This position is ideal for someone who understands the heavy-duty truck repair industry, communicates well with both customers and technicians, and can confidently manage repair orders from initial write-up through completion.

• Coordinate with technicians, parts personnel, and management to keep repairs moving efficiently.
• Prioritize work based on customer needs, vehicle downtime, parts availability, and shop capacity.
• Review completed repair orders for accuracy before closing them out.
• Maintain accurate notes, approvals, documentation, and customer communication within the repair order.
• Assist with scheduling incoming repairs and managing the daily workflow of the shop.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with fleet customers, drivers, vendors, and other customers.
• Help resolve customer concerns professionally and efficiently.
• Identify additional repair and maintenance opportunities based on technician findings without recommending unnecessary work.
• Support the service team with other duties as needed.

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate will have:

• Ability to work effectively with technicians, parts personnel, management, drivers, and fleet customers.
• A professional, dependable, and team-oriented attitude.

What Makes Someone Successful in This Role

A successful Service Advisor at Kerry Brothers understands that communication is just as important as the repair itself. Our customers depend on their trucks to operate their businesses, so keeping them informed and helping minimize downtime is a major part of the job.

We're looking for someone who can take ownership of a repair order, communicate confidently with customers, work closely with technicians and parts, and help move jobs through the shop efficiently.
