Description
People-focused sales role with strong earnings, growth, and stability
If you enjoy helping people, hitting goals, and earning what you’re worth, this is a career opportunity worth your attention.
Our Service Advisors are trusted guides for our guests and key drivers of our success. You’ll build relationships, solve problems, and be rewarded for performance, all within a family-owned organization that puts people first.
WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT
This is not a service counter job.
You build real relationships with guests
You educate and advise, not pressure
You’re part of a team that supports each other and wins together
You own the guest experience from start to finish
We’re a fifth-generation, family-owned automotive group with a strong reputation for integrity, culture, and guest experience. Our Service Advisors are professionals, not order takers.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Greet guests and build trust from the first conversation
Listen, ask questions, and understand each guest’s needs
Present maintenance and repair recommendations clearly and confidently
Advise ethically through education, not pressure
Coordinate communication between technicians and guests
Own the full guest experience from write-up to vehicle delivery
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
A sales-oriented, competitive mindset
Strong communication and people skills
Comfort in a fast-paced, team-driven environment
Coachability and a desire to grow
Accountability and follow-through
Automotive experience is optional and welcomed from many backgrounds.
If you’ve succeeded in sales, hospitality, retail, or customer service, we’ll train you to succeed as a Service Advisor.

Competitive pay with performance-based earnings
Direct deposit payroll and company-funded 401(k)
Health, dental, vision, and supplemental insurance options

Those who like goals, structure, and being rewarded for effort
Team players who value trust, transparency, and accountability
Individuals who want a career with a future, not just a job
Our open-door, open-book leadership style means your voice matters. We run on EOS and live by “The Don Johnson Way,” a culture built on integrity, engagement, and continuous growth.
