Fire Engine Body and Collision Repair in Chino
OCRV Center repairs fire engine and apparatus collision and body damage in Chino, with the documentation municipal fire fleets require and carrier billing handled direct.
A fire engine is a working apparatus body wrapped in compartments, roll-up doors, and hard reflective striping, all built to exacting standards. When a backing incident dents a compartment or a roll-up door jams, the rig cannot answer a call. Chino and area fire departments bring us apparatus that needs standard-correct body and refinish work. Our Yorba Linda shop has the ceiling height, the lift, and the documentation to take a full engine.
Fire engine repairs we handle
The compartments and roll-up doors are the parts that take daily wear and collision damage, so they get most of our attention. We repair dented compartment boxes, rebuild or replace roll-up and swing doors, and true the openings so latches and seals line up. Cab body and structural repair follow the apparatus standard so the rig stays sound.

Refinish and reflective markings
Fire apparatus wears a specific color and a chevron and reflective marking package that has to be reapplied exactly after body work. We refinish to the department color, then lay out the reflective striping and unit numbers to spec so the rig reads factory and stays visible on scene. Every repair is documented for the apparatus file the department keeps.

- Chevron and reflective striping layout
- Unit number and lettering reapplication
- Apparatus file documentation
Frequently asked questions
Can you repair collision damage on a fire engine?+
Yes. We handle cab body, compartment, paint, and structural repair on fire apparatus to standard, with the documentation municipal departments require. From a backing dent to a full corner hit, we rebuild the body and reapply the reflective markings so the rig returns ready to run.
Do you repair apparatus compartments and roll-up doors?+
Yes. We rebuild dented compartment boxes, refit or replace roll-up and swing doors, and square the openings so latches and gaskets seat properly. A binding roll-up usually means the frame is out of square, so we straighten the opening before refitting the door.
Do you bill insurance for fire engine repair?+
Yes. We bill carriers direct on fire apparatus collision claims and provide the itemized documentation a municipal department keeps in the apparatus file. Because the striping and marking package is part of the standard, we list the refinish and reflective work as its own line.
