Automotive service manager with fifteen years in dealership and independent service operations in Detroit, the last six running a 12-bay service department. Leads a team of service advisors and technicians, owns the department's revenue, throughput and customer-satisfaction scores, and keeps the bays productive. Lifted the department's CSI (customer-satisfaction index) score above the regional benchmark while growing service revenue through honest upsell and faster turnaround. Manages warranty claims, parts coordination, scheduling and technician productivity, and steps in to defuse the difficult customer conversations. Hands-on enough to understand any repair and commercial enough to run the P&L. Looking for a service-manager role with a dealer or group that values both customers and a profitable shop.
