Range: $285 to $800 Collision estimates for insurance claim walk-ins carry no charge. Systems estimates are $150 and diagnostics are $285 per hour, both credited against an authorized repair. ## What a seller does not volunteer Undisclosed previous structural repair, water damage inside a wall, and corrosion under a fresh coat of paint are the three things that turn a good deal into an expensive one, and none of them show on a walkaround. We inspect for evidence of repair work, sound panels for delamination and water damage, check frame and structure, and assess upfit equipment condition. You get a written report you can negotiate with. - Evidence of previous structural or collision repair - Frame and structural condition assessment - Corrosion inspection including underbody - Water intrusion and delamination sounding - Panel, paint and glass condition - Upfit equipment condition assessment - Written report with photographs ## Questions **Does this include mechanical inspection?** No. This is a body and structural inspection. Engine and drivetrain assessment is outside our scope and should be done separately by a mechanical shop. **How long does it take?** Two to four hours for most commercial vehicles, and you get a written report with photographs. **Can you inspect several units we are considering?** Yes. When buying a batch from one seller it is common to inspect a sample, and we will tell you if what we find suggests inspecting all of them. --- OCRV Fleet Repair Shop, 23281 E La Palma Ave, Yorba Linda, CA 92887.
