They have a friendly relaxed working environment with excellent staff retention.
This is a customer facing role and with support from your team, will entail estimating on site as well as liaising with clients to arrange a suitable time to assess the vehicle at their homes/places of work.
Estimates will then need to be entered on the computer system of the insurers choice and liaising with the insurance engineers may be necessary.
Authority for the work is then requested and the job sheet with repair methods raised for the workshop using our bodyshop management software. Images will need to be taken and uploaded at different stages of repair.
We’ve recently just started working with this client, as they very rarely recruit. If you are an experienced VDA with Audatex experience, please get in contact today.
