# Reefer Refrigerated Truck Repair in Chino > OCRV Center repairs reefer refrigerated trucks in Chino, from punctured insulated panels and water-logged foam core to interior liners, door seals, and full collision work, with carrier billing handled direct. A reefer body is an insulated box: FRP or aluminum skins bonded over a polyurethane or polystyrene foam core, with a seamless interior liner and tightly sealed doors that together hold the thermal envelope. A puncture, a corner crush, or a cracked liner does more than dent the box, it lets water into the foam core and bleeds cold air, so the repair has to restore the seal, not just the surface. We do this work in our Yorba Linda shop. ## Reefer truck repairs we handle When a reefer body is hit, the damage we worry about is the foam core. A puncture or a crushed corner crushes the insulation and opens a path for moisture, and once water saturates the foam, that section loses its R-value and adds dead weight. We cut out and replace the damaged sandwich panel section, dry or replace the wet core, and rebond the FRP or aluminum skin so the thermal envelope is closed again. Inside, we repair the seamless liner and scuff liner so there are no cracks for water or contamination to sit in, and we rebuild the rear and side door seals, hinges, and frames so the doors close tight and hold temperature. We also handle the cab and exterior collision body work and refinish, then reapply graphics so the unit reads factory. - Punctured and crushed insulated sandwich panel section replacement - Wet foam core dry-out or replacement to restore R-value - Interior liner and scuff liner crack repair - Door seal, hinge, frame, and threshold repair for a tight close - Cab and exterior collision body repair and refinish ## Seal the envelope, not just the surface On a reefer, a panel that looks patched but lets air or water through still costs you on every load. We trace the damage past the skin into the core, replace what is wet or crushed, and rebond and seal so the panel holds temperature the way it left the factory. We repair the insulated body, the liner, the doors, and the collision damage plus refinish. We do not service the refrigeration unit, compressor, or its controls. - Core inspected and replaced where moisture has intruded - Panels rebonded and sealed to close the thermal envelope - Body, liner, door, and refinish only, not the reefer unit itself ## Frequently asked questions ### A corner of my reefer box is punctured. Why can't you just patch it? Because the damage is not only the skin. A puncture crushes the foam core and lets water in, and wet foam loses its insulating value. We cut out the damaged sandwich panel section, dry or replace the core, and rebond the skin so the panel holds temperature again instead of just looking sealed. ### Can you repair the interior liner and door seals on a reefer truck? Yes. We repair the seamless interior liner and scuff liner so there are no cracks, and we rebuild the door seals, hinges, and frames so the doors close tight and hold cold air. A loose door seal bleeds temperature on every run. ### Do you service the refrigeration unit on a reefer truck? No. We repair the insulated body, the liner, the doors, and the collision and refinish work. We do not service the refrigeration unit, compressor, or controls. We bill your carrier direct on the body and collision repair. --- Source: https://oc-rv.com/vehicles/reefer-truck-repair/ OCRV Center, 23281 La Palma Ave, Yorba Linda, CA 92887. Phone (949) 799-3387.
