Common Search & ComparisonYesNo

Collision Adjusters primarily evaluate vehicle damage for insurance claims, working in offices or claim sites, and require insurance-related certifications. Auto Body Technicians focus on repairing vehicles in repair shops, with technical auto repair certifications. While both roles deal with vehicle damage, their responsibilities, work environments, and credentials differ significantly.

What is a collision adjuster?

Collision Adjusters are insurance professionals who assess damage to vehicles after accidents and determine the amount of money the insurance company should pay for repairs or replacement. They inspect vehicles, review accident reports, interview involved parties, and work with repair shops to estimate costs. Their goal is to ensure the claim process is fair and accurate for both the insurer and the policyholder. Collision Adjusters often need strong communication and negotiation skills, as well as a good understanding of automobile repair and insurance policies.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a collision adjuster, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Collision Adjuster, you need strong knowledge of automotive repair, insurance policies, and damage assessment, typically supported by a relevant degree or industry experience. Familiarity with estimating software such as CCC One or Audatex and, in some states, an adjuster’s license, are commonly required. Exceptional communication, negotiation, and customer service skills help you effectively interact with policyholders, repair shops, and other stakeholders. These abilities ensure accurate claim evaluations, efficient settlements, and high customer satisfaction in a fast-paced insurance environment.

How does a collision adjuster typically interact with auto repair shops and customers during the claims process?

As a Collision Adjuster, you’ll regularly communicate with both auto repair shops and customers to ensure claims are handled efficiently and fairly. You may visit repair facilities to assess vehicle damage, review repair estimates, and negotiate repair costs. Keeping customers informed about claim status and explaining the next steps is also a key part of the role. Strong interpersonal and negotiation skills are essential, as you’ll balance the interests of the insurance company, repair shops, and the policyholder.

Job description

Collision Center Estimator

Lindquist Ford is looking for an experienced, motivated Collision Center Estimator to join our team.

We are looking for someone who understands that a great estimator does more than write an estimate. This position plays a critical role in the entire repair process — from the initial vehicle inspection and customer communication to insurance coordination, supplements, documentation, and final delivery.

The ideal candidate is organized, detail-oriented, comfortable communicating with customers and insurance companies, and able to keep repairs moving through the collision center.

What You'll Do
  • Inspect damaged vehicles and prepare accurate, thorough collision repair estimates

  • Review repair needs and identify all visible and potential damage

  • Communicate clearly with customers throughout the repair process

  • Work directly with insurance companies and adjusters

  • Prepare, document, and follow up on supplements

  • Review insurance estimates and identify missed labor, operations, materials, and procedures

  • Research OEM repair procedures and ensure proper documentation is included in the repair plan

  • Work closely with technicians, parts personnel, and collision center management

  • Monitor repair progress and help eliminate delays

  • Maintain accurate repair order documentation, photos, notes, and customer communication

  • Assist with final repair order review to ensure all completed work and billable operations are properly documented

  • Help provide a smooth, professional customer experience from vehicle drop-off through delivery

What We're Looking For
  • Collision estimating or automotive repair experience preferred

  • Strong knowledge of collision repair processes and terminology

  • Experience working with insurance companies and adjusters

  • Excellent communication and customer service skills

  • Strong attention to detail and documentation

  • Ability to stay organized and manage multiple repairs at one time

  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment

  • Team-oriented attitude with the ability to work closely with technicians and management

  • Estimating software experience is preferred

  • I-CAR training or certifications are a plus

Why Join Lindquist Ford?

At Lindquist Ford, we believe in giving our employees the tools, support, and opportunity to be successful. Our Collision Center is focused on improving processes, growing our operation, and providing a high-quality repair experience for our customers.

We are looking for someone who wants to be part of that growth — someone who takes pride in writing a complete repair plan, communicating with customers, and helping the entire shop operate more efficiently.

  • What We Offer
    • Competitive pay with performance-based incentives
    • Health, dental, and vision insurance
    • Paid time off and holidays
    • 401(k) with company match
    • Ongoing training and certification opportunities
    • A supportive, team-oriented shop environment
    • Opportunities for career growth

If you are an experienced collision professional looking for an opportunity to grow with a locally operated dealership, we want to talk to you.

Apply today and learn more about joining the Lindquist Ford team.
