3rd or 4th Year Collision Repair Apprentice

Our Client

Celebrating 30 years of providing the Tsawwassen area with high-quality repairs on all makes and models of vehicles, including Tesla and other electric models, our Client is an ICBC-accredited Collision Repair Shop focused on getting you back on the road in pre-accident (or better) condition. With expertise in glass, body & mechanical repairs for both insurance and private pay clients, the only thing better than having your car worked on at our Client's shop is working IN our Client's shop!

What Makes Them Unique?

Unlike other Collision Shops that operate with a two-team repair system, this shop has been operating with a three-team repair system for over 10 years, with all pre-repair disassembly done by a Mechanical /Electronics team. The vehicle is then transferred to the Repair team for structural and surface repair work. After the repairs are completed, the vehicle is sent to the Paint team and, finally, back to the Mechanical/Electronics team for assembly. Each of the three departments (four with Glass) resides in their own space, in 3 closely aligned buildings, each with a complete set of equipment necessary to perform their job duties. As a result, this shop rarely has to sublet services to external partners and can complete nearly all repairs (including those on EVs) in-house.
