Our client, a large multi-franchise approved car dealer group with sites across South Wales, is currently looking to recruit an experienced and professional Vehicle Damage Assessor/Estimator to join their busy body repair centre in Swansea.

Reporting to the Bodyshop Manager, your main purpose will be to carry out estimates as specified by insurers/customers, ensuring that the vehicle repair can be carried out efficiently and that, by doing so, a satisfactory profit margin can be generated.
  • Prepare manual and computerised estimates efficiently and ensure that they conform to the requirements laid down by the insurance company/customer in order that customer care/satisfaction standards are maintained at all times.
  • To maintain a file of all estimates undertaken, making sure that all work that is not automatically authorised is identified.
  • Ensure that any such work does not commence until authorisation is gained, following up any unauthorised estimates and reporting reasons.
  • Once authorisation has been gained, liaise with the body shop personnel and make sure that they understand fully the work to be done as per the estimate.
  • Alternately communicate to the Bodyshop if, by agreement with the insurance company, the vehicle is deemed a “total loss”.
