Police Vehicle Body Repair in Yorba Linda
Police vehicle work is dominated by upfit equipment rather than body panels. Partitions, prisoner transport fittings, equipment consoles and lighting all have to come out for a body repair and go back correctly, and that is most of the labor.
A patrol vehicle carries an enormous amount of fitted equipment relative to its size. Partition, consoles, radios, lighting, weapon mounts and prisoner transport fittings.
On a body repair, removing and correctly refitting all of that is frequently more labor than the panel work itself.
Why does upfit dominate the labor?
Because it all has to come out and go back, catalogued, with wiring reconnected and function verified. A rear quarter repair on a patrol vehicle means the partition, the rear seat assembly, the prisoner transport fittings and the associated wiring all come out first.
Doing that properly is the difference between a vehicle that returns to service and one that returns with a radio that does not work and a partition that rattles.

How is turnaround handled on patrol vehicles?
Fast where possible, because a department running short of marked units has an operational problem. Cosmetic and minor body work is days. Structural work is longer and we say so immediately.
Where a department has a spare, work goes faster. Where it does not, we prioritise getting the vehicle serviceable and schedule cosmetic work separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle police upfit equipment?
Yes. Partitions, prisoner transport fittings, consoles and lighting are removed, catalogued, refitted and verified operational. That is frequently most of the labor on a patrol vehicle repair.
Can you refinish in department livery?
Yes. Refinish plus department graphics and lettering, with graphics running $1,500 to $9,500 depending on complexity.
How fast can you turn a patrol vehicle?
Cosmetic and minor body work in days. Structural work in weeks. We prioritise getting the vehicle serviceable and can schedule cosmetic work separately if coverage is short.
Do you install push bumpers and guards?
Yes. Guard and push bumper mounting runs in the same range as headache racks at $750 to $3,500, mounted into frame structure rather than into bodywork.
