Service Advisor

CS Ford Lincoln, LLC, College Station, TX, United States


Description
Working as a Service Advisor can be a rewarding or thankless job, and both happen every day. Advisors help customers with maintenance, recalls, and warranty and non‑warranty repairs. Technicians are trained to fix vehicles, and Advisors are the liaison between the technician and the customer.

Service Advisors should greet every customer with a smile, because we understand that no one likes to take their car in.

Advisors are there to explain what repairs are needed and what repairs and maintenance are recommended, and they clearly communicate these in a timely manner. Technicians talk shop, but Advisors talk in language the customer can understand (in English or Spanish).
