Service Advisor – High-Volume Dealership

Don Ayres Automotive Group
Fort Wayne, IN Full Time
POSTED ON 5/23/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/21/2026
$65,000 - $150,000 | Performance-Based Pay | Growth Opportunity

Our dealership services 150 vehicles per day, and we’re looking for someone who can thrive in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift constantly and problem-solving matters.

The Service Advisor is the primary point of contact for customers bringing their vehicles in for repair and/ or maintenance. The Service Advisor is responsible for greeting customers, addressing their vehicle issues, explaining necessary repairs and costs, communicating with technicians and ensuring timely service and delivery while maintaining customer satisfaction.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead the customer experience from vehicle drop-off to delivery
  • Investigate customer concerns and identify the right repair solutions
  • Build trust through clear, confident communication
  • Present repair recommendations and estimates
  • Coordinate with technicians to ensure efficient workflow and accurate diagnostics
  • Manage multiple repair orders and customer updates simultaneously
  • Handle unexpected issues, delays, and objections professionally
  • Help maintain workflow in a high-volume service drive


A Day in the Life

Your day starts early by reviewing appointments and preparing for a full service drive.

Once the doors open, the pace picks up quickly. Customers arrive back-to-back, technicians need updates, phones are ringing, and priorities shift throughout the day.

You may be:

  • Greeting a customer with a warning light concern
  • Updating another customer on repair progress
  • Reviewing technician findings
  • Explaining recommendations and pricing
  • Managing multiple repair orders at different stages


Success in this role requires:

  • Staying composed under pressure
  • Communicating clearly and confidently
  • Solving problems in real time
  • Managing interruptions without losing focus
  • Taking ownership instead of passing problems along


This environment is fast, demanding, and highly rewarding for someone who enjoys challenge, responsibility, and performance-driven income.
