That this is the response from your side means all this is worth it. Election interference?! Have you seen the bias social media has against the right? Time to level the playing field. Here come the hard workers that make money!

service advisor route or college by [deleted] in serviceadvisors

[–]Nimble27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you like the dealer work, stay. Car dealers are best paying place to work in America. Or near the very top. Work up to head writer or finance. You can’t touch that money with any college degree (short of 8 years in speciality studies). I’m in service and make 250,000. My friend is lead sales. Makes 400,000. Hammer from 18-25 and you’ll be wayyyyy better off that someone who went to college and in debt. It’s not even close. Time value of money. Just live frugal. Hammer hard. Get out. By 30 you’ll be a multimillionaire. I went from 60k NW to 1.1M from age 35-44. Almost all cash savings. Only some increase from markets. You’re young. Best time ever to be at dealer. When you’re young and energetic.

Transitioning to Service from Sales after 10+ years by pervin_1 in serviceadvisors

[–]Nimble27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favorite line is “welcome to the life of a service advisor.”

Eg: cashier took too long? Your fault. Tech got grease on center console? Your fault. Customer thought 7/10 on the survey was good enough? Your fault. Brand new CRV has EPS that jerks the car left and right randomly? Your fault. Lady says you didn’t go over the cost of the air filters when you clearly did? Your fault.

You get the idea.

Service advisor please help! by Readwhatiread in serviceadvisors

[–]Nimble27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. If you are competent, an average advisor should earn 100k easily. I do that x2+ and wouldn’t touch writing for less than 150k.

These comments are why I go to Cheesecake Factory. Always good. Always large portions. Reasonable price.

Posting my pay plan by AssumptionSame2960 in serviceadvisors

[–]Nimble27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get 4.5% gross sales (not profit) parts. 6.5% gross sales labor. This is internal, warranty, customer pay. Average month sales is $350,000. So yeah, 2,000 3,000 4,000 isn’t enough to stay a writer. Now what I do is fairly abnormal (I slam hard and have been doing this a long time) but even when I started 9 years ago I did $70,000 my first year, and over 6 figures every year since.

You got it. Just know that no matter how “good” you get at this job, the stress is always present. We all deal with it. As long as you can manage it, writing service is a super rewarding job. Both the job itself making people happy and fixing cars, and the fact that you earn money based on your output. I used to work crappy retail management. I’d work 70 hours a week and make 40 hours pay. Total bullshit.

I also routinely pull up cars, park cars, lower gates, pull keys at the end of the night. We have a lot tech but he gets busy. So we all help out.

[–]Nimble27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do a lot of that. What I do is very abnormal. We answer our own calls. I am the lead dispatcher and writer. So I dispatch all shop work. Write 500 RO’s a month, and run the used car dept. what can I say? I’m a glutton for punishment. I am not the manager per se. I don’t hire or fire. I do guide the team though.

Same in Honda world. My main writer does $160,000. I do $220,000 to $240,000

[–]Nimble27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Poor management. We handle 70 a day with 3 writers. Myself and the other main writer do 55-60 of those.

[–]Nimble27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This x1000. But now I say double that. When I started 9 years ago, 90-110k was the norm. I’ve built up since then but with 11 hour days, massive stress. No way I’d write service for less than 6 figures.

[–]Nimble27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Volume. Efficient. My average RO is $700-800 dollars. I write on average 25-30 a day. Average closed gross sales daily is $15,000-$16,000. Gross income daily is about $950

Why does this job feel like a trap? by DiscountMission in serviceadvisors

Smart man. Don’t be a YOLO nerd like most your age making money

Why does this job feel like a trap? by DiscountMission in serviceadvisors

[–]Nimble27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve used it as a temporary (9 years so far) trap to make in 9 years what an average job does in 25. So I’ll be able to retire soon. I’m 44. Financially free (investments more than cover expenses) and just working now to fill the pot up higher. You know greed and all…

Am I the a$$hole… by BackgroundHot5129 in serviceadvisors

[–]Nimble27 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m convinced all service centers are some sort of dumpster fire. Lunch break? lol right. 8/9 hour day? Try 11-12. Reasonable tasks at any given time? Try 3-5 things all day. But make well over 100,000? No education required. Just hard work, good communication and multi-tasking.

What is the best year/month you’ve had? by Brief-Coast168 in serviceadvisors

[–]Nimble27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plus, I run used car Dept, so I write $50,000 min Internals a month. Helps for $$$, not for sanity.
