ADP

If you are unable to complete this application due to a disability, contact this employer to ask for an accommodation or an alternative application process. Full Time La Mesa, CA, US 2 days ago Requisition ID: 1387 Salary Range: $65,000.00 To $200,000.00 Annually Kaizen Collision Center – La Mesa, California Full-Time | Up to 6% Commission | $200,000+ Earning Potential

TOP ESTIMATORS: YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE WORTH.

If you're already writing strong numbers, closing repairs, managing a heavy book of business, and driving production, you shouldn't have to settle for average earning potential. Kaizen Collision Center is looking for an experienced, high-performing Collision Repair Estimator for our La Mesa, California location. This is not an entry-level opportunity. We're looking for a producer. Someone who can take an opportunity and turn it into a repair order. Someone who can sell the job, build the repair plan, manage the file, communicate with the customer, work with the carrier, and keep production moving. If you're one of the strongest estimators in your current shop, we want to talk to you.

UP TO 6% COMMISSION | $200,000+ EARNING POTENTIAL

Your performance matters. That's why this opportunity offers up to 6% commission with the potential to earn more than $200,000 annually. Compensation is based on experience, production, performance, and the applicable compensation plan. The opportunity is here. What you do with it is up to you.

WE DON'T NEED AN ORDER TAKER.

We need someone who knows how to capture business. You should be comfortable: Turning estimates into scheduled repairs Selling the customer on why they should repair with your shop Building trust quickly Writing accurate, profitable repair plans Managing supplements aggressively and accurately Working directly with insurance companies and adjusters Understanding DRP expectations and requirements Communicating with technicians, parts, paint, and production Managing multiple active repairs without losing control of your files Identifying bottlenecks before they affect delivery Keeping customers informed throughout the repair Driving cycle time Delivering an exceptional customer experience

KNOW YOUR NUMBERS?

Good. We want an estimator who understands that performance can be measured. You should know: Your closing ratio. Your gross profit. Your supplement activity. Your cycle time. And when something isn't moving, you don't wait for someone else to fix it. You take ownership.

EXPERIENCE REQUIRED

We're looking for candidates with professional collision repair estimating experience and a strong understanding of: Complete repair planning Customer sales and closing Insurance negotiations Supplements DRP procedures Gross profit and repair economics Production and cycle-time management Progressive claims experience is a plus. I-CAR, ASE, and OEM certifications are preferred. A valid driver's license is preferred.

SAN DIEGO VOLUME. SERIOUS EARNING POTENTIAL.

Our La Mesa location serves customers throughout La Mesa, El Cajon, Lemon Grove, Spring Valley, Santee, San Diego, College Area, and surrounding East County communities. With access to major corridors including I-8, SR-125, SR-94, and the greater San Diego freeway network , this is a market with significant collision repair opportunity. We're looking for someone who knows how to capitalize on it.

WHAT'S WAITING FOR YOU

Up to 6% commission Opportunity to earn $200,000+ Consistent repair opportunities Established insurance and DRP relationships Experienced production teams OEM-focused repair procedures Leadership that understands production Paid OEM and industry training Advancement opportunities within a growing collision repair organization

BENEFITS

Kaizen offers a comprehensive benefits package, including: Curative Medical Insurance
  • 0 deductible
  • 0 in-network copays
  • 0 in-network prescriptions
Preloaded card for approved out-of-network care Vision insurance 401(k) with company match Paid time off Paid holidays Paid OEM and industry training COMFORTABLE WHERE YOU ARE? THIS PROBABLY ISN'T FOR YOU. But if you're producing at a high level and wondering whether there's a bigger opportunity available, it's worth having a conversation. You don't need someone to teach you how to write an estimate. You already know how to sell. You already know how to negotiate. You already know how to manage a repair. You already know how to produce. Now let's talk about what that performance could be worth. If you're an experienced collision estimator in the San Diego or East County market and you're ready to explore an opportunity with up to 6% commission and $200,000+ earning potential . Your current shop doesn't need to know you're looking. #J-18808-Ljbffr ADP
