The role:
You’ll be responsible for coordinating service bookings, communicating clearly with customers and the workshop team, and ensuring all administration is completed accurately and on time.

• Managing service bookings using a digital diary system
• Advising customers clearly and honestly on work required, including any additional recommendations identified during vehicle checks
• Keeping customers updated on progress throughout their visit
• Maintaining accurate and up-to-date customer records

• Handling payments in line with company procedures
• Coordinating courtesy vehicles, ensuring they are ready for customer use
• Liaising closely with the workshop team to monitor progress and resolve queries
• Supporting customer follow-up processes to maintain high satisfaction levels
• Building positive working relationships with customers, colleagues, suppliers, and external partners
About you:
• Friendly, approachable, and customer-focused
• Confident communicator with a professional manner
• Organised, reliable, and able to prioritise effectively
• Comfortable working both independently and as part of a team
• Proactive with a positive attitude and willingness to take ownership of the role
• Previous experience in a customer service or service advisor role would be beneficial, but not essential
