Rookie estimator Skylar Kern of Beechmont Subaru (Kenwood Dealer Group) was eager to grow as an estimator.
Then her manager enrolled her in the Matrix Estimating Training Bootcamp. A 4-day, 30-hour simulated shop experience that delivers the foundation for estimating accuracy and efficiency.
“Having a shop right there that I can go out to and physically look at cars that are being torn down and write an estimate has given me so much more confidence,” explained Kern.
"Skylar is an amazing member of our team. It's amazing watching her quickly grow into an AMAZING estimator," Nathan Schoulthies, Manager of Beechmont Subaru said.
Upskill Efficiency Training
Being new to the Body Shop side of the industry, Kern was excited to have an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of Estimating where repetitions are constantly being performed.
