Car Sales Executive
At Wessex Garages, we’ve been putting customers first and delivering excellence in automotive retail for over 35 years. With dealerships across South Wales and the South West of England, we proudly represent leading manufacturers including Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, GWM, and Mitsubishi. For these leading brands, we supply new and used cars and vans, deliver after sales support, and champion the Motability Scheme.
We’re proud to offer our customers and colleagues an experience built on Knowledge, Value, Transparency, and Trust — values that are at the heart of everything we do.
About The Role
Wessex Garages are currently looking to recruit Car Sales Advisors for our dealership in Penarth Road, Cardiff. You will not only be responsible for selling vehicles but will also be selling and promoting Finance, Insurance products, and Paint Protection.
In this role, you will support our customers through every step of their buying journey—from their first interaction with us to the moment they drive away in their new car. With our comprehensive training and development programme, you’ll gain the skills to engage with customers, identify their needs, and sell vehicles and related products in line with industry standards.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
