## Questions

### How far is the shop from Santa Ana?

About 17 miles. The facility is at 23281 E La Palma Ave in Yorba Linda, CA 92887, and the drive from central Santa Ana takes 22 to 35 minutes outside peak traffic. All work is performed at that facility, so a unit stays in one place from teardown through final quality control instead of moving between locations.

### What is the best route and the best time of day?

SR-55 north to SR-91 east is the standard run from Santa Ana, and it is fastest before 7:30 AM or between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. The 91 eastbound backs up hard from mid afternoon onward, so a driver leaving Santa Ana at 4:00 PM can easily double the drive time.

### Can several units be dropped at the same time?

Yes, with advance notice so bay and yard space is reserved. Dropping a group without notice usually means several units sit in a waiting state at once, which is the opposite of what most fleets want. Scheduling the sequence in advance also lets long lead parts be ordered before the units arrive.

### Can a unit be left overnight?

Yes. Units stay on the property through the repair, and overnight drop off is common for fleets that would rather move a vehicle after a route than during business hours. Arrange it in advance so the unit is expected, and leave the keys, the unit number and the claim or purchase order details with it.

### Can somebody follow a driver back to Santa Ana?

Yes, and that is how most fleets handle drop off. A second vehicle follows the unit in, the driver leaves the keys and paperwork at the counter, and both people head back together. A drop off scheduled first thing in the morning gets a crew back to Santa Ana well before mid morning traffic builds.

### How do we stage several units for a refleet?

As a rolling schedule rather than a single batch. Units come in on an agreed sequence so the fleet keeps enough vehicles working while the shop moves through the group, and each unit gets its color, graphics and numbering specification locked before the first one arrives. Plan the sequence weeks ahead for a full refleet.

### What should a driver bring at drop off?

Keys, the unit number, the claim number if a carrier is involved, and the purchase order number if the fleet requires one. A photo of the damage and the name of the person authorizing the repair help too. Anything valuable inside the cab or the cargo area should go back with the driver.

### Is the shop located in Santa Ana?

No. The facility is in Yorba Linda at 23281 E La Palma Ave, and Santa Ana is the primary market it serves. That distinction matters when a fleet is planning drop offs, because the drive is about 17 miles and 22 to 35 minutes each way rather than a trip across town.

### Can a unit be picked up outside business hours?

Pickup happens during posted hours, Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM, because the balance is due at pickup and no unit leaves the property until the invoice is paid in full. Saturday pickup is popular with Santa Ana fleets that cannot spare a weekday driver.

### Is there room to stage trailers and larger units?

Yes, with advance notice. Trailer and larger unit staging is arranged when the job is scheduled so the yard is laid out for it, which matters more on multi unit drops than on a single vehicle. Call the shop at (714) 909-1844 before bringing more than two units at once.

### What is the fastest drop off pattern for a Santa Ana fleet?

Arrive before 9:00 AM on a weekday with a chase vehicle, keys and paperwork ready at the counter. A unit documented and blueprinted that morning can be torn down the same day, which starts parts ordering a full day earlier. That single day compounds across every supplement and part order that follows.
