Virginia Beach, VA Overview Simple Details is a premier automotive protection and performance studio serving some of the most discerning vehicle owners in and outside of the state of Virginia. Our work spans paint protection film, ceramic coatings, professional detailing, window tinting, and performance modifications — and every client who walks through our doors expects an experience that matches the caliber of the vehicles we touch. The Group Service Advisor is the connective hub of the entire client experience. This is not a front-desk role and it is not a traditional sales position. It is a consultative leadership role responsible for managing every client relationship from first contact through final delivery — across our aesthetic services division (Detailing and PPF) and our performance upgrades and automotive maintenance department. You will serve as the primary point of contact for our clientele, conducting professional vehicle consultations, generating accurate estimates, coordinating production schedules with department leads, and ensuring that every client interaction reflects the standard Simple Details is known for. You are the bridge between our clients and our technicians — keeping the shop floor focused on execution while you own the relationship. This role requires someone who understands both the language of premium automotive services and the operations of a high-performance shop. You must be equally comfortable discussing PPF film thickness, identifying additional undisclosed client needs during a detailing intake, and coordinating parts timelines for a performance build. Core Responsibilites Consultative Sales & Client Intake Conduct professional vehicle walk-arounds and in-person consultations for all prospective and returning clients Accurately assess client needs and recommend the appropriate combination of services across detailing, PPF, coatings, and performance upgrades Set clear, realistic expectations for project timelines, scope, and outcomes — without overpromising Present estimates confidently and consultatively — explaining value, not just price Maintain a documented pipeline of active estimates and follow up systematically to close open quotes Identify and pursue cross-department upsell opportunities (e.g., performance and automotive maintenance needs during detailing intakes; detailing add-ons during performance consultations) Production Coordination Serve as the scheduling interface between incoming client work and the production floor — no job enters production without confirmed capacity and a documented intake Coordinate with department leads across PPF, Detailing, and Performance to align client commitments with real production timelines Track job status throughout production and proactively communicate updates to clients before they have to ask Manage parts sourcing and tracking for performance builds to ensure components arrive on schedule and do not delay production Client Communication & Relationship Management Own all client communication from intake through final delivery — status updates, approvals, change orders, and vehicle handover Handle client concerns and escalations with professionalism and calm resolution; know when to resolve independently and when to involve leadership Conduct final vehicle presentations at delivery with the same attention to detail as the initial consultation Maintain client records and follow-up cadences to support repeat business and referrals Revenue & Operational Performance Meet or exceed monthly revenue targets across managed service categories Track and report on key metrics: close rate, average job value, upsell attachment rate, and client satisfaction Identify trends in client requests or objections and communicate them to leadership to inform service development and pricing strategy Expected Results(KPIS)
