Fleet & Commercial Programs
One account, one contact and a schedule built around your operation — covering collision, structural, blasting, paint and appearance work across your whole fleet.
Body and paint should not be an emergency
Most fleets handle the body side reactively. A unit gets hit, somebody phones around, it goes wherever there is space, and it comes back whenever it comes back. That works until three units are damaged in the same month and there is no capacity anywhere in the city.
A managed program moves the predictable part of that work onto a schedule and gives the unpredictable part a shop that already knows your fleet, your colours and your paperwork. It is the difference between a supplier and a plan.
What we cover
- Collision and structural — cab, hood, fairing, frame and rollover repair on tractors, vocational trucks and buses
- Trailers — skins, cross members, rear frames, doors, decking and full refinish across vans, reefers, flat decks and specialised units
- Frame and chassis — measured straightening, sectioning and alignment with a documented before-and-after report
- Blasting and coating — year-round media blasting on frames, decks, tanks and equipment, primed immediately so the preparation is not wasted
- Paint, livery and compliance markings — fleet colour standards held on file, lettering, unit numbering, NSC and DOT markings
- New-unit preparation — branding and marking before the truck enters service, which is the cheapest time to do it
How a program is built
We start with a survey, usually at your yard because that is faster than moving units. Every truck and trailer is graded for body condition, coating condition and marking compliance, and you get a written picture of the fleet with a recommended priority order.
From there we agree how many units can realistically be off the road at once, and we schedule cycles around your seasonal peaks rather than ours. Your colour standard, livery layout and marking requirements go on file so any unit that arrives — planned or after a collision — is handled without re-establishing the basics every time.
What it changes
Scheduled work costs less than emergency work for the same reason planned maintenance does: parts are ordered ahead, the bay is booked, and nobody is paying a premium for urgency. Consolidated invoicing and per-unit cost history also give you something most fleets do not currently have — actual numbers on what body and appearance work is costing you, by unit.
The second effect shows up at resale and at the roadside. A fleet with sound coatings and correct markings holds value better and gives inspectors less to look at.
No long lock-in
We put the scope, the schedule and the rates in writing so both sides know exactly what has been agreed. There is no multi-year commitment. The arrangement continues because it is working, which is the only reason it should.
The program
From survey to standing account
Fleet survey
We come to your yard and grade every unit for body, coating and marking condition.
Priority plan
A written picture of the fleet with a recommended order of work and indicative costs.
Scheduled cycles
Units cycled through in waves so you always keep a working number on the road.
Ongoing account
Priority scheduling for collision damage, consolidated invoicing, annual review.
Fleet FAQ
Questions fleet managers ask
How many units do we need to run to make this worthwhile?
There is no minimum. Small fleets often benefit most because they have the least slack — losing two units at once out of eight hurts more than losing two out of eighty.
Do you work with self-insured fleets?
Yes. We can work against an insurer's authorisation or against your internal purchase order process, and we document thoroughly either way because commercial claims involve more parties than a passenger claim.
Can you come to our yard?
For surveys, yes, and it is usually the fastest way to grade a fleet. Some minor work can be done on site; we will be straight about what is better done in the shop.
What if a unit gets damaged outside the schedule?
That is exactly what the account is for. Program units get priority scheduling for collision damage, and we already have your colours and layout on file, which removes a day from the front of the job.
How is it invoiced?
Consolidated, in a format you specify, with per-unit cost records so you can see what each truck and trailer is actually costing you over time.
