Job Description

Description

Looking for a better shop, a better schedule, and a team that takes pride in the work?

We’re actively hiring an Auto Body Paint Prepper to join our collision center.


This role is critical to the quality of every repair. We value prep work and the people who do it right.


Why This Role Stands Out

  • Monday–Friday schedule with no weekends 
  • High-volume, steady workflow 
  • Clean, well-equipped, modern shop 
  • Team that respects quality and craftsmanship 
  • Clear path to becoming a Painter 
  • Stable, family-owned company with long-term leadership 

Why Don Johnson Auto Group

We’re a fifth-generation, family-owned organization that’s been serving our communities since 1915.


We’ve built our reputation by doing things the right way—for our customers and our team.

  • Named one of the Best Dealerships to Work For 
  • Strong, values-driven culture (The Don Johnson Way) 
  • Invest in training, tools, and career growth 
  • Promote from within whenever possible 

If you’re looking for a place where your work matters and your effort is recognized, you’ll find it here.


What You’ll Do

  • Sand and prep panels (feather-edge, remove defects) 
  • Apply filler and refine surfaces 
  • Mask vehicles (trim, glass, lights) 
  • Clean and degrease for paint adhesion 
  • Apply primers and sealers 
  • Inspect panels before paint 
  • Maintain tools and prep area 
  • Work closely with painters and technicians 

Career Growth

This is a true entry point into a long-term career.


Many of our painters started in prep. We invest in your development and promote from within.


Benefits

  • Health, dental, and vision insurance 
  • 401(k) with company match 
  • Paid time off 
  • Ongoing training
