of the service department. Their work influences customer satisfaction and their willingness to do business with the dealer again.

Responsibilities

Advise customers about necessary service for routine maintenance.
Help identify a mechanical problem by questioning the customer or doing a visual inspection or road test.
Confer with customers about inspection results, recommend corrective procedures, and prepare work orders for needed repairs.
Prepare a repair order showing time, cost, and labor estimates for service.
Write a brief description of the problem on the repair order to help the mechanic locate the problem.
Explain the work performed and the charges to the customer.
Handle customer complaints.

Qualifications

Troubleshooting – Determining causes of operating errors and deciding what to do about it.
Reading Comprehension – Understanding written sentences and paragraphs in work-related documents.
Writing – Communicating effectively in writing as appropriate for the needs of the audience.
Speaking – Talking to others to convey information effectively.
Active Listening – Giving full attention to what other people are saying, taking time to understand the points being made, asking questions as appropriate, and not interrupting at inappropriate times.

Environment

This job generally requires standing on one’s feet all day. Unlike the mechanic’s job, it is removed from dirt and grease. The workday is broken into relatively quiet periods and extremely busy times, such as the early morning when customers bring in their automobiles for service and repair and in the evening when they return to pick up their automobiles. An Automotive Service Advisor’s work may not be physically strenuous, but may be emotionally exhausting at times. They spend a large amount of time interacting with customers.
