Bus and Municipal Fleet Body Repair in Yorba Linda

Upfit equipment and procurement. The equipment is frequently worth a large share of the vehicle value and is safety critical, so it gets catalogued during removal and verified operational after reinstallation rather than just refitted.

Procurement means purchase orders, documented scope and per unit invoicing so each vehicle tracks against its own cost centre. Published labor rates help considerably here, because an auditable rate card is far easier for a department to defend than a shop assertion.

• Emergency lighting and siren systems, $400 to $3,500
• Partitions, cages and prisoner transport fittings

• Full refinish and department livery, $5,000 to $30,000

Sequenced against service delivery rather than against cost. An engine or an ambulance out of service is a coverage gap for the department, so we agree what has to stay running before work starts and stage accordingly.

Where a department has a spare unit, work goes faster because we can take a vehicle properly. Where it does not, we split the job into phases that leave the vehicle serviceable in between wherever that is possible.

School and transit buses, shuttle and paratransit vehicles, fire engines, ambulances, police vehicles, tow trucks, refuse trucks, street sweepers, utility and bucket trucks, snow plows, water and sewer maintenance vehicles, traffic signal trucks and parks maintenance vehicles.

Each has its own page covering what actually fails on it and what the body work involves.
