A Day in the Life of a Claims Department Team Member

When our customers return a part to us, for whatever reason (damaged, job canceled, wrong part, not needed, etc.), employees must inspect the part to determine if it is damaged, or if the customer used or worked on it, or, if it is in like-new shape, can it be put back in inventory and resold.  Next, you would process the credit for the customer in our computer system, which you would be trained in. This job will be physically demanding due to the constant pushing and pulling of parts and inspecting panels, doors, and hoods at times. Attention to detail is crucial.
