Testimonials

Jessica Jaggard - Vale Automotive

As a service advisor who has been been front of house (garage) for nearly 2 years but came from no previous motor trade experience, I have really enjoyed this training course.

The course enabled me to confidently identify the skills and knowledge I use daily when using Garage Hive as a service advisor and helped provide the perfect tips and tricks, making/completing job sheets, estimates and purchases a breeze.

I feel this course would be perfect for both new service advisors to the role or for those who would like a top-up/run-through of the tasks service advisors deal with on a daily basis and how to productively and efficiently complete them (individually or as a team).

Looking forward to progressing my skills as a service advisor through the courses provided by your team.

Jason Kiely - Forge Garage (Winton)

I have been in the Motor trade for nearly 10 years now and used many systems. I have been with Forge for a little over 2 months and have self-taught Garage Hive.

I must say after this course I feel confident that I can go back to site with a much better understanding of the system and how to implement various tasks that until now have not been actioned.

VI's being the main one and the importance of them, also the fact Technicians will not have to do much more.

Thanks for the course it was really useful I will be advising Karl to send more existing staff and of course any new starters to the business on it as a matter of urgency
