Service Advisor
Full-Time | Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM-5:00 PM | On-Site in Holland, Michigan
Position Overview
The ideal candidate is a master of multitasking who thrives in a fast-paced environment, can confidently manage many moving parts at once, and knows how to work effectively with a wide range of personalities. At Merchant Automotive, this role is more than coordinating service. It is about owning the customer experience from the first conversation through the completion of the job.
This individual serves as a key connection between our customers, technicians, and internal teams. They listen to and understand customer needs, provide knowledgeable service recommendations, coordinate the repair and service workflow, anticipate potential issues, and make sure everyone involved has the information they need to keep the job moving forward.
Strong communication is essential. Customers should never be left wondering what is happening with their vehicle, and technicians should not have to chase down the information they need to do their jobs successfully. This person is expected to provide clear, timely, and consistent communication, manage expectations, solve problems, and follow through on commitments.
Success in this position requires someone who can shift priorities without losing focus, remain positive when things do not go according to plan, and effectively navigate the different personalities and communication styles that come with working with customers and a diverse team.
Most importantly, this person takes personal accountability for the customer experience. They don't simply pass information from one person to another. They take ownership, look for solutions, support the team, and continually look for ways to improve the service process.
This role has a direct impact on customer loyalty, technician productivity, department performance, and the overall success of Merchant Automotive. Our customers may come to us because of our reputation and expertise, but the experience we provide is what makes them want to come back.
That is Customer Care. That is the MA Way.

- At least three years of experience as a service advisor or in a similar automotive or diesel-service position
- At least one year of diesel-industry experience
