LEAD SERVICE ADVISOR Tier 1 Import
High
volume Import dealership in search of a Lead Advisor. Their search is for
an Advisor who can show production and CSI numbers along with job
stability and references that stand above the rest. This is a lead spot
with leadership qualities needed. Excellent dealership with a Tier 1 car
line. They are gaining market share and adding new service customers every
month. If your skill set is tops you can expect to make in the $70k and up
range.
SA10598 SALES CONSULTANT Premium Car Line
GSM
in search of a high quality individual to sell new and used vehicles in
this well established premium car dealership. They have a small sales
staff but one veteran sales person has had to leave due to health reasons. Family owned store with a history of stability. Great product
line with a whole new lineup either on the ground or coming soon. Income
range is up to $100k plus but that would take building a clientele over
time. Realistic compensation more in the $40k to $60 as you build a
following. For a new sales person with a good work ethic
the GSM is willing to work with a guarantee to get you established.

ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER
Solid
dealership looking to add a new level of Manager to their Service
Department. Due to their volume and success they need to add a true #2
person in the form of an Assistant Service Manager. This is not an Advisor
position, it's a management position. These types of positions are
"the road to Service Manager". Compensation will depend upon
prior experience, job stability and references. If you've been a top
Advisor or a Service Manager under a Fixed Ops Director and are
contemplating a change this is a good position to look at. It might be for
you.

Management Team. Your background will have to include job stability, solid service
sales skills, very good references from former Service Managers and a
history of high CSI Scores. Compensation will be in the $60k to $90k with
a solid benefit package as well. It's a nice work environment.

SERVICE ADVISOR
Dual
Import dealership needing to find another high producing Service Advisor
to match the one they have. The customer flow is there and you will have a
good team of high producing Techs to work with. The Fixed Operations
Director is a good person to work with. If you've got a handle on Service
Advising and know how to work within a fast paced Service Department this
is a position to take a look at. Great car lines too. Compensation in the
$60k and up range. A lot of it is up to you.
SA10831
SERVICE ADVISOR
Busy
Domestic dealership within a successful auto group ready to start looking
at resumes of good Service Advisors. The Service Manager isn't in a hurry
but will make a move when the right person is available. There is upward
mobility within this group to Service Manager but it's hard to say when
that opportunity will arise. They do have Managers in place that have been
promoted from within. Compensation at $60k and up. As a Service Advisor a
big part of compensation is your ability to move to the next customer or
pick up the phone when it is ringing. Those that have the ability to
multi-task push the pay plan up.
SA10824
WHOLESALE PARTS COUNTER
Local
Metro Market Import store in search of a sales oriented Wholesale parts
person. This isn't a counter / order taking position. Prior sales
experience is a plus. If you are a fairly new counterperson and want to
try the Wholesale side and have been in some type of sales in the past you
might want to interview for this position. Compensation in the $30k to
$36k range to start.
SA10813
PARTS COUNTER / PARTS MANAGER
Willamette
Valley dealership south of the Portland Metro Area looking for either a
top Parts Counterman (male / female) or a Parts Manager. They have two
green pea counterman and need an experienced person to add to the

tends to circumvent our business. Compensation depending on
experience.

opportunity. You will start out as an Advisor and Assistant Manager under
the Fixed Ops Director. It's all up to you after that. If you can follow
direction well, learn their way of conducting business and take the lead
on the floor the future is yours. It's a bit of a conservative pay plan

15 years and the Fixed Ops Director even longer. Compensation will be in the
$50k range to start.
SA10757
SERVICE ADVISOR INDEPENDENT SHOP Filled.

guy. Compensation is in the $45k to $55k range.
