The Service Consultant will also be tasked with promoting and selling labor, parts, and accessories aligned with customer needs, providing accurate estimates, and ensuring timely completion of service orders.

Customer satisfaction is paramount; therefore, the Service Consultant is expected to continuously monitor repair progress, communicate status updates, and resolve any customer concerns either independently or by seeking managerial assistance.

Maintaining a clean and orderly workspace along with the customer areas in the service department is part of the job to uphold the dealership standards.

The position requires maintaining certifications, participating in continuing education, and complying with dealership policies on professional conduct and appearance. The Service Consultant must foster positive work relationships and uphold the image of Warren Henry both on and off the dealership premises.
