This Is a Producer’s Position

We’re not looking for an entry-level estimator.

And we’re not looking for someone who simply writes what they see and passes the file along.

We want someone who understands the entire business of collision repair.

You know how to write the repair.

You know how to sell the repair.

You know how to keep it moving.

You understand that every customer interaction matters. Every repair plan matters. Every supplement matters. Every day a vehicle sits matters.

If you know your numbers, consistently produce, and want an opportunity where your performance can translate into $200,000+ earning potential, it may be time to see what you can do at Kaizen.
