Sales Assistant/Parts Advisor
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our well-established team at Western Towing Exeter. We are looking for a new team member to primarily work in our showroom. The successful candidate will assist with the day to day running of our retail department and work closely alongside the busy workshop.
A knowledge of cars or knowledge of vehicle parts would be ideal but not essential.
At Western Towing we pride ourselves on delivering outstanding service to our customers. We are personal and professional in our approach and committed to ensuring that our knowledgeable and friendly staff continue to drive this service.
The successful applicant will primarily take on the following daily responsibilities:
- Serving customers in person, over the telephone and via email
- Checking our hire fleet in and out
- Checking in deliveries and putting stock away
- Maintaining a clean and tidy work environment
This role is so much more than completing a set of admin and retail duties. We are looking for a dynamic team player who takes pride in their work and enjoys actively contributing to our service. The ideal candidate would also have the following abilities.
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.
- Be motivated, have a positive personality, sense of humour and drive to be successful

- Be approachable and friendly as well as having a good telephone manner and level of written English.
- Be computer literate, our main stock control and invoicing is managed on Sage Accounts. Experience with this software could be an advantage but is not a necessity
- Be a team player. We are a small team that works closely together. Team members take pride in their roles and support others so that, ultimately, our customers receive the best service possible. It also makes a better place to work!
