Aftersales

Service Advisor Training

Service advisor training develops the people at the service reception — the way they greet customers, identify needs, explain work and price, gain repair approval, keep customers informed and handle complaints. AutomotiveTrainings.com delivers service advisor training worldwide for OEMs, importers, distributors, dealer groups and automotive academies.

Global delivery

Delivered worldwide — on site at dealerships, academies and training centres, live online, or as a blended programme. Programmes can be run in a single market or rolled out across multiple countries through one commercial relationship.
