Full Job Description

Job Overview

A collision estimator (also known as an auto body estimator or damage appraiser) acts as a primary liaison and project manager throughout the repair journey to include, but not limited to: Writing estimates, conducting process reviews, checking in customer vehicles, completing final customer paperwork prior to vehicle delivery (DRP, final invoice), finalizing total loss administration and providing post repair plan communication including all vehicle status updates to customers.

Vehicle Assessment: The job begins with a thorough inspection of the damaged vehicle to determine the extent of mechanical, body, and structural issues. This often involves visual inspection, possible road tests, and using information provided by the customer about the accident.
Creating the Estimate: Using specialized software like CCC One, Mitchell, or Audatex, the estimator documents all necessary parts replacements and labor costs, producing a detailed repair plan.
Customer Communication: A critical part of the job involves empathetic communication with customers, who are often experiencing a stressful situation after an accident. The estimator explains the repair process, timeline, costs, and addresses any questions they may have.
Insurance Coordination: Estimators work closely with insurance adjusters to ensure compliance with insurance client requirements and Direct Repair Programs (DRPs). This can sometimes involve negotiating discrepancies between initial estimates and the actual needed repairs.
Workflow Management: They play a pivotal role in managing the repair workflow, placing work orders for parts, monitoring the repair status, and performing quality checks on the finished vehicle before its delivery to the customer.

We are seeking a dynamic and detail-oriented Collision Estimator, Auto Body Estimator, or Service Advisor to join our fast-paced automotive service team.
