FAQ Questions
Pricing questions
How much does commercial fleet body repair cost in Santa Ana
Body and paint labor runs $210 per hour, electrical and accessory work $260 per hour, and diagnostic or calibration time $285 per hour. A light cosmetic panel repair typically lands between $400 and $4,500. A structural job with frame work runs $2,200 to $18,000. Full unit refinishing runs $5,000 to $30,000.
Why do you publish your rates when nobody else does
Because a fleet manager building next year's maintenance budget cannot plan against a shop that will not quote until the unit is on the hoist. Publishing rates costs us nothing and saves you a phone call. Every figure on this page is the same figure that appears on a written estimate.
Is the estimate free
No. Estimates are scheduled rather than walk up. A systems estimate is $150 and an in depth diagnostic is one hour at $285. Both are credited as a line item against an authorized repair, so if you proceed with the work the estimate effectively costs nothing.
What deposit do you take on a fleet job
Jobs above $2,000 take a 50 percent deposit at authorization. Jobs above $10,000 take an additional 25 percent when parts arrive. The balance is due at pickup. No unit leaves the property until the invoice is settled.
Do you take purchase orders and net terms
Yes on an established fleet account. Send the purchase order with the request and note the terms you need. New accounts typically start on deposit terms and move to net 30 after the first completed job.
How is tax calculated on a repair invoice
Sales tax of 7.75 percent applies to parts and materials. Labor is not taxed in California. Paint supplies are billed at $55 per paint hour and body supplies at $5 per body hour, both calculated automatically on the written estimate.
Is there a surcharge for paying by card
A 3.5 percent surcharge applies to card payments above $1,000. It is a direct pass through of the merchant fee on high ticket transactions. Check and ACH carry no surcharge.
