Auto Body Technician | Turn Metal Back into Masterpieces

If you treat collision repair like an art form and take genuine pride in erasing damage until a vehicle looks factory-fresh, you belong in our shop. We’re looking for a skilled Auto Body Technician who values craftsmanship over cut corners, wants steady work with top-tier equipment, and thrives in a clean, well-run bay where your hard work gets noticed and rewarded.

What You’ll Do

  • Rebuild & Restore: Tackle everything from minor dent repairs to full collision rebuilds, structural sheet metal work, and precision frame alignment.
  • Fabricate & Weld: Lay down clean MIG welds and execute custom panel fitment with tight, OEM-spec tolerances.
  • Finish & Detail: Prep, spray, and finish surfaces using professional-grade paint and detailing tools for flawless color matches and gloss.
  • Glass & Assembly: Replace windshields, install auto glass, and handle mechanical teardown and reassembly without missing clips, bolts, or gaps.
  • Own the Bay: Keep your workspace dialed in, work alongside our estimators to catch hidden damage, and ensure every car rolling out is road-safe and show-ready.

What You Bring

  • The Experience: Solid background in collision repair or classic restoration (dealership or high-volume certified shop experience is a major plus).
  • The Hands: Mastery of MIG welding, sheet metal shaping, panel bonding, and both hand and air tools.
  • The Eye: Paint spraying, block sanding, and finish detailing skills that leave zero orange peel or blend lines.
  • The Mindset: Pride in your work, a safety-first attitude, and the physical stamina to handle heavy assemblies without breaking a sweat.

Why Join Us

  • Steady year-round hours and a backlog of work to keep your bay full.
  • Modern shop with well-maintained equipment, dedicated spray booths, and proper ventilation.
  • Competitive pay based on your skill and output, with real room to grow.

What specific pay structure (flat-rate vs. hourly) and perks (tool allowances, 401(k), paid certifications like I-CAR/ASE) do you offer? Knowing this will let me dial in the "Why Join Us" section to attract the best local talent over competitor shops.

Benefits:

  • 401(k)
  • Employee discount
  • Health insurance
