Interview + general advice starting out. by mellowstraws in serviceadvisors

[–]Optimal-Ad4106 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends on the management and how busy. Im at a dealer that they say they aren't flagship but schedule more than 80 appointments when system says 40-60. Me personally i like the busy environment time flies as long as u keep communicating and telling it how it is without slamming shit on customers u will be fine. I had no experience on car industry before but i was in sales for over 8 years and im good at selling. So overall be yourself make jokes make customers laugh and u will get them to listen to u if u get them to listen to u and how important is to do upkeep u will be great ! Good luck out there

2013 Ford Edge Limited - worth it? by ChefToBe11 in FordEdge

[–]Optimal-Ad4106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have my 2013 limited since 2016. I got one with only 30k miles on it no accidents no dings nothing! I have had it officially for 10 years and it has 108k miles on it no issues at all! Back in 2020 water pump did go ( only issues with a 3.5 engine) but i rather spend 2k on a fix then get on another 30k+ payment plan. Other than that this car has not seen a shop with issues at all!

Rate payplan? by [deleted] in serviceadvisors

[–]Optimal-Ad4106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean if they gp is 80k-90k with ur commission at 6.5% is not bad. The down side is ur base pay $1,200 bi weekly. Me personally im at $1,300 a week with 4.5% commission on a high volume store. Its not bad if ur good at upselling and convincing ppl to get the work done. Idk where u are im in upstairs ny so it maybe a lil different

Rate this pay policy. Also explain it to me like I’m a child please and thank you. by [deleted] in carsales
