  • Select appropriate parts, confirm model/trim, pricing, and availability.
  • Schedule sublet services and quote sublet work.
  • Add all invoices (parts, sublet, rental, towing) to the file per insurer guidelines.
  • Maintain estimate accuracy throughout repairs with supplements, price changes, and insurer communication.
  • Upload and monitor claims for approval.
  • Send final supplements and invoices to insurers
  • Ensure final authorization is documented and files are closed accurately.
  • Perform final quality control checks and deliver vehicles to customers, explaining repairs when needed.
  • Customer & vendor support via phone, email, and in person.
  • Provide professional, friendly communication and timely updates throughout the repair process.
  • Enter invoices, post payments, and maintain accurate financial and administrative records.
  • Receive payments from customers, insurers, and third parties.
  • Schedule appraisal, repair, rental, towing, and sublet appointments.
  • Confirm drivability and towing needs; coordinate with head office and external partners.
  • Maintain organized digital and physical filing systems; update management systems with dates and notes.
  • Scan and upload invoices; track calls and communication per claim.
  • Manage courtesy cars, including check‑in, mileage, condition, and warranty parts for corrosion claims.
  • Explain insurance processes, verify deductibles, and prepare claim paperwork.
  • Update insurers on repair status and manage estimating systems, assignments, and supplements.
  • Ensure clear communication through preferred customer channels and support CSI review completion.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
