Collision Estimating Salary

Learning auto estimating can qualify you for jobs earning up to $40,000 per year, plus benefits

The industry standard for a job in auto estimating is $40,000, plus benefits, but the pay scale can increase, depending on the skills and experience of the car estimator.

You should also know that any occupation in the service sector is a good bet because government statistics show that a lot of retirements (about 45%) are expected in “Sales & Service and Business”, “Finance and Administration” over the next five years. That means almost one out of every two jobs in those sectors will need to be filled by new employees. Better still, Canada is expected to generate one million new jobs over the next five years – and 75% of those jobs will be in the service sector. In short, if you want to increase your chances of getting employed – and staying employed – a career in a service job like Auto Estimating makes good sense.

My grandfather started Coache Collision Ltd. in 1975, and my father began working there in 1985, as a collision estimator. My grandfather retired in 2008 leaving the company to my dad, who has owned it since then. I had only worked at the company in the summer during high school washing cars and cleaning the shop. After graduating high school, I jumped from job to job; never really happy with the different fields of work I was in. In January 2012 I went back to Coache Collision and started t...

I had a great experience at ATC. The instructors were very experienced and excited to be passing on their knowledge to others.

Anyone interested in the automotive or auto body should sign up with ATC.
