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.

  • Maintains composure and positivity under pressure
  • Takes ownership and follows through consistently
  • Brings energy, urgency, and professionalism to the team every day
