Overview
We're looking for a Service Advisor to join an award-winning commercial vehicle specialist in Exeter. This is a proper customer-facing role – you'll be the link between customers and the workshop, managing bookings, updates, and repairs from first contact to handover. Our client is a multi-accredited employer with manufacturer training, genuine progression pathways, and a reputation for keeping good people.

If you've got motor industry service advisor experience and you know how to keep customers calm and informed, even when things go wrong, this is the one.

Key Responsibilities

Correctly capturing customer details and vehicle faults at the first point of contact

Taking telephone bookings and accurately loading them into the workshop system

Effective use of workshop loading to maximise capacity at all times

Raising job cards – ensuring all necessary and compliant documentation is in the job pack

Informing customers of their ongoing vehicle status throughout the repair

Entering additions and changes to the customer database

Handing over finished vehicles with a full explanation of repairs carried out

Monitoring whether repairs are being completed to the required delivery time

Actively selling after-sales services, including Service Contracts

Discussing and arranging payment with customers

Providing advice on warranties and service requirements

Explaining vehicle test requirements for legally required inspections

Arranging schedules for MOT and vehicle inspections

What You'll Need

Background in the same or similar Service Advisor role within the motor industry (essential)

Strong communication skills – you stay reassuring even in difficult situations

Ability to manage workshop loading and customer expectations at the same time

Attention to detail – first-time capture of faults and customer data is critical

Experience with dealership systems (preferred but not essential)

You'll be a great fit if you're organised, calm under pressure, and want a stable role with a nationally recognised, high-retention employer that invests in its people.

Think you might be a good fit?
If you've got motor industry service advisor experience and you know how to keep a workshop full and customers happy, there's manufacturer training, a clear shift pattern, and a team that's been around for years because it's a decent place to work.
