# Construction Company Fleet Repair > Construction vehicles are not usually damaged in accidents. They are damaged by the work: material loading, site access, tool boxes taking impacts, bodies flexing under loads they were rated for but not designed to enjoy. The schedule that matters is the project schedule, and it moves for nothing.

Serving Tustin, California. ## What does job site damage look like? Cumulative, structural and concentrated in the working areas. A [utility truck](/vehicles/buses-fleet/utility-truck-repair/) comes in with compartment doors that no longer align, because the body has racked slightly from being loaded unevenly a thousand times. A [dump truck](/vehicles/commercial-heavy/dump-truck-repair/) comes in with a body that has taken a rock strike from the inside, which is a very different repair from a rock strike from the outside. Compartment and baggage door repair runs $200 to $1,800, service body and utility body install runs $2,500 to $15,000, and toolbox and crane body install runs $1,500 to $10,000. Headache rack and cab guard install runs $750 to $3,500 and is a repair that frequently follows a load shift nobody reported. The pattern to watch is doors and drawers. On a service body, alignment is the diagnostic. Doors that bind, latches that need a shove and drawers that will not run are telling you the body is moving relative to the frame, and that is a mounting and structural conversation rather than a hinge conversation. ## Why does rust matter more here than anywhere else? Because construction vehicles carry things that eat metal and then sit outside. Concrete, aggregate, fertiliser, road salt off a delivery, wet timber, and whatever came off the last site all end up in the same compartments and stay there. Rust treatment and anti corrosion coating runs $400 to $3,500. Against that, panel replacement, floor repair at $500 to $9,500 and body replacement are large numbers. There is no category on this site where preventive coating has a better return, and there is no category where it gets deferred more reliably. Bedliner and box liner spray in runs $500 to $1,800 and does the same job on load surfaces. On a dump body, a liner is the difference between a body that lasts a decade and a body that develops thin spots where the material always lands. Get the compartments emptied and washed before you bring the truck. Half the corrosion assessment on a service body is impossible with the boxes full, and we will not empty your tools for you. ## How do you schedule against a project? By finding the gap rather than the deadline. Construction fleets have a rhythm that other commercial customers do not: there are days between phases, weekends when a site is closed, and stretches where a specific truck genuinely is not needed even though the project is running. Those gaps are where the work goes. A fleet that tells us the phase calendar gets its trucks repaired in the gaps and never loses a working day. A fleet that calls when something breaks gets whatever the queue allows. Where a truck must come out mid project, the triage is the same as anywhere: safety and function first, then load capability, then appearance. A crane body with a compromised mount is down immediately regardless of the schedule, and we will say so. Upfit work belongs in the gaps too. Service bodies, tool boxes, headache racks, ladder racks, hitch and pintle installs at $500 to $3,500 and E track at $250 to $2,500 are all better done in a planned window than bolted on in a hurry. ## What about trucks that carry other people's equipment? Liability and documentation get more interesting. A truck carrying subcontractor tools, rented equipment or client material has more than one party with an interest when something is damaged, and the shop file becomes evidence whether anybody intended it to or not. So we photograph what is present, what is damaged and what is merely adjacent, before anything is touched. That is standard practice here on every commercial file and it costs nothing. What it prevents is a dispute two months later about whether the dent in the toolbox was there on arrival. If a claim is involved, name every interested party at intake: the carrier, the lienholder, the equipment owner and the general contractor if one is involved. Files stall far more often over who is owed the payment than over what the repair should be. The [insurance section](/insurance/) covers the mechanics. ## What is included - Body to frame mounting checked whenever doors or drawers are binding - Corrosion assessment with compartments open, photographed and mapped - Load surface and liner condition reported on dump and flatbed bodies - Photographs of equipment present on arrival, before any work begins - Upfit and repair combined into one visit wherever the schedule allows ## Questions ### Can you install a service body on a chassis we already own? Yes. Service body and utility body installs run $2,500 to $15,000 and toolbox and crane body installs $1,500 to $10,000. Bring the chassis and the body specification together, because the mounting design depends on frame section, wheelbase and what you intend to carry. ### Our dump body has thin spots. Is that repairable? Usually, by sectioning and replating rather than replacing the whole body, provided the structural members underneath are sound. What decides it is the floor and side supports, not the sheet. Bring it empty and washed so the assessment can actually see the metal. ### Do you do welding and fabrication for one off requirements? Yes, it is a standing part of the work here. Custom brackets, racks, guards, mounts and repairs to fabricated items are quoted from the job rather than from a catalogue, and a broken original is the best possible starting reference. ### How do we handle a truck that is needed back tomorrow? Tell us that on the call rather than at drop off. Some repairs are genuinely a day, particularly door, latch, lighting, rack and mounting work that needs no booth time. Body and paint work is limited by booth throughput and no amount of urgency changes cure times. ## Related - [Utility Trucks](https://ocrv.biz/vehicles/buses-fleet/utility-truck-repair/) - [Dump Trucks](https://ocrv.biz/vehicles/commercial-heavy/dump-truck-repair/) - [Welding and Metal Fabrication](https://ocrv.biz/services/custom-fabrication/welding-metal-fabrication/) - [Frame and Structural Repair](https://ocrv.biz/services/frame-structural-repair/) - [Commercial and Business](https://ocrv.biz/who-we-help/commercial-business/) - [Prices and Posted Rates](https://ocrv.biz/prices/)
