Cargo Van Body Repair Serving Placentia, California

We remove the shelving in sections, tag each unit and its hardware, and photograph the layout before the first bolt comes out. When it goes back, it goes back to the same holes in the same order, because a driver who has to relearn where the fittings live loses time every day for a month.

The partition bulkhead often comes out too. It bolts to the roof, the floor and both sides, so it fights any attempt to pull or push a side panel back to shape. Existing through holes get sealed properly on reinstall so the cargo area does not start taking water at the floor line.

Rear doors that will not latch are usually a hinge and striker problem rather than a latch problem. We check the hinge pins, the mounting surface, the door skin at the hinge reinforcement and the body opening itself, then reset both doors so the center seal compresses evenly and the weather strip stops chewing.

Long side panels get straightened to the metal. A crease across a flat, lightly crowned panel shows every wave, so we work it back with the right combination of pulling, shrinking and blocking, then check the surface under raking light before primer. Filling a crease on a cargo van side is how you get a panel that looks fine in the shop and terrible in daylight.

Cargo floors and liners take their own abuse. We repair or replace floor sections, reseal the seams and refit plywood or composite liner so it sits flat, because a lifted liner edge catches load and pulls fasteners out of the floor within weeks.

We pull the paint code, measure the actual panel, select the correct variant and shoot a sprayout before committing to the van. Adjacent panels are blended rather than hard edged at a body line, so the repair reads as one continuous side rather than one bright door in the middle of a weathered van.

Graphics are coordinated as part of the job. Existing vinyl is removed from panels being refinished, and we schedule reinstallation with your wrap shop or supply the panel dimensions so replacement graphics are cut to the correct size before the van is finished and sitting.
