Body Shop Manager Jobs

A Body Shop Manager oversees the daily operations of an automotive body shop, often referred to as a collision repair center. Their primary duties involve managing staff, ensuring customer satisfaction, setting and monitoring budgets, and maintaining a high standard of work quality and safety. They also liaise with insurance companies for claims, order parts and supplies, and ensure compliance with environmental regulations. Additionally, they are responsible for customer relations, so they need excellent communication and problem-solving skills.

Important skills for a Body Shop Manager include strong leadership, customer service skills, and the ability to manage budgets and resources effectively. A solid understanding of auto repair techniques and industry standards is crucial. They should also be familiar with relevant software systems used in auto repair shops. Certifications from the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) or similar organizations are often preferred or required. Individuals might start their career as an Auto Body Technician, Automotive Service Advisor, or Body Shop Estimator before advancing to the role of a Body Shop Manager.
