Job description

Collision Estimator (High Performance Shop)

UNIBODY Autotech Collision Centers

Top Pay. High Volume. No Shortcuts.

We’re not your average body shop — and we’re not looking for average estimators.

At UNIBODY Autotech, we repair today’s most advanced vehicles (EV, ADAS, OEM-certified). We need a sharp, aggressive, detail-driven estimator who knows how to:

  • Write complete, accurate estimates
  • Capture missed damage & supplements
  • Push back on insurance companies
  • Deliver a top-tier customer experience


What You’ll Do

  • Write and manage estimates using CCC ONE
  • Identify hidden damage + UPD (prior damage)
  • Handle insurance communication & approvals
  • Drive supplements and maximize repair accuracy
  • Educate customers on proper repairs (not insurance shortcuts)
  • Work closely with production to ensure no missed operations


What We’re Looking For

  • 2+ years collision estimating experience
  • Strong with CCC ONE + insurance negotiations
  • Knows how to find labor, not miss it
  • Confident, professional, and not afraid to stand your ground
  • Bonus if you understand EV / Tesla / ADAS repairs


Pay & Benefits

  • Base + Performance Bonus (High Earners Wanted)
  • Health, Dental, Vision
  • Growth into top-level estimator / leadership roles


Bottom Line

If you’re tired of:

  • Writing weak estimates
  • Letting insurance dictate repairs
  • Leaving money on the table

…and you want to work in a shop that does it right and gets paid for it — apply now.


Apply today — serious estimators only.
