Job Description

There are very few Customer Service apprenticeships in the motor industry and the BMW programme is regarded as being the leader in delivering the ultimate customer experience.



You will be working in a busy BMW/MINI Service Department. Your role will be focused on dealing with customers, who have high expectations and a varied range of needs and demands. As a result, you need to have exceptional interpersonal skills and be able to build rapport, as well as a desire to provide the highest level of customer service.



This combined with excellent organisational and communication skills will enable you to deliver outstanding customer service, representing the high standards and reputation of the BMW/MINI brand.



Service Advisor specific duties include:




  • Working face-to-face with customers within the Retailer

  • Handling calls to the Retailer, including booking and scheduling vehicle services and repairs

  • Estimating time and costs associated with vehicle services and repairs

  • Handling and responding to customer complaints

  • Being involved with interpreting initial customer concerns and liaising with the vehicle technicians

  • Liaising with customers and keeping them updated of any additional work that may be required

  • Tracking customer vehicles through the workshop during service and repair

  • Advising customers on how to solve problems with their vehicles



All Aftersales Customer Service (Service Advisor) Apprentices attend the BMW Group Academy UK in Berkshire for their off-the-job training.



The apprenticeship will have a strong focus on the retail environment and the high customer service expectations of BMW & MINI customers, as well as Service Advisor specific training.



The training takes place over a 1 year period at the BMW Group Academy and has been designed to suit both Parts and Service Advisor roles.



During the time spent at your BMW Retailer, a mentor will be allocated to oversee the work-based learning programme. A BMW representative will also visit on a 12 weekly basis to set performance targets and ensure any development needs are being met.

Skills Required :

Following this, there are various opportunities for progression within the Retailer.
