About Profile

This candidate is a highly experienced automotive Parts Advisor with over 14 years working within accident repair and bodyshop environments. Their background includes bodyshop parts management, trade parts sales and supplier coordination, giving them strong technical knowledge alongside excellent customer service and organisational ability.

Most of their career has been spent within busy bodyshop operations, where they were responsible for ordering and managing parts for ongoing repair jobs, checking deliveries, maintaining stock levels and liaising daily with suppliers, technicians and estimators to ensure repairs progressed smoothly and efficiently.

They are highly organised and detail-focused, with strong experience identifying additional required parts, managing invoicing processes and ensuring parts matched correctly to repair orders. Their understanding of bodyshop workflow and accident repair processes allows them to support productivity while minimising downtime and delays.

Personable and professional, they come across very well and have built a stable automotive career through reliability, communication and a strong work ethic. They are now looking to return fully into a bodyshop parts environment where they can continue developing within the area of the industry they enjoy most.
