We’re a family-owned organization that values integrity, craftsmanship, and accountability, not shortcuts. This role is a big deal here. As an Estimator, you’re the bridge between the guest, the insurer, and the shop. Your accuracy sets the tone for cycle time, parts flow, supplement control, and ultimately the quality of the repair. If you like clarity, precision, and being respected as a professional, you’ll fit. Why you’ll want this seat at Germain A tenured team makes your job better.
