Where does a collision estimator work?

Career: Collision Estimator

A collision estimator may work for a body shop or auto repair service provider. Some of these garages specialize in collision repair, while others offer a wide range of repair services. You may work exclusively as an estimator or, if qualified, you may function as both an estimator and a body repair specialist who performs the repairs. Insurance companies may also hire collision estimators to investigate claims or verify reports and estimates from collision estimators at body shops. A collision estimator may need work in the field and provide estimates at owner’s homes or third party repair centers.
