Service Advisor

Vanhorn Automotive
01.2018 - 01.2021
  • As a service advisor I have gained a lot of knowledge in the customer service industry.
  • I have learned that putting the customer first is the main priority.
  • While being an advisor I checked in customers, performed walk arounds of the vehicle with the customer, updated them on the repair progress or reviewed with them an estimate for repairs.
  • I also checked customers out and went over the repair order with them to make sure they understand what repairs were made during their visit, and finally I followed up with them a couple days later to make sure everything was still working correctly.
  • Also as an advisor I dealt with contacting warranty companies to get repairs approved and submitted warranty tickets thru Chrysler.
