Body Shop Technician

A great body technician does more than replace damaged parts. You rebuild vehicles, restore confidence and help customers put a bad day behind them. At Chuck Anderson Ford, we want to develop collision repair professionals at every stage of their careers through paid training, paid schooling and long-term opportunities to grow.

Your work is the difference between repaired and restored.

When a customer brings a damaged vehicle to a body shop, they are trusting the technician to put something important back together correctly. That takes craftsmanship, patience, technical knowledge and attention to details most people will never see. Chuck Anderson Ford wants to give talented people the training and opportunity to turn those skills into a long-term automotive collision repair career.

An experienced collision technician can bring tremendous value to a body shop. We also know that every experienced technician had to start somewhere.

If you have some experience but still have areas you want to develop, we want to help.

And if you are early in your career with mechanical ability, attention to detail and a real desire to learn collision repair, we are willing to talk about how you can start building those skills.

Our objective is not simply to fill a stall. We want to develop people who become better collision repair professionals every year they work with us.

Start from the ground up.

Start somewhere in the middle.

Or bring years of experience. Where you start matters less than whether you want to keep learning, improving your craft and doing work you can be proud to put your name behind.

Build a Collision Repair Career

There should always be another skill to learn.

Collision repair combines craftsmanship, structural knowledge, electronics, measuring, welding, panel repair and modern vehicle technology. That creates opportunities to continue developing throughout your career.

Begin learning collision repair fundamentals, safe shop practices, disassembly, reassembly, basic panel work and the processes required to return a damaged vehicle to service.

Build experience with increasingly complex repairs while expanding your abilities in panel replacement, repair procedures, measuring, welding and vehicle construction.

03 Experienced Body Technician Take on larger and more technical collision repairs while applying manufacturer procedures, advanced tools and years of hands-on repair experience.

04 Collision Repair Expert Become the technician other people rely on for complicated repairs, structural knowledge, problem solving and the craftsmanship necessary to restore severely damaged vehicles correctly.

CRAFT Technology changes. Great workmanship still matters.

Today's body technician is part craftsman, part technician and part problem solver.

Collision repair has changed dramatically.

Modern vehicles combine advanced steels, aluminum, adhesives, electronics, cameras, sensors, driver-assistance technology and increasingly sophisticated construction techniques.

That means knowing how something was repaired twenty years ago is not enough. Body technicians need access to current information, proper procedures and continued education.

At the same time, the fundamentals still matter: patience, fit, finish, measurements, alignment, craftsmanship and pride in the finished vehicle.

The dealership's reputation depends on what leaves your work area.

Customers expect the same integrity from the body shop that they expect from our sales and service departments. That gives skilled collision technicians an important role in the reputation of Chuck Anderson Ford.
