As our Service Advisor / Keyholder, you'll have significant responsibility for the daily customer experience and flow of the shop.

You'll be expected to:

• Open the shop and ensure the day starts smoothly
• Serve as the first point of contact for incoming customer calls
• Convert inbound calls into scheduled appointments
• Greet customers and manage vehicle check-in
• Help dispatch vehicles to technicians
• Communicate repair status and updates to customers
• Present recommended repairs and sell needed work
• Communicate with customers by phone and text
• Present digital vehicle inspection findings

Who We're Looking For

This position requires someone who can balance sales, customer service, leadership, communication, and operational responsibility.

The ideal candidate has:

• Significant professional sales and customer-service experience
• Approximately 8+ years of relevant experience preferred
• Proven experience selling higher-dollar products or services
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Strong emotional intelligence
• Confidence handling difficult conversations and making decisions

Automotive Service Advisor experience is preferred but not strictly required. Candidates from high-level hospitality, luxury service, management, or other customer-focused industries may be considered if they have the communication skills, sales ability, maturity, and leadership presence we're looking for.

This Is Not a Typical Service Advisor Position

If you're looking to simply show up, write repair orders, sell work, and go home, this probably isn't the right opportunity.

We're looking for someone who wants responsibility.

You should be comfortable juggling multiple priorities, solving problems, communicating with customers and employees, making decisions, and taking ownership of the customer experience.

Our ideal candidate is hungry to learn, wants to grow, and sees themselves becoming a trusted leader within the business.

Why Join Bavarian Motor Repairs?

We take onboarding and employee development seriously. You'll enter an operation with established systems, processes, expectations, and training designed to help you understand exactly what success looks like.

You'll also have the opportunity to work closely with ownership and take meaningful responsibility for the daily operation of the business.

For the right person, this isn't just another Service Advisor job. It's an opportunity to become a key part of the operation and help take the business to the next level.
