Collision Repair Estimator
???? Tempe, Arizona
Kaizen Collision Center – Tempe is looking for a Collision Repair Estimator who knows the job, writes clean sheets, and can handle real production.
Let’s be straight.
If you’re at a shop where:
The car count slows down and your paycheck follows
Supplements turn into constant fights with insurance
Techs don’t tear down properly and you’re stuck cleaning it up
Management promises customers things you’re expected to fix
Or you’re told to “just push it through” instead of write it right
You already know that kind of shop burns people out.
We’re a busy East Valley shop with steady volume coming through Tempe, Chandler, Mesa, and the 101/202 corridor.
Cars move.
Repairs are done the right way.
And leadership backs production — not shortcuts.
No chaos. No games. No babysitting.
Mitchell estimating system experience is required for this role.
What You’ll Do
Perform proper teardown and identify damage early
Write complete, defensible estimates using Mitchell
Manage supplements and approvals
Work directly with technicians to keep jobs moving
Communicate clearly with customers and insurance partners
Protect cycle time while maintaining quality repairs
Who This Is For
Estimators who take pride in writing it right the first time
People tired of cleaning up other people’s mistakes
Someone who understands that documentation protects everyone
1–2+ years estimating experience or strong collision repair background
Hands-on Mitchell estimating system experience (required)
Knowledge of repair procedures, parts flow, and production shops
Valid driver’s license
If you’re thin-skinned or need constant direction, this won’t be the right fit.
If you’re organized, steady, and know how to produce, you’ll do well here.
Applicants without Mitchell estimating system experience will not be considered.
What You Get
Competitive pay + performance incentives
Steady car count in a busy East Valley market
Health, dental, and vision insurance
401(k) with company match
Flexible Spending Account
Health Savings Account
Life Insurance
