About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever wondered what it’s like to help people find exactly what they need—whether it’s a quick oil change or a complete overhaul—while working right in the heart of a busy garage? We’re on the lookout for a motivated Sales Employee who isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and connect with car owners, all while helping our garage grow. If you love talking shop (literally!) and get a buzz from great customer interactions, this is your cue.
About the Company
We’re a well-established garage that’s earned a reputation for fixing more than just cars—we fix days, too (no one likes being off the road, right?). Our team mixes seasoned mechanics with customer-focused staff, and we genuinely believe that friendly service is just as important as technical know-how. These days you’ll find us swapping weekend car stories or sharing the best local lunch spots. We move fast, support each other, and never forget to celebrate a job well done—usually with coffee, sometimes with cake.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Greeting customers with a genuine smile, listening to their needs, and recommending the right garage services.
- Following up with clients about ongoing jobs, updates, and promotions—no pushy sales tactics, just honest advice.
- Collaborating daily with our mechanics to understand what’s happening on the shop floor so you can communicate clearly with customers.
- Maintaining accurate records of transactions and service bookings in our digital system (it’s user-friendly, we promise).
- Helping market our garage offerings—think about simple campaigns, WhatsApp follow-ups, or even arranging an open-house event.
- Actively seeking out new customer leads and building strong, long-term relationships within the local community.
- Taking part in occasional team training sessions and brainstorming ways to improve our services.

- Proven experience in sales, especially where you’re face-to-face with customers.
