Key Considerations in Commercial Collision Repair

Commercial vehicles require different repair strategies than passenger cars. Repairs often involve larger frames, specialty components, and more complex logistics. Facilities like DeVivo Collision are built to meet these demands, with the physical space, equipment, and trained technicians necessary to manage large-scale commercial repairs.

Features such as downdraft paint booths and heavy-duty frame straighteners enable high-quality work on oversized vehicles. In-house fabrication capabilities further reduce downtime by allowing technicians to repair or recreate parts that may be difficult to source quickly from manufacturers.

Reducing Fleet Downtime

For fleet operators, minimizing vehicle downtime is essential. Delays in repairs can disrupt schedules, reduce service capacity, and increase operational costs. Establishing a relationship with a commercial repair center like DeVivo Collision before an incident occurs can help address these issues by streamlining processes such as insurance coordination, parts availability, and repair timelines.

In addition to collision-related damage, many fleets use downtime for body maintenance, rebranding, or full vehicle refurbishment. Addressing cosmetic repairs, decal replacements, or full resprays during planned service windows can help maintain brand standards without taking vehicles off the road unexpectedly.

Fleet-focused collision repair requires more than standard bodywork—it calls for specialized equipment, experienced technicians, and a clear understanding of the business impact of vehicle downtime. As part of the broader DATTCO family, DeVivo Collision Centers supports commercial operators with the infrastructure and expertise needed to keep vehicles in service and operations running smoothly.
