Assistant Service Advisors:

Ever go home more drained from holding everyone together than from anything you actually did? You calmed the angry customer down. You smoothed things over with a tech who was already fried. You explained the same repair for the third time today, careful not to make anyone feel stupid. And at the end of it all, you're still just "the assistant." Maybe your shop tells you you're valuable. But nobody's actually building you into anything... No mentorship. No real path forward. Just more of the same, dressed up as opportunity. At Wheatland Repair , that changes. Here you're mentored , not just managed, by an advisor and an owner who actually want to see you run the desk someday. Your voice matters in how repair orders get built and how customers get talked to, not just how fast you can type them up. You're never stuck playing peacemaker between techs who think you don't get it and customers who think you're just selling them. Trust is the standard here, not the exception... you're taught to build value through honesty, never pressure. When a customer's wrong, you're backed. Not thrown under the bus to keep the peace. And there's an actual next step waiting for you here. Not just "assistant" forever. Wheatland has spent the last 6+ years earning a reputation as the most trusted shop in Lincoln County. A 4.9-star rating doesn't happen by accident... It happens because the person at the front counter is trained right, backed by ownership, and never asked to trade honesty for a sale. Owned and run by Marcus Tanninen, a Master Tech with nearly 30 years turning wrenches himself, Wheatland was built to be different from the shops that chew up good advisors and never actually develop them. So, if you're ready to stop holding the front counter together and start being the one who runs it... keep reading. ✅

ABOUT WHEATLAND REPAIR

Wheatland Repair has been serving Davenport, WA since 2019. Founded by Master Technician Marcus Tanninen, who's spent nearly 30 years in the bay, we built this shop around a simple idea: people before profit. That's earned us a 4.9-star reputation as the most trusted shop in Lincoln County... not because we chase numbers, but because we do right by the people in front of us, customers and teammates alike. We're growing, and we're looking for the right person to grow with us.

SKILLS AND TRAITS THAT HELP YOU SHINE IN THIS ROLE

You communicate clearly and calmly, even when a customer's frustrated or a repair gets complicated You're honest first, persuasive second ... you'd rather earn trust than force a sale You stay organized under pressure , juggling repair orders, scheduling, and parts without dropping the ball You genuinely enjoy learning the technical side , so you can translate it accurately between techs and customers You take ownership of a problem instead of just passing it along You represent this shop with integrity , whether Marcus is standing next to you or not NOW… If you're someone who sees "sales" as a dirty word unless it's built on trust, and you'd rather under-promise and over-deliver than talk someone into something they don't need, you'll fit right in here. HOWEVER… If you're looking for a fast-talking, high-pressure sales floor... this isn't it.
