Body Shop Estimator - Germain Collision Center
About The Position
Join a shop where the people stay, the process is respected, and your estimate is treated like the blueprint it is! Collision Estimator | Germain Collision Center At Germain, we believe in doing business the right way, taking care of people, and delivering an experience that earns trust. We’re a family-owned organization that values integrity, craftsmanship, and accountability, not shortcuts. This role is a big deal here. As an Estimator, you’re the bridge between the guest, the insurer, and the shop. Your accuracy sets the tone for cycle time, parts flow, supplement control, and ultimately the quality of the repair. If you like clarity, precision, and being respected as a professional, you’ll fit. A tenured team makes your job better. Our Collision Center is built with long-term team members, and that stability matters for an Estimator because it means: · Consistent repair standards (less guesswork, fewer “surprise” reworks) · Strong communication rhythms between estimating and production · Reliable technician capability so repair plans stay realistic and executable · Better supplement discipline because the team knows what “right” looks like · A calmer, more professional shop environment where processes stick Translation: you can focus on writing accurate estimates and building trust, not constantly putting out fires.
