I’ve been in my position for a year at a GM dealer as a Service Advisor in nor cal and I’ve been able to get comfortable enough with the chaos to climb to the top of the leader boards consistently and handle some light admin stuff for new and used inventory while management is away or something. Suddenly (like within two weeks) the shop has lost 5 techs to what was previously a crew of 13 and everything is 3-4 days out. It’s terrible but I know it’s not all rainbows, hookers, blow and windfall so I’m wanting to solidify a side hustle with the resources I have. I see my self at this dealer long term and can only assume that there will be some big changes coming that will affect my bottom line.

Talking with the guy who trained me he jokes about running his own shop but I feel like that is way too much risk and can confidently say I don’t have enough management experience in the industry to take that big of a role. I don’t have the capital to start buying and selling fb market place finds but have been wanting to know what other advisors do with their skill set outside of the role of advising.

I was selling cars for about two years before making the change to service and have some retail management experience under my belt and with my schedule I have weekends dedicated to the hustle. I’ve been doing research on how to become an auto broker in CA and have raised the question of used car acquisition at my dealer and doing a ride along to goto auctions

Any insight is greatly appreciated!
