What the interview covers

The questions a good collision technician can answer.

A structured interview of about 15 minutes, with follow-up questions on what the applicant has actually done, taken from their resume.

  • Structural and panel repair on modern vehicles
  • Refinish: prep, color matching and blending
  • Reading and working from an estimate
  • I-CAR or OEM training and the equipment they have used

Your must-ask questions

Asked word for word, every time.

Add the questions you always ask in a first call. For yes/no questions, set the answer you're looking for; the interviewer never gives it away.

  • "Do you have I-CAR training?"
  • "Do you have your own tools?"
