Auto Body Technician Paint Technician Auto Body Estimator Having been in the collision repair field for many years, I made the decision to find a company who shared my progressive values, and after long research, I chose Mackin’s Auto Body … What a great decision that was! The compassion for the customers, employees and the industry is real. The slogan “Old Fashioned Service with Advanced Technology” is genuine. The owners have indeed built a highly respected organization that is second to none. -Stephan Kohler, Estimator, Mackin’s Gresham Auto Body, 4 year employee Be Part of the Legacy Mackin’s Auto Body began as Mackin’s Automotive in September 1945 when Bob and Doris Mackin purchased the Mobil Oil Service Station on Interstate Avenue in North Portland for a mere $1,000. In the beginning, Bob ran the service station while Doris handled the books. After just one year, Bob and Doris hired their first employee. The following year, they purchased the service station across the street. In 1949, The Mackin’s began what would be a 10-year run in the towing business. In 1960, Bob Mackin built Mackin’s Garage on the corner of Denver Avenue and Schofield where our North Portland location is today. Bob’s son, Larry, began doing small jobs in the automotive industry when he was 10 years old in 1959. His responsibilities grew over the years and by 1970 he was working full time. In 1979, he was made a partner of the newly named Mackin and Son Automotive. When Bob Mackin passed away in 2001, Larry and his wife Suzanne formed a partnership as joint owners of Mackin and Son Automotive, Inc. With the help of our valued customers, the business has grown and prospered over the years. We now employ over 125 full-time employees and have spread to 9 locations across Oregon and Washington. Over the years, I have learned to value a variety of things in various work environments; the common theme being the privileges of working in a family business. Customer service is at the top of our primary focus. At Mackin’s Auto Body, I am a person with a name, not just a number. A comprehensive list of benefits are available to employees. Furthermore, the Mackins promote a culture of elevating employees within to their fullest potential in the company. I am proud to be part of their team. -Steve Gutierrez, Manager, Mackin’s Canby Auto Body, 1 ½ years employee What’s the Secret to the Magic? The truth is, we owe all of our success to the hard work and talents of our amazing team. At each of our 9 locations, we have a staff of talented, dedicated, and highly trained automotive gurus who love their jobs.

Every location has all the correct tooling and equipment to get any job done right the first time. We exclusively use OEM techniques and guidelines for every repair job, which means our customers know it’ll last. Our main priority is to provide complete, safe, and quality repairs to our customers, which has allowed us to become an I-CAR Gold Class designated business. What Sets Us Apart from the Competition?

Whether it’s the golf tournament, the holiday lunches or just stopping by to say hi. It’s like we are an extended family. I owe so much to the Mackin’s. They have stood by me from the beginning. Allowing me to grow in the company and make a great life for myself and my family. -Rick Howard, Body Technician, Mackin’s Longview Auto Body, 9 year employee More Than Just Mackin’s Mackin’s isn’t just an auto body shop. We believe in active community engagement and treating our customers and employees like family. Mackin’s actively donates to and works with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) in addition to several local charities and causes. Every year, our employees, vendors, and customers gather for fundraising events such as our annual JDRF/Mackin’s Auto Body Golf Tournament which has raised over $350,000.00 to help find a cure for Type 1 diabetes. I am grateful for the opportunity that Mackin’s Auto Body has given me. They have helped me see my full potential and value as an employee and have given me the chance to advance my knowledge in areas I was lacking by providing additional training and guidance when needed. -Carol Bagley, Accounts Payable, Mackin’s Corporate, 1 year employee Active Advancement for All Because we are always growing, we can provide the opportunity for advancement to all staff positions. We are always looking at our current employees for advance opportunities. For example, with hard work and dedication, you can start at a shop helper position and work your way up to a Body or Paint technician or even a Management position.

My Grandfather and Father both worked here and I’m proud to continue the tradition. -Jake Weeks, Lead Painter, Mackin’s Salmon Creek Auto Body, 11 year employee Our Company and the Community Despite existing for over 75 years and growing to 9 locations across Oregon/SW Washington, we still want to maintain a small, family-owned business vibe. Our owners are active employees and know every one of their colleagues. Most big-name auto body shop chains are run by corporate boards, managed from afar, and funded by out-of-state investment firms, but not Mackin’s. You know that a majority of the money made at Mackin’s goes directly back into benefiting the company and its workforce. Our success comes from years of happy customers who we call family. What doesn’t go back into the company, is donated to charities and schools to benefit the communities we love so much. I have been an employee of Mackin’s Auto Body for 3 years as an Admin Asst. The owners here at Mackin’s Auto Body lead by example and treat us with respect. -Laurie McKinney, Administrative Assistant, Mackin’s Hollywood Auto Body – 3 year employee Mackin’s Benefits Working at Mackin’s definitely has its benefits; great people, positive environment, and extensive training. We go above and beyond when it comes to caring for our staff. You’ll find that both our office job salaries and auto body technician salaries are competitive, and our benefits are comprehensive; we provide some of the best in the industry! 1 week PTO during first year Up to 3 weeks PTO during fifth year Medical and dental insurance Long term disability coverage 401k enrollment Holidays Industry training Overtime pay as needed and required by law At Mackin’s Auto Body, I’m not just a number but a person with a family who is working hard to provide for my family and continue a great name for Mackin’s in the industry. The owners not only care about their employees but also about what we produce for the company. We are a direct reflection of their standards and what we all want the car repair industry to be. They care that a car is fixed the right way and the family will be safe in their vehicle and want their employees to have that same value in their work. That’s the one thing I have never found in the industry until working at Mackin’s. They have trusted me to train new and upcoming body techs. I’ve worked in this industry for over 45 years. Mackin’s isn’t just a shop, it’s my second home, my extended family and right where I want to be. -Greg Farris, Body Technician, Mackin’s East Vancouver Auto Body, 4 year employee Join the Movement Apply today; meet the family!
