Commercial Truck and Fleet Repair Questions

Yes. Truck collision runs $1,500 to $50,000 and up. Cab body repair is $750 to $12,000, box and cargo body repair is $750 to $15,000, and floor repair is $500 to $9,500. We handle rear frame and door post damage, aluminum and FRP side panel replacement, roof repair, rub rail and corner post work, translucent roof panel replacement, and rotted or delaminated floors. Straight trucks up to 26 feet fit inside the building, and the booth takes a full length body.

Yes, and that is regular work here. Decal removal runs $400 to $3,000 per unit depending on age and adhesive, and fleet graphics and wrap runs $1,500 to $9,500. Vinyl baked onto a truck for eight years leaves adhesive and a ghost line, and on painted surfaces it leaves a shadow where the covered paint did not fade. That is why rebranding often means refinishing the panel rather than just re lettering it. Full refinish runs $5,000 to $30,000 per unit.

Yes, and we plan it that way by default. On a typical rebrand we run two units at a time, so you never lose more than 25 percent of an eight truck fleet, and we set the rotation around your delivery calendar rather than ours. Each unit gets a scheduled in and out date, and we hold parts and graphics on the shelf before a truck arrives so it is not sitting in a bay waiting on vinyl. Give us your slow days and we build around them.

Yes. Lift gate installation runs $1,500 to $8,500 depending on unit, capacity and how much frame reinforcement the chassis needs. We handle tuck under, rail and cantilever gates, including structural mounting plates, frame reinforcement where the manufacturer specifies it, hydraulic plumbing, and the electrical side with proper cable sizing, a solenoid and a battery feed that will not cook itself. We also repair existing gates: pumps, cylinders, controls and bent platforms. Mechanical and electrical labor is $260 per hour.

We perform inspection and evaluation work, document condition thoroughly, and handle the repairs an inspection turns up: brakes, lights, air lines, suspension, frame cracks, and door and body condition. Pre purchase and condition inspections run $400 to $1,200. For the federal annual inspection certification itself, use a certified inspector for that program and bring us the defect list. Most fleets we work with do exactly that: inspect elsewhere, repair here, because repair capacity is where the bottleneck actually sits.

That is the highest load and wettest corner on the whole body, so it is the usual failure point. Water gets past the door seal and the rub rail, sits in the sill, and takes out the floor edge, the crossmembers, the corner post and eventually the rear frame. We cut back to sound material, replace crossmembers and sill, rebuild the corner post, replace the floor section and reseal the threshold. Floor repair runs $500 to $9,500 and body repair $750 to $15,000.

Yes. The usual causes are bent or worn track, broken slat hinges, seized rollers, a failed counterbalance spring, or a rear frame tweaked in a dock impact so the opening is no longer square. We measure the opening first, because adjusting a door in an out of square frame is wasted labor. Then we replace slats, hinges, rollers, track and spring as needed and reset the latch and seal. Cargo body work runs $750 to $15,000 depending on how much frame is involved.

Yes. Cab body repair runs $750 to $12,000 and full refinish and repaint runs $5,000 to $30,000. The booth depth that lets us take a 45 foot coach also takes a sleeper cab comfortably, which is why we can spray a full unit in one cycle instead of masking and shooting it in halves. We handle fiberglass hood repair, aluminum and steel cab panels, bumper and fairing work, frame and structural correction, and fleet color matching across units that have aged differently.

We set up fleet accounts with a purchase order workflow, per unit invoicing so each truck cost tracks against your asset records, and a single point of contact for scheduling. Terms are arranged per account rather than posted, so call the shop at (949) 799-3387 and ask for fleet. Deposit structure on large multi unit projects gets negotiated up front instead of applied unit by unit. Card payments over $1,000 carry a 3.5 percent surcharge, so most fleet accounts settle by check or transfer.

Yes, and we do both riveted sheet and post bodies and bonded FRP panel bodies. On a sheet and post body we replace the damaged sheet, the post if it is bent, and the rivets to specification rather than patching over a crease. On a bonded panel body we cut the damaged section, scarf and bond a replacement with the correct structural adhesive and cure time, then refinish. We are set up for certified aluminum and steel welding, which matters because aluminum posts crack rather than bend.

We do the body and structural side: skin and panel damage, insulated panel repair where the foam core is crushed or wet, door frames and hinges, rub rails, corner posts, floors and drain channels, plus full refinish and graphics. Insulated panel damage matters more than it looks, because a crushed core loses R value and a wet core keeps gaining weight. We do not service the reefer unit itself, which belongs at a Thermo King or Carrier dealer. Body repair runs $750 to $15,000.

The building is 35,000 square feet, so realistically we carry several straight trucks in production simultaneously alongside the RV side of the shop, and a 26 foot box truck fits inside without difficulty. Rather than promising a raw unit count, we build fleet projects around a rotation, commonly two units at a time with scheduled in and out dates, so your capacity loss stays predictable. Tell us your fleet size and downtime tolerance and we will write a staged calendar.
