About the role
As a Cosmetic Repair Associate, you play a vital role in ensuring every CarMax vehicle meets our quality standards. In this position, you’ll perform Paintless Dent Repair (PDR), cosmetic wheel restoration, and a variety of interior cosmetic repairs during the reconditioning process. Your expertise will cover fabric, vinyl, leather, plastic, and carpet repairs, including dye and color-matching techniques. This is your opportunity to join a team that values precision, quality, and innovation while helping customers love their cars.
Responsibilities
- Perform advanced cosmetic repairs including Paintless Dent Removal (PDR), wheel refinishing, and interior restoration to meet CarMax standards
- Execute standardized processes and follow detailed work instructions for consistent quality
- Remove and replace vehicle parts as needed during reconditioning
- Deliver exceptional service to internal teams and external customers
- Ensure all vehicles meet CarMax quality and safety requirements
- Complete additional tasks as assigned by management
- Follow CarMax Environmental, Health and Safety (EH&S) requirements and maintain a clean and orderly work area
Required Qualifications
- Completion of New Associate Orientation Training – Operations
- Ability to meet performance and workstation certification standards
- Strong attention to detail for data interpretation and record accuracy
- Capable of performing multiple tasks in a fast-paced, high-energy environment
- Physical ability to lift up to 50 lbs and work in indoor/outdoor conditions, including inclement weather
- Effective communication skills for customer and team interactions
- Flexible schedule availability, including nights, weekends, holidays, and 12-hour shifts
But note schedule is also a qualification; we could separate schedule section. However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could combine schedule into qualifications or have separate schedule section. Since schedule is mentioned as flexible schedule availability, we could put it under Qualifications. But we also have a separate Schedule section maybe. However we already used that bullet in qualifications. Might be redundant to have separate schedule section. Better to keep schedule as part of qualifications. But we could also move schedule bullet to a Schedule section and remove from qualifications. Let's see: The posting includes "Flexible schedule availability, including nights, weekends, holidays, and 12-hour shifts" under Required Qualifications. If we make a Schedule section, we need to ensure we don't duplicate. We could move that bullet to Schedule section and remove from qualifications. That would avoid duplication and give a dedicated Schedule section. The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading ... and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short or drop it." Not about duplication. It's okay to have schedule section.
Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Required Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Check that we have real specific content for each.
Benefits: we have details about sick, vacation, holiday time. We'll list.
Pay: hourly rate range.
Schedule: flexible schedule availability.
Now ensure we removed boilerplate: EEO statement, "CarMax is an equal opportunity employer..." and "Upon an applicant's request..." etc. Also remove "The Hourly Rate For This Position Is $21.70 - $30.40" we will use in Pay section.
Also remove "Except as otherwise required by state law, CarMax Associates are entitled to the following paid sick, vacation, and holiday time." We'll keep benefits details.
Let's craft Benefits section:
Benefits
- Paid sick time: up to 48 hours per year accrued per pay period
- Paid vacation time: between 80 and 200 hours per year after 90‑day waiting period, depending on years of continuous service
- Paid holidays: 8 hours for each of 6 scheduled holidays per year plus 1 floating holiday
- Holiday premium pay if working a scheduled holiday due to business need
- Full‑time salaried associates receive paid time away with no specified limit for sick, vacation, bereavement, jury duty, holidays, floating holiday, etc., subject to manager approval
We might also note "For more details about benefits, please visit our CarMax Benefits website." That's more of a link; could be omitted as it's not substantive? It's a reference; but we could keep as a sentence. However instruction: remove duplicated lines, but not necessarily remove reference. It's okay to keep as a . But we might keep it as a short p.
But we should avoid fluff. It's okay to include as a
for completeness.
Pay section:
Pay
The hourly rate for this position is $21.70 – $30.40.
Schedule section:
Schedule
Flexible schedule availability, including nights, weekends, holidays, and 12‑hour shifts.
Now ensure we didn't repeat any content. The qualifications list should not include schedule bullet now. Let's adjust qualifications list to exclude schedule bullet.
Qualifications list:
- Completion of New Associate Orientation Training – Operations
- Ability to meet performance and workstation certification standards
- Strong attention to detail for data interpretation and record accuracy
- Capable of performing multiple tasks in a fast-paced, high-energy environment
- Physical ability to lift up to 50 lbs and work in indoor/outdoor conditions, including inclement weather
- Effective communication skills for customer and team interactions
Now check for any leftover boilerplate: we removed EEO statement, "CarMax is an equal opportunity employer..." and "Upon an applicant's request..." etc.
Also removed "As an associate, you are part of an innovative movement..." that's part of About CarMax paragraph; we kept some of that in About the role? Actually we kept only the position overview paragraph; we omitted the "About CarMax" paragraph that talks about company history. That's okay because it's not required? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The "About CarMax" paragraph is substantive info about the company. Should we include it? The instruction says we should preserve all substantive information. The "About CarMax" paragraph is about the company, not the role. It might be considered substantive. However we already have an "About the role" section; we could incorporate company overview there or as a separate section like "About CarMax". But the instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It lists examples but not limited to those. Could we add an "About CarMax" section? It's not in the list but could be considered a section heading. However the instruction says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exclusive. So we could add another heading like "About CarMax". But we need to decide if we should preserve that info. The paragraph: "At CarMax, we revolutionized the used car buying experience over 30 years ago by introducing transparency and integrity into the process. Our commitment to customer experience, innovation, and community has made us the nation’s largest used car retailer. With over 250 store locations and over 30,000 associates, we are proud to have been recognized as one of the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® and are committed to helping our communities thrive. As an associate, you are part of an innovative movement to empower the modern customer and drive progress. Your work fuels change—sparking ideas, overcoming challenges, and shaping what’s next. Join us in creating a better future– for our company, our customers, and the communities we call home."
That's substantive. Should we include it? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should include it. Where to put? Could be a section "About CarMax". Or we could fold into About the role section as additional prose. The About the role currently has position overview paragraph; we could add another paragraph after that about CarMax. That would preserve info without extra heading. That seems acceptable: we keep all substantive info, just not adding extra heading if we can incorporate. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So adding another section may be thin; better to incorporate into About the role.
Thus we will have About the role section with two paragraphs: first about position overview, second about CarMax company overview.
Now check for any other substantive info: "CarMax, the way your career should be!" is a tagline; could be included as part of About the role maybe as a short p. But it's not essential; but we could include as a short p. However it's maybe marketing fluff; but it's substantive? It's a tagline. Could include as a p.
But we should avoid duplication. Not needed.
Now ensure we removed "CarMax, the way your career should be!" maybe we keep as part of About the role? It's fine.
