    Toyota of Olympia | Tumwater, WA

    Toyota of Olympia is looking for an experienced, professional, customer-focused Service Advisor to join our high-performing service team.

    We are not simply looking for someone who can write repair orders — we are looking for a true relationship-builder. Someone who understands how to create trust with customers, communicate effectively, manage a fast-paced workload, and consistently deliver an exceptional service experience while driving results.

    Our ideal candidate is confident, organized, professional under pressure, and genuinely enjoys taking care of people. This is a role for someone who takes pride in both customer satisfaction and performance.

    What You’ll Do

    • Keep customers informed on timelines, approvals, and vehicle status updates
    • Review completed repairs and invoices with customers at vehicle delivery
    • Build long-term customer relationships through exceptional service and follow-through
    • Maintain strong CSI performance and customer retention
    • Help manage workflow efficiently while maintaining accuracy and professionalism
    • Handle customer concerns calmly and professionally while working toward positive resolution

    • Communicates confidently and professionally
    • Builds trust naturally with customers
    • Understands the balance between customer advocacy and dealership profitability
    • Maintains composure and positivity under pressure
    • Takes ownership and follows through consistently
    • Brings energy, urgency, and professionalism to the team every day
    • Wants to build long-term relationships with both customers and coworkers

    We are looking for someone who wants a long-term home — not just their next job.
