By ensuring warranty coverage is always confirmed on each vehicle that enters the service department, advisors may avoid rejects once the claim has been submitted to the factory. It is recommended that the advisor perform a vehicle information report on all vehicles that enter the service department. The few moments it takes to perform this report will cost much less than audit charge backs you may receive for making goodwill adjustments after the fact by applying an authorization code and resubmitting the claim.


Once warranty coverage has been determined, the service advisor may now write the repair order. They begin by making a line-by-line analysis of who is covering each repair. If the responsibility cannot be readily determined, the line should be coded as customer pay until further notice. If the technician determines the repair should be warranty, they notify service management, and the responsibility is changed. The same is true if the technician finds a warranty-coded repair that the customer should be responsible for.

A diagnostic worksheet may be used to assist the service advisor in capturing a description of the customer concern. Technicians find these very helpful in completing repairs with more quality and efficiency. The worksheets are also helpful in reducing shop comebacks and in turn, aiding in customer loyalty.


Next, the service advisor must obtain the customer signature, which authorizes the dealer to perform the requested service. If the customer drops the vehicle off as an early bird repair, attach the envelope to the repair order hard copy. If the customer leaves a list of concerns, attach that as well. The service manager is to sign and state the reason for service customers that you are unable to obtain a signature for. The customer may sign the invoice copy in the instance that their vehicle was towed in, dropped off or picked up.


Any customer concern that is added on after initial repair order write up must be identified and entered on the repair order as an added operation. If service advisors are responsible for adding additional lines, they must be familiar with the factory add-on repair policy. All added operations should be verified and approved by a service management signature on the repair order prior to the work being performed and include the specific reason for the additional repair.


Finally, the service advisor should be aware of courtesy transportation options. The two primary purposes of a rental vehicle given to a customer is for an overnight repair or if the vehicle is inoperative or unsafe to drive. The advisor may explain the rental policy and if needed, offer the customer shuttle service. The reason for courtesy transportation, the type provided, dates, times and driver information may be documented on the repair order. If the customer is not pleased with these options you may want to offer vehicle delivery.


Customers often see service advisors as the official representative of the dealership and the factory. A advisor that is properly educated in warranty procedures will be greatly beneficial to the dealership.


Whenever we give a key performance indicator or a benchmark, it's the budget. Depending on brand (domestic, importer, or luxury), the range is typically between 12-14% of labor gross profit for service advisors.


Consider the time and training you invest into every service advisor. A proper pay-plan paired with training and education can not only boost retention, but increase overall performance and job quality.


Based on benchmark reporting, a typical service advisor generates roughly $49,000 per month in labor gross profit, which does not even account for the associated parts gross profit which is usually around half of the labor gross amount ($24,500). When you consider how much this contributes to the bottom line, how much time and training are you investing in your service advisors? Are you doing your best to set them up for success?






How much time do you spend training? Most people would say they do daily training with their sales teams, but how much time do we invest into training service advisors? The fact is that most of all face-to-face interactions between an advisor and a customer are going to result in some type of transaction. Whether that's warranty, customer-pay, or internal. Would some sales and process training improve the quality of those transactions that are taking place in the service drive? Would this also increase customer satisfaction and influence increased retention? Of course it would.


If you have a resource in your dealership that could go back and spend some time with your advisors weekly, if not daily, on some simple sales training, this is a great place to start. Providing training opportunities leads to service advisors becoming more comfortable in selling situations and general customer interactions.


If you need some outside help with advisor training, NCMi does offer a Service Advisor Training Program, complete with two in-depth courses aligned 100% with our management training philosophy. This includes a road-to-sale proven process and industry best practice guides.


Operating an automotive organization, no matter the size is a challenge. Aside from finding the right employees, you need to maximize every opportunity with every customer. Whether these customers visit your business for service, parts, or sales, you need to make sure they come back time and time again.


Over the past five years, the exempt status of service advisors has been in constant flux. However, a dealership represented by attorneys from the Fisher Phillips Automotive Dealership Practice Group convinced the U.S. Supreme Court in early April to put the matter to bed once and for all, winning the case that confirms service advisors are not entitled to overtime premium pay under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).


Employees variously described as service writers, service advisors, service managers, or service salesmen whose primary duty is to record the condition of a vehicle and write up a report indicating the parts and mechanical work needed have been construed as within the exemption in Sec. 13 (b)(10)(A) by two appellate courts (5th and 6th Circuits) and two district courts (in the 8th and 10th Circuits). Consequently, WH will no longer deny the OT exemption for such employees. (USDOL Field Operations Handbook,  24L04(k) Insert # 1757 (October 20, 1987))


That may not, however, be the end of the story as it pertains to your dealership. While service advisors are exempt from overtime under federal law, several states have laws or regulations that impose additional overtime exemption requirements. You should therefore consult with legal counsel to confirm that you are complying with any existing state or local requirements applicable to the location of your dealership.


Additionally, federal law only exempts service advisors from overtime premium pay. You are still required to pay your service advisors at least the state or federal minimum wage, whichever is higher, for all hours worked, and they must keep an accurate record of their hours worked, preferably by clocking in and out when they begin and end work each day.


The BMW Service Advisor is the first line of communication with the customers during their visits to the workshop. Service Advisors play a key role in ensuring customer satisfaction through the life of a vehicle, and they know that customers? time is valuable. They strive to ensure all service visits run smoothly and that all customers concerns are addressed and rectified. The Service Advisor also educates customers on some of the new and innovative accessories available to retrofit and upgrade customer vehicles.


Automotive service advisors are professionals who act as the liaison between customers and the auto technicians who work on their vehicle. They identify the need for, sell and schedule service work. When taking your car in for a repair, this is often the first person you will come in contact with.


Most service advisors will tell you that no two days on the job are the same. They complete a wide variety of tasks, from welcoming and assisting customers to managing quotes to working with technicians throughout the repair process.


Additionally, having automotive knowledge plays a big role in the credibility service advisors have with their customers. If a service advisor is confident in their automotive knowledge, this will put the customer at ease knowing their vehicle is in good hands. However, if the service advisor seems unsure and lacks knowledge, this will lead the customer to question whether or not the repair will be completed correctly.


Good listening skills are essential to being a good service advisor. In addition to listening to customer concerns when first bringing in their car, they must be available and willing to listen throughout the repair process as well as after the repair is complete.




Service advisors who are good at what they do always make their customers feel valued and heard. If customers have questions at any point in the process, they are there to help. Service advisors understand the importance of the customer relationship, which is why they go above and beyond to ensure their needs are met. 




The environment service advisors work in is often very fast-paced, which requires them to have great time management skills. Between setting up service appointments, meeting with customers, writing repair orders and working with technicians, among other responsibilities, the schedule of a service advisor fills up quickly. 




In order to keep up and do their job well, service advisors must be organized and use their time wisely. They oversee many different repairs at one time, which requires them to be able to prioritize tasks and delegate when necessary.


3) Approximately 8,000 of the 8,400 UTI graduates in 2019 were available for employment. At the time of reporting, approximately 6,700 were employed within one year of their graduation date, for a total of 84%. This rate excludes graduates not available for employment because of continuing education, military service, health, incarceration, death or international student status. The rate includes graduates who completed manufacturer-specific advanced training programs and those employed in positions that were obtained before or during their UTI education, where the primary job duties after graduation align with the educational and training objectives of the program. UTI is an educational institution and cannot guarantee employment or salary.
