No Weekends | $55,000-$135,000+ | High-Performance Shop | Columbus, OH

Milex Complete Auto Care - Mr. Transmission | 2233 Morse Rd, Columbus, OH

We are hiring ONE high-performing Service Advisor to lead our front counter.

If you know how to build trust quickly, stay organized under pressure, and convert opportunities into approved work - this is a high-respect, high-income role.

This is not a receptionist position.
This is a performance-driven leadership role at the front of the shop

What You'll Be Responsible For

You will help lead the customer experience and performance of the shop by:

  • Greeting customers and setting the tone for a professional experience
  • Answering calls and converting them into scheduled opportunities
  • Performing proper fact-finding and building trust with customers
  • Presenting digital inspection results clearly and confidently
  • Turning recommended work into approved work through honest communication
  • Managing workflow between customers, technicians, and management
  • Writing accurate estimates and following up on pending work
  • Keeping customers informed so nothing falls through the cracks
  • Helping maintain a smooth, organized, and profitable daily operation

This role combines:

Sales + Customer Experience + Operational Control

How You'll Be Measured (and Paid Like It)

This is a performance-based role, and top performers will earn accordingly.

You will be measured on:

  • Revenue contribution
  • Average Repair Order (ARO)
  • Estimate approval / close rate
  • Phone-to-appointment conversion
  • Organization, communication, and follow-up

If you know how to produce - you will be rewarded for it.

What We're Looking For

You may be a strong fit if you are:

  • Confident, professional, and composed under pressure
  • Strong on the phone and in person
  • Organized and detail-oriented
  • Skilled at building trust quickly
  • Able to communicate effectively with both customers and technicians
  • Comfortable presenting and closing needed work without pressure tactics
  • Driven by performance, accountability, and doing things right

Preferred Experience

  • Automotive service advisor experience
  • Auto repair shop experience
  • Front counter / service writing experience
  • Digital inspection / estimate presentation
  • CRM or shop management software

This Role Is NOT For Someone Who

  • avoids sales or uncomfortable conversations
  • struggles with follow-up or organization
  • gets overwhelmed when it gets busy
  • creates drama or blames others
  • wants to clock in and coast

We are building a team of professionals - not placeholders.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Base pay + performance incentives / commission
  • $55,000-$135,000+ earning potential
  • Paid holidays + PTO
  • Benefits available (health, dental, vision, etc.)
  • Employee discounts
  • No weekends

Why Milex Complete Auto Care - Mr. Transmission?

We're not a high-pressure sales shop.

We focus on:

  • thorough inspections
  • clear communication
  • honest recommendations
  • and long-term customer relationships

We believe:

The best advisors don't "sell" - they educate, guide, and earn trust

If that's how you operate, you'll fit here.

How to Apply

We are hiring ONE person for this role.

Apply now or text Matt at 425-623-0414

When you apply, answer this:

"Why would you be a rock star at the front counter?"

Compensation: $90,000.00 - $135,000.00 per year
