Cheltenham | £28,000 Basic Salary | £33,000 OTE
We're looking for an experienced Service Advisor to join an established automotive dealership in Cheltenham.
You'll be at the centre of the customer journey, working closely with the workshop to keep vehicles moving, customers informed and expectations managed from the moment a vehicle is booked in through to collection.
If you know your way around a busy aftersales department, enjoy working with people and take pride in getting the details right, we'd like to talk.
The opportunity
This is a customer-facing role with plenty of variety. You'll be managing several vehicles and customer conversations throughout the day, balancing customer expectations with workshop capacity and making sure everyone knows what's happening.
You'll Be Responsible For
- Booking vehicles into the workshop and understanding exactly what the customer needs
- Preparing accurate job cards and making sure the right information is captured from the outset
- Liaising closely with Technicians, Workshop Controllers and the wider aftersales team
- Providing clear estimates and explaining recommended work in a way customers can understand
- Keeping customers updated throughout the repair and servicing process
- Discussing additional work and obtaining customer authorisation where required
- Explaining technical information without unnecessary jargon
- Advising customers on servicing, maintenance and future requirements
- Managing queries and resolving issues calmly and professionally
- Making sure vehicles are ready for collection and the handover is smooth
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.
What we're looking for

You'll need to be confident with customers, commercially aware and organised enough to keep control when the workshop gets busy.

- Previous experience as a Service Advisor within an automotive dealership
- A good understanding of workshop and aftersales operations
- Excellent communication skills, both face-to-face and over the phone
- Confidence discussing recommended and additional work with customers
- Strong organisation and attention to detail
- The ability to manage competing priorities without losing sight of the customer
- A proactive approach to problem solving
- A positive, professional and team-focused attitude
- A full UK driving licence
