Steele Ford Lincoln is seeking a Service Advisor Team Lead to join our team!

Lead the Front Line of Customer Experience at Steele Ford Lincoln

At Steele Ford Lincoln, we're looking for more than an experienced service advisor; we're searching for a leader who is ready to elevate an already high-performing team. If you've mastered the advisor role, enjoy coaching others, thrive on delivering exceptional customer experiences, and are ready to influence the success of an entire department, this is your opportunity to take the next step in your leadership career.

As our Service Advisor Team Lead, you'll continue serving customers while mentoring and supporting the team that delivers one of the most important experiences in our dealership.

Competitive Compensation – Base salary plus a performance-based bonus structure that rewards your achievements.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is more than a service advisor position.

It's an opportunity to:

• Lead and coach a talented customer-facing service team.
• Work alongside an experienced Service Manager and dealership leadership.
• Influence department performance and customer satisfaction.
• Build your leadership skills while continuing to grow your automotive career.
• Play a key role in one of Atlantic Canada's leading Ford and Lincoln dealerships.

What You'll Do

As our Service Advisor Team Lead, you'll combine hands-on customer service with leadership responsibilities that help drive the department forward.

You'll:

• Deliver exceptional service experiences while managing your own customer portfolio.
• Coach and mentor Service Advisors, Valets, Dispatch, Warranty, Lincoln Concierge, and Service Videography teams.
• Champion Ford's "Fix It Right the First Time" philosophy.
• Help maintain industry-leading Customer Experience (CSI/CXI) performance.
• Monitor key service department KPIs and identify coaching opportunities.
• Support advisor development through ongoing feedback and training.
• Collaborate with Parts, Warranty, Dispatch, and Technician teams to ensure seamless operations.
• Assist with scheduling, workflow optimization, and improving overall shop efficiency.
• Help grow fleet and commercial service relationships.
• Foster a culture built on accountability, teamwork, professionalism, and continuous improvement.

Who We're Looking For

You're someone who naturally earns the respect of your peers and enjoys helping others succeed.

You'll be successful if you have:

• 3–5 years of dealership Service Advisor experience.
• Leadership, mentoring, coaching, or supervisory experience (preferred).
• A passion for delivering exceptional customer experiences.
• Strong knowledge of dealership fixed operations.
• Experience working with dealership management systems such as PBS.
• Excellent communication and conflict resolution skills.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• A continuous improvement mindset and desire to help others grow.

Ford or Lincoln dealership experience is considered a strong asset.

What Success Looks Like

In this role, success isn't measured by individual performance alone.

It's reflected in:

• Industry-leading customer satisfaction scores.
• A confident, engaged, and high-performing advisor team.
• Strong departmental productivity and efficiency.
• Improved advisor development and coaching.
• Operational excellence across the service department.
• Customers who trust Steele Ford Lincoln with every visit.
