About your past

Tell me about a time a repair came back. What went wrong, and what did you change afterward?

What they are checking: Whether they own mistakes and learn from them, since comebacks cost time and customer trust.

How do you work with the painter and the estimator to keep a car moving through the shop?

What they are checking: Whether they are team-first and communicate handoffs, since one stalled step holds up the whole repair.

What they are checking: Whether they live the fix-it-right-the-first-time mindset even when there is time pressure.

While repairing a car you find hidden damage that is not on the estimate. What do you do?

What they are checking: Whether they stop and document for a supplement instead of skipping it or doing unapproved work.

About the work

Walk me through how you blueprint a vehicle before you start a repair.

What they are checking: Whether they find all damage up front, since missed damage causes supplements, delays and comebacks.

How do you set up and measure a vehicle on the frame machine to know it is back to spec?

What they are checking: Whether they truly understand structural repair and measuring, which the posting calls out directly.

Where do you find OEM repair procedures, and when have they changed how you fixed a car?

What they are checking: Whether they follow OEM repair procedures, which matter for safety on modern vehicles with high-strength steel and sensors.

What kinds of welding have you done, and which materials are you comfortable with, like steel or aluminum?

What they are checking: Whether their welding skills match modern collision repair, including materials that need special equipment.
