Job description

Auto Body Technician | 4-Day Work Week | $90K–$125K a Year | Des Moines, WA

CARSTAR Murray’s in Des Moines is hiring an Auto Body Technician for our highest-volume shop. As a Tesla-certified repair center, we keep the bays full, so a fast, skilled tech never sits around waiting on work. On flat rate, steady work is what turns into a bigger paycheck, and that’s exactly what we offer.

Murray’s Collision Group is a family-owned collision repair company that has served the Puget Sound since 1984. We’re big enough to offer real benefits and steady work across multiple locations, and small enough that your name and your work matter. If you’re a body tech in South King County tired of slow weeks, fighting traffic into Seattle or working weekend shifts, this is a role worth a look.

Why techs choose us

• 4-day work week: A 4x10 schedule gives you three-day weekends every week, and you never work weekend shifts.
• Real earning power: We pay a flat rate of $22–$30 per flagged hour, based on skill, quality and experience. A good, experienced tech here produces 2 flagged hours for every hour worked. At $26, that’s about $2,080 a week, or over $100,000 a year on a 40-hour week. There’s no cap, and great techs earn more.
• Steady volume: As our busiest shop and a Tesla-certified repair center, Des Moines has a consistent flow of work to keep your hours flagged.
• Tesla and I-CAR training: Build skills on some of the most in-demand vehicles on the road
• Benefits: Medical, dental and vision insurance, life insurance, a 401(k) with a 2% employer match, and paid holidays and PTO.
• Facility: A modern, well-equipped shop with state-of-the-art tools, frame and measuring equipment, and laptop access in the bay.

What you’ll be doing

• Performing collision repairs, including structural repair, welding and sheet metal work
• Using frame and measuring equipment to restore vehicles to precise manufacturer specifications
• Repairing aluminum and electric vehicles, including Tesla, following OEM repair procedures
• Disassembling and reassembling vehicles and documenting repairs as you go
• Working with the team to hit repair deadlines without sacrificing quality
• Keeping your workspace clean and organized and following all shop safety protocols

What we’re looking for

• Proficiency in I-CAR welding and hands-on experience with frame and measuring equipment
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple repairs at once
• Aluminum or EV repair experience is a plus. We’ll support your Tesla training.
• Your own tools, in good working order
• Valid driver’s license and insurable driving record
