Don Johnson Motors Collision Center | Rice Lake, Wisconsin

Steady work. Production pay. Monday–Friday. A modern shop where quality work matters.

Don Johnson Motors Collision Center in Rice Lake is hiring an Auto Body Technician / Collision Repair Technician to join our growing team.

We have an established backlog of work, a modern OEM- and I-CAR-certified collision facility, experienced support, and a culture that values people who work hard, take pride in their craft, and do things the right way.

We’re hiring across skill levels. Whether you’re an experienced body technician or a developing technician with the ability and drive to become exceptional, we want to hear from you.

What You Can Expect

  • Consistent work with an existing repair backlog
  • Production-based pay that rewards performance
  • Monday–Friday schedule
  • Modern, state-of-the-art collision repair facility
  • OEM and I-CAR certified environment
  • Experienced team of 8 body technicians
  • Support from 2 estimators and 2 supervisors
  • Paid I-CAR and OEM training
  • Opportunities to advance as your skills and leadership grow
  • A fifth-generation, family-owned company where strong performers are noticed and valued

What You’ll Do

  • Perform structural and non-structural collision repairs
  • Repair and replace body panels and vehicle components
  • Perform welding and structural repairs based on your training and qualifications
  • Follow OEM repair procedures and manufacturer specifications
  • Execute established repair plans accurately and efficiently
  • Identify and communicate additional repair needs
  • Work closely with estimators, production leadership, parts, and fellow technicians
  • Maintain an organized and safe work area

We Measure Success Through

  • Billed hours
  • Technician efficiency
  • Repair quality and comeback performance
  • Guest satisfaction
  • Teamwork and communication
  • Consistent adherence to proper repair procedures

Production never comes at the expense of safety, quality, or integrity.

You’ll fit well on our team if you:

  • Take pride in doing excellent work
  • Work hard and stay productive
  • Have a positive attitude
  • Are dependable and follow through
  • Work well with others
  • Accept coaching and want to improve
  • Pay attention to details
  • Respect established repair procedures
  • Take personal ownership of your work
  • Do the right thing even when nobody is watching

I-CAR certification is preferred. Structural repair, welding, measuring, and modern collision repair experience are also preferred, but we will consider candidates at multiple experience levels.

Technicians provide their own tools.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Production-based compensation
  • Company-funded 401(k)
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Paid holidays
  • Paid time off
  • Paid I-CAR and OEM certification training
  • No-cost college degree programs for eligible team members and family members
