Automotive Service Writer Jobs in California

An Automotive Service Writer acts as a communication link between customers and the repair team in the automobile industry. They play a pivotal role in understanding the mechanical problems with a vehicle, relaying this information to the technicians, and then explaining the required repair work to the customers. Their responsibilities also include preparing cost estimates and scheduling repair work. They must have a thorough understanding of automotive systems and parts, along with excellent customer service skills, as they frequently interact with customers.

Prior to becoming an Automotive Service Writer, a person may have worked as an automotive technician, a customer service representative in an auto parts store, or a service advisor in a car dealership. These roles provide the technical knowledge and customer service experience necessary to succeed as an Automotive Service Writer.
