The Miller Auto Team is seeking an outgoing, friendly, and positive person to join our team! As one of the oldest dealerships in Broome County, Miller Auto Team has been providing our customers from Vestal, Binghamton, Elmira and Ithaca, NY with top quality service since 1945. Automotive service advisors greet customers, listen to their description of the problems or service needed, determine the type of service required and prepare repair orders.
