Job Description

ABRA Collision Repair | Spokane, WA Compensation: $80,000–$85,000 base + performance bonus at target (total target comp $100,000–$106,000) About the Shop We're a growing ABRA-affiliated collision repair center in Spokane, working closely with a full-service dealership network and a strong DRP (direct repair program) base. This is a tight, high-performing crew — an experienced estimator, a dedicated CSR, a highly skilled A-level technician, a painter, and a detailer — and we're looking for a hands-on leader ready to run production, protect our insurer relationships, and grow the team. The Role This isn't a desk job. You'll be running the floor as much as you're running the numbers — scheduling production, keeping cycle time tight, coaching the team, and staying directly involved in the shop's day-to-day work. You'll report on shop performance, manage DRP/insurer relationships, and have real input on hiring as we build out the crew (we're actively looking to add a disassembly/reassembly technician to free up our A-tech for higher-value repair work — you'll help shape that hire). What you'll own:

  • Daily production scheduling and workflow across the shop
  • Insurer/DRP relationship management and scorecard performance
  • Cycle time, gross profit %, and CSI targets
  • Coaching and developing a lean, high-performing crew
  • Hands-on involvement in estimating and production when the shop needs it
What We're Looking For
  • 5+ years of collision repair industry experience, including some time in a leadership or senior estimator role
  • Comfort managing DRP/insurer relationships and understanding scorecard metrics
  • Willingness to stay hands-on — this is a small-crew shop, and the right person leads from the floor, not just the office
  • I-CAR or ASE certification preferred
  • Strong communicator who can develop technicians and build a team, not just direct one
What We Offer
  • A strong base salary ($80,000–$85,000) plus a performance bonus targeted at 25% of base, tied to gross profit, cycle time, and customer satisfaction — not a flat commission plan
  • Real autonomy: you'll run this shop, not just administer someone else's playbook
  • A voice in building out the crew as we grow, starting with our next hire
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid time off (PTO)
