Description
Bay Ridge Honda is looking for an experienced, hands-on Automotive Service Sales Manager to lead and develop our service advisor team.
This is not a position for someone who wants to manage from an office. We need a strong leader who can stay involved in the daily operation, hold advisors accountable, communicate with customers, and make sure every opportunity receives the proper follow-up.
Responsibilities:
- Oversee, coach, and support the service advisor team.
- Monitor open repair orders, customer updates, and advisor follow-up.
- Contact customers regarding declined and previously recommended work.
- Help advisors present repairs and maintenance clearly and confidently.
- Handle escalated customer concerns and resolve issues professionally.
- Follow up with technicians and managers to keep repairs moving.
- Ensure customers receive accurate updates and realistic completion times.
- Track advisor performance, sales, gross profit, CSI, and other key metrics.
- Review inspections and repair recommendations for missed opportunities.
- Promote available payment options when appropriate.
- Maintain accountability for appointments, workflow, callbacks, and customer communication.
- Help create a consistent process from customer arrival through vehicle pickup.
- Build a culture focused on hospitality, teamwork, urgency, and results.
What We Are Looking For:
- Automotive service advisor or service management experience.
- Strong sales, leadership, and customer service skills.
- Proven ability to sell maintenance and repair recommendations.
- Ability to coach advisors and hold the team accountable.
- Strong follow-up and organizational skills.
- Comfortable handling difficult customer situations.
- Ability to communicate effectively with advisors, technicians, and management.
- Experience with dealership management systems, preferably Reynolds and Reynolds.
- A hands-on leadership style and a strong sense of urgency.
- Someone who understands that customer experience and profitability must work together.
