Reefer Refrigerated Truck Repair in Chino

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
