Overview
Many commercial vehicles still work well long after they have stopped looking the part. Refurbishment improves the presentation of tired, weathered or previously repaired trucks and commercial vehicles so they can keep working for the business — or be prepared for sale.
Because condition varies so much from one vehicle to the next, photographs or an inspection are usually needed before a scope can be confirmed. We agree which areas are refinished and which are left as they are, so the result matches what was quoted.
What refurbishment can include
- Inspection of the current condition, including previous repairs
- Agreeing which areas are refinished and which are left as they are
- Preparation and refinishing to the agreed standard
- Refinishing of chassis areas, where confirmed in the scope
- A clear scope so the result matches what was quoted
Suitable for
- Older trucks and commercial vehicles still in daily service
- Vehicles with mismatched panels from earlier repairs
- Vehicles being prepared for sale or a longer service life
- Prime movers, rigid trucks, trailers and vans
Why operators refurbish rather than replace
- The vehicle still works well but no longer presents well
- Previous repairs are visible against the surrounding paintwork
- The vehicle is being prepared for sale or reassignment
What to send for a quote
- Photographs of the whole vehicle and of any problem areas
- Details of any earlier repairs you know about
- The result you are aiming for
- Whether the vehicle can be off the road, and for how long
How the Job Runs
Photograph the whole vehicle
Include every side and close-ups of the problem areas, and tell us the result you are aiming for.
Inspection
Refurbishment scopes usually need an inspection so previous repairs and surface condition can be assessed.
Written scope and quotation
The quotation lists the areas to be refinished and the areas to be left as they are.
Scheduling and handover
Once the scope is approved, we confirm how long the vehicle needs to be off the road and the handover arrangements.

Common Questions
Is refurbishment the same as a full respray?
Not always. A refurbishment scope can include a full respray, or refinish only the areas that need it. The quotation lists exactly which areas are included.
Do you need to inspect the vehicle?
Usually, yes. Condition varies so much between vehicles that photographs alone are rarely enough to confirm a refurbishment scope.
How long will the vehicle be off the road?
It depends on the scope and condition. Scheduling is confirmed once the scope is approved, so time off the road is planned with you rather than assumed.
