Body Shop Technician

BODY SHOP TECHNICIANS: WE HAVE THE WORK.

Detroit's largest collision center. And right now, a backlog. Most shops in this market are hunting for cars. We're trying to get through what's already here. Ray Laethem is the largest collision repair facility in Detroit, built on 40+ years of the same families coming back to us. Grosse Pointe, Detroit's east side, and the surrounding communities keep our lot full whether or not the rest of the market is busy. We are the exception in this market, and we're hiring technicians who want to actually turn hours.

WE ARE A DIRECT REPAIR FACILITY FOR:

State Farm Citizens AAA

MEEMIC

Auto-Owners

WHY THE WORK DOESN'T STOP HERE

PARTS DON'T HOLD YOU UP. Our parts department chases parts relentlessly so you're not standing around waiting on a bumper cover. Getting techs what they need, fast, is their job, and they take it seriously. A LARGE LOANER FLEET KEEPS VEHICLES MOVING. Customers aren't calling every day asking when their car is done, because they're already driving one of ours. That means no pressure to rush a repair out the door and no cars parked in the way of yours. DIRECT REPAIR RELATIONSHIPS THAT FEED THE SHOP. Five major carriers sending us work year-round. That's a steady pipeline, not a feast-or-famine cycle. A TEAM THAT ISN'T STUCK IN 1985. Nobody here is guarding a corner of the shop or doing it the way they did it 30 years ago because that's how they've always done it. Experienced estimators, painters, parts professionals, and management, all pulling the same direction. We repair to manufacturer standards, we use current procedures and equipment, and we're motivated to be the best shop in the state, not just the biggest one in the city.
