Collision Estimator Jobs in Missouri

A Collision Estimator, also known as an Auto Damage Appraiser, plays a crucial role in the automotive industry. They are responsible for assessing damage to vehicles caused by accidents or other incidents and estimating the cost of repairs. This involves inspecting the physical aspects of the vehicle, taking photographs, and preparing comprehensive reports. It is necessary for them to have a solid understanding of different types of vehicles and auto parts, as well as the ability to use estimation software. They often work closely with clients, insurance companies, and repair shops, so excellent communication and customer service skills are crucial. Certifications such as the Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair (I-CAR) certification can be beneficial.

Prior to becoming a Collision Estimator, an individual could hold positions such as an Auto Body Technician or an Auto Mechanic, where they would gain hands-on experience fixing and understanding the mechanics of vehicles. They may also work as an Insurance Adjuster or Claims Adjuster, which involves evaluating insurance claims and negotiating settlements. Each of these roles requires knowledge of vehicles and repairs, attention to detail, and strong customer service skills, providing a solid foundation for a career as a Collision Estimator.
