Although a dealership receptionist’s role can range from various administrative and clerical duties, the primary responsibilities include providing excellent customer service. They must operate the switchboard, answer phone calls, respond to emails, serve as greeters, and professionally manage the reception area. Organization and communication skills are essential for this role, requiring everything from troubleshooting the dealership’s computer system to interpreting a customer’s bill or promptly directing a complaint to the appropriate person. A dealership receptionist typically works at a front desk within an automotive dealership, and shifts may range from part-time with variable hours to full-time.
