Service Advisor

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

As a Service Advisor, you'll play a key role in creating exceptional experiences for our service and vehicle repair customers.

We’re looking for an articulate, warm communicator who can give our customers the star treatment – whether it’s first thing on a manic Monday or last thing on a Friday afternoon.

If you have experience in customer service and take pride in going above and beyond to leave a lasting, positive impression, this could be the perfect role for you!

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Supporting Customers: You'll be the friendly face that helps customers with their service and repair needs, ensuring everything is handled professionally and efficiently.
  • Coordinating Repairs: Work closely with our workshop team to ensure vehicles move smoothly through the repair process.
  • Managing the Details: Keep on top of computer-based jobs, purchasing, and invoicing while protecting the interests of both our customers and the company.
  • Providing Clear Solutions: If there are any faults or repairs needed, you'll explain them to customers in a way that's easy to understand and offer clear, practical solutions.
  • Keeping Records Spotless: Accurately maintain customer and vehicle details, including service histories.
  • Upselling with Care: Use your knowledge of our aftersales products and services to recommend the right options to our customers when appropriate.
  • Staying Organised: Keep the customer database updated and always ready for action!

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
