As a service advisor, you will be in charge of meeting with the clients to determine which repairs are required. Once discussed, you submit the required work orders to technicians and obtain the necessary components. Then your final job is to collect payment once the repairs are performed and checked by the clients.
Dealership service advisors are often paid solely on commission, which means they have a financial interest to persuade you to purchase the required repairs. Not all, but some car dealerships have a terrible image for exorbitant prices, typically due to the extra money spent on the service techs' competence.
