Service Advisor Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a service advisor in Texas?
Most service advisors in Texas enter through dealership service writer roles or customer service positions at automotive shops, then earn the ASE Service Consultant certification (C1) to advance. Texas does not require a state-issued license to work as a service advisor, but ASE certification is the recognized industry standard and is required or preferred by most franchised dealerships. Many Texas dealers also offer in-house training aligned with manufacturer certification programs for brands like Ford, GM, and Toyota.
How much do service advisors make in Texas?
Service advisors in Texas earn a median of about $40,420 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $29,320 for the lowest 10% to over $59,590 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire service advisors in Texas?
Employers hiring service advisors in Texas right now include JPMorganChase, Bank of America, and ExxonMobil, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Texas's large population of franchised dealerships, independent service centers, and commercial fleet operators means consistent openings across all major metro areas year-round.
Which Texas cities have the most service advisor jobs?
Houston, Dallas, and Austin have the most service advisor openings in Texas. Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth dominate due to their concentration of high-volume franchised dealerships and commercial fleet operations, while San Antonio's steady population growth and strong presence of large dealer groups and military-adjacent vehicle service centers keeps it among the top markets for this role.
Are there remote service advisor jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're rare. Service advising is fundamentally an in-person role that involves receiving vehicles, talking with technicians, and managing repair orders on the shop floor. About 13% of service advisor openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, and those positions tend to be in warranty claims administration or service coordination roles that don't require direct vehicle intake.
How can I get hired as a service advisor in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a service writer or service lane coordinator role at a franchised dealership, which is designed for candidates building experience. Large Texas dealer groups like AutoNation and Sonic Automotive hire for these entry positions and often provide manufacturer-aligned training programs. Candidates who hold a current ASE Student certification or have worked in customer-facing automotive parts or retail roles are consistently prioritized. A clean driving record and familiarity with any dealer management system strengthens an application significantly.
Where can I find and apply to service advisor jobs in Texas?
