OCRV Center repairs snow plow and combination dump trucks in shop in Yorba Linda, from plow-mount frontal damage to steel dump-bed repair and heavy corrosion treatment, with full refinish. Insurance is billed direct.
A snow plow truck is a heavy-duty dump or service chassis carrying a front plow mount and often a spreader body, and the work loads the front frame and rusts the whole truck from road salt. Collision and plow-strike damage concentrates at the front, and the steel body and frame corrode hard. We repair the cab, the plow-mount area, and the dump or spreader body, and treat the corrosion, all in shop and never out on a route.
Plow-mount frontal damage and frame loads
The front plow mount bolts to the frame horns and carries enormous load when the blade catches a curb, a manhole, or a buried obstacle under snow, and that shock transfers straight back into the frame rails and front clip. We inspect and repair the front frame and the plow-mount attachment area, straighten the front clip and cab corners, and verify the frame is true, because a frame tweaked by a hard plow strike will not carry the blade square afterward. We repair the structure and the mounting points; the plow blade and hydraulics are serviced by your equipment provider.
These trucks also take ordinary collision damage on the cab and fenders, and the combination of a heavy front blade and a loaded spreader puts unusual stress on the front structure. We set the truck up to measure and pull the front frame and clip back to spec, then rebuild and refinish the body panels so the truck reads straight and carries its gear square again.

Dump and spreader body repair, salt corrosion, and refinish
Nothing rusts a truck like road salt and brine, so plow and spreader trucks corrode aggressively at the bed seams, the spreader body, the rocker panels, and the frame. We cut out and replace rotted steel in the dump bed, spreader, and body panels, treat and prime the bare metal, and refinish so the repair actually stops the corrosion rather than trapping it under fresh paint. We straighten dented dump-bed sides, tailgates, and spreader walls and rebuild the edges that take the load.
Municipal and DOT fleets need a uniform, identifiable look and clean records, so we color-match the agency or company colors, refinish the cab and body to match, and mask around or reinstall lettering, unit numbers, and the reflective and amber-warning markings these trucks carry. Every repair is photo-documented with itemized parts and labor and billed direct to the carrier or the fleet account.

Frequently asked questions
The plow caught a curb and the front end is pushed in. Can you repair the frame and mount?+
Yes. The plow mount bolts to the frame horns and transfers a huge shock load back into the frame rails when the blade catches a fixed object. We inspect and repair the front frame and the plow-mount attachment area, measure and pull the front clip back to spec, and verify the frame is true so the truck carries the blade square again. We repair the structure and mounting points; the blade and hydraulics stay with your equipment provider.
Road salt has rusted out my dump bed and spreader. Do you do that work?+
Yes. Salt and brine corrode plow and spreader trucks aggressively at the bed seams, spreader body, rockers, and frame. We cut out and replace the rotted steel, treat and prime the bare metal, and refinish so the repair stops the corrosion instead of sealing it under fresh paint. We also straighten dented bed sides, tailgates, and spreader walls and rebuild the load-bearing edges.
Can you match our municipal fleet colors and warning markings?+
Yes. We color-match your agency or company colors, refinish the cab and body to match, and mask around or reinstall lettering, unit numbers, and the reflective and amber-warning markings these trucks are required to carry. Every repair is photo-documented with itemized parts and labor and billed direct to the carrier or your fleet account.
