A Jr. Service Advisor makes like $48,000 at my Dealership here in Calgary (Acura)
I would love to move back if I made like $55,000-$60,000 as a Service or parts advisor
Sell both my houses here, Buy a townhouse or condo with 2 parking spots.
I'd be able to drive my Turbo RSX year round and motorcycle whenever I want.

I took a wage hit in order to "restart" my career on the service side. At my last position as body shop estimator, I got a bump to $35k a year after my review, but found myself unhappy with the workplace. Same story when I was a Lexus parts advisor, but they were badly stiffing me on a raise due to "budget contraints". For now I'm making $32k, with intent to put in my time to get to a better wage. I'd rather make less and be happy than get paid out the ass and suffer.
There's a quietly increasing shortage of service advisors, and I'm pretty sure if you can get in at a luxury dealership, you'll see $50k minimum with experience.
