FAST turnaround on the tractor trailer

Not all auto body paint jobs take less than a week to do, but this big rig was in and out of the shop in only FOUR business days. The customer was on a tight deadline and needed his truck back quick, and luckily, the timing was right for us, so we were able to get it done in record time. It took a lot of sanding (there is a lot of surface area on this thing!) and prep to get it ready, including some fiberglass repairs to some holes in the body. Tim painted it Friday afternoon so it could set over the weekend. This morning, we took care of final assembly for the parts we took off and gave it a good wash. All before noon on Monday! Not many ...

Freightliner ready for paint

The auto body work is all done on the big rig. The Freightliner tractor trailer is now all sanded, masked off, prepped and ready for paint! This was definitely a quick job; in on Wednesday, painted by Friday, and the customer will be able to pick it up on Monday. This was a full paint job with some minor auto body work, specifically fiberglass repairs to a couple holes on the cab. With over a million miles on this big rig, it deserved some TLC in the ways of minor repairs and fresh paint to keep it looking brand new again. For obvious height reasons, this paint job is going to be done outside like you see pictured rather than inside in the ...

Big rig: Paint and body work repairs, Turnaround time: 1 Week

We don't necessarily go out of our way to get these huge trucks in the shop (mainly because they don't fit all the way in), but these big rigs seem to be finding us these days! We have another Freightliner tractor trailer with a large sleeper cab in for some body work repairs and then an all-white paint job. It sure is a big paint job. Today is sanding, masking and dismantling day. And because we always love a challenge and making sure our customers are getting taken care of, and leave 100% happy, Tim is going to get this job done in less than a week! I'm telling you, turnaround time for this place is QUICK. Check back next week for the ...

Fiberglass repairs on the big rig

This is probably the biggest rig to come into the shop! And with the exhaust stacks, it doesn't even fit all the way inside. This Freightliner tractor trailer is in for some fiberglass repair work for some small cracks and holes in the body, and then painted back to original color. It belongs to a customer we have done a classic car restoration for in the past, and she continues to bring us all of her vehicles for any body work that is needed. We don't typically work on trucks this big, but when it comes to special requests, if Tim can do it, he will. Luckily, most of the work is in the front end, because that is all that will fit through the ...
