As an independent, non-DRP collision repair facility, we take pride in our commitment to safe, proper, manufacturer-recommended repairs. Our focus is on quality workmanship, attention to detail, and restoring vehicles in accordance with OEM repair procedures—not simply pushing vehicles through production.

We are looking for a motivated, dependable professional who takes pride in their craft, values teamwork, and wants to be part of a company committed to continuous improvement and professional growth.

Responsibilities

• Perform high-quality collision repairs on a variety of makes and models.
• Diagnose and repair structural and non-structural collision damage.
• Perform vehicle disassembly, repair, and reassembly according to manufacturer specifications.
• Follow OEM repair procedures and industry-recognized repair standards.
• Perform metalwork, panel replacement, welding, and component repairs as required.
• Work collaboratively with repair planners and fellow technicians to ensure accurate and efficient repairs.
• Identify and communicate additional damage or repair requirements throughout the repair process.
• Maintain an organized, clean, and safe work environment.
• Demonstrate accountability for workmanship, productivity, and repair quality.

Qualifications

• Prior professional experience in collision repair or auto body repair.
• Strong knowledge of collision repair methods, tools, and equipment.
• Experience with structural and non-structural repairs.
• Ability to read, understand, and follow OEM repair procedures.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship.
• Ability to work independently while contributing to a team environment.
• Dependable, punctual, and committed to maintaining professional standards.
• Willingness to learn, adapt, and develop additional technical skills.
• I-CAR training and OEM certifications are a plus.
• Valid driver's license preferred.

What We Offer

• Competitive hourly compensation based on experience and qualifications.
• Consistent full-time, Monday–Friday schedule.
• Family-owned business with over 50 years of industry experience.
• Professional, team-oriented work environment.
• Opportunity to work on a variety of vehicle makes and models.
• Exposure to advanced collision repair technology and OEM repair procedures.
• Opportunities for continued technical development and professional growth.
• A company that values craftsmanship, accountability, and doing the job right.
