Experienced Estimators: Your Performance Should Pay

We’re looking for estimators who know how to sell.

You know how to build trust with a customer, explain the repair process, overcome objections, capture the job, write a complete repair plan, and keep that repair moving from vehicle check-in through final delivery.

If you’re a proven producer who knows your numbers and wants an opportunity where your performance can directly impact your earning potential, Kaizen wants to talk with you.
