About Profile

This candidate is an experienced Service Advisor with recent main dealer aftersales experience within both volume and prestige dealership environments. They have strong knowledge of service department operations and are confident managing the full customer journey from booking through to vehicle handover.

Their experience includes service bookings, MOT and diagnostic scheduling, customer updates, invoicing, warranty processing and upselling additional work. Comfortable working within KPI and CSI-driven environments, they understand the importance of maintaining excellent communication and delivering high levels of customer satisfaction throughout the repair process.
