What changes the schedule
A targeted installation, full colour change or combined preparation project has different steps. Vehicle condition, coverage, disassembly and panel complexity can affect the allowance; similar models may still need different scopes.
Confirm a practical estimate
Agree what is included before setting a collection date. Inspection may reveal preparation needs that change the plan, and the estimate should allow for final checks and any product-specific early-care period.
Plan fleet availability
Fleet managers can reduce disruption by approving artwork early, inspecting vehicles before booking and staging work around operating needs. Keep collection windows and driver handover instructions clear if dates change.
- Confirm scope before reserving dates
- Allow for preparation and final checks
- Stage vehicles around operational demand

Can turnaround be confirmed from photographs alone?
Photographs can help an initial discussion, but inspection is more reliable because condition, panel complexity and preparation needs affect timing.
Does a larger vehicle always take longer?
Size matters, but condition, coverage, disassembly, curves, trims, finish and preparation can be equally important.
How can a fleet reduce downtime?
Use pre-inspections, approve artwork early and schedule vehicles in practical batches or stages around business operations.
