What service advisor jobs are listed

• Express-lane service advisors
• Internal advisors (used-car recon, wholesale)

What dealers look for in service advisors
Strong service advisors share a few common traits, and dealers tend to filter for them:
• Demonstrated CSI performance
• Multi-line write-up experience and comfort with menu selling
• DMS fluency (CDK, Reynolds & Reynolds, Dealertrack, Tekion, or others)
• Clear, calm customer communication
• Comfort presenting recommended services without alienating customers
• Schedule flexibility, including weekend rotation
What to highlight on your advisor profile
Service managers reading your profile want to know quickly:
• Stores and brands you've written for
• Your DMS experience
• Your average ROs per day and gross-per-RO if you have it
• Your CSI track record
• Your pay-structure preferences (salary plus commission, all-commission, hourly plus bonus)
Be direct. A factual profile beats a polished one.
How service advisor pay typically works
Most dealership advisor roles use a base salary plus commission on labor and parts gross, sometimes with bonuses tied to CSI or to specific menu services. On My Dealer Roster, listings disclose the pay structure and, when the dealer publishes them, realistic pay ranges so you can compare offers fairly.
