# Full Vehicle Collision Restoration in Chino > OCRV Center rebuilds severely damaged RVs and specialty vehicles from the structure up, restoring rigs that other shops call a total loss. The full restoration happens in shop in Yorba Linda, and we bill your insurance carrier direct through every stage. Some collisions go beyond a panel or a single system. A rollover, a fire, a major front-end impact, or years of stacked damage can leave a coach that needs to be rebuilt rather than patched. Full collision restoration is the deepest work we do, taking a rig back to the frame and bringing it forward through structure, body, paint, and systems until it is whole again. It all happens in our 35,000 square foot shop. ## When a coach needs full restoration Full restoration is for damage that touches almost everything, the kind of hit where the frame, the caps, multiple sidewalls, the slides, and the interior systems all need work. It is also the path for older or specialty coaches worth saving, where the goal is to rebuild the whole vehicle to a known-good standard rather than chase one repair at a time. This is the difference an in-house facility makes. Because our shop does structure, fabrication, fiberglass, paint, and systems under one roof, a rig that another shop would write off can be measured, rebuilt, and refinished in one place instead of being shuttled between vendors. - Rollover, fire, flood, and severe front-end or rear-end damage - Frame and chassis rebuilt and straightened to factory tolerance - Cap, sidewall, and roof structure replaced and re-laminated - Slide rooms, seals, wiring, and plumbing rebuilt and re-sealed - Full repaint and color match so the finished coach reads as one ## How we run a full restoration in shop A restoration is staged. We start with a complete teardown and a measured structural assessment, rebuild the frame and load paths, then move outward through caps, sidewalls, and roof, rebuild the slides and systems, and finish with bodywork and a full repaint in our downdraft booth. Each stage is documented so the work, and the insurance claim behind it, reflects the true scope. Because the scope is large, we set a realistic timeline up front and keep you updated as the rig moves stage to stage. The vehicle stays in our shop for the duration, from the first measurement to the final color sand. - Complete teardown and measured structural assessment first - Frame and structure rebuilt before any cosmetic work begins - Fiberglass, fabrication, and panel work all done in house - Systems rebuilt and tested before the coach is reassembled - Full repaint, color sand, and buff for a single continuous finish ## Frequently asked questions ### My insurance is calling my RV a total loss. Can it still be restored? Often yes. A total loss is an insurance valuation, not always a verdict on whether the rig can be rebuilt. Because we handle structure, fiberglass, paint, and systems in house, we can restore coaches that a general body shop would turn away. We assess the real scope and document it for your carrier so the decision is based on facts, not a guess. ### How long does a full collision restoration take? A full restoration is a multi-stage, multi-week project because it moves from frame to finish across structure, body, paint, and systems. We set a realistic timeline after the teardown and assessment, then keep you updated as the rig moves through each stage in our shop. The honest timeline depends on the size of the coach and the scope of the damage. ### Do you work with insurance on a full restoration? Yes. We bill direct with the major carriers and document every stage, from the initial structural assessment through supplements for damage uncovered during teardown. On a restoration the scope grows as we open the vehicle up, so thorough documentation is what keeps the claim accurate and the rebuild complete. --- Source: https://oc-rv.com/services/full-collision-restoration/ OCRV Center, 23281 La Palma Ave, Yorba Linda, CA 92887.
