For years, Robert worked as a mobile repair specialist for dealerships, setting up on their lots every week. Doing it on site meant more volume and lower cost than sending each car to a shop with high overhead. That's still how he works with businesses today.
He's open to more dealership work, and he'd like to get back into fleet work. If you run a fleet of cars, vans, or trucks, or manage a lot full of inventory, he can come to you and work through the list.
Multi-vehicle days on site
Instead of sending vehicles out one at a time, Robert sets up at your location and repairs several in a day: bumper scuffs and cracks, scratches, chips, mirror caps, and cloudy headlights. Most individual repairs take under three hours, so a full day covers a lot of ground.
He needs room for his truck and trailer, access to power, and a spot that isn't in a parking deck. Office parks and business lots can work well with the building's permission.
“You can go up there and set up and knock out multiple cars in a day.”
Dealership work
Robert has painted parking-sensor bumpers for a Volvo dealership for 15 years without a comeback. The same dealership asks him to go around customers' cars and hide blemishes before lease inspections.
For dealers, that means reconditioning used inventory, cleaning up lot damage, and preparing customer cars before turn-in, without tying up your body shop or sending cars off site.
“I've been painting sensors at Volvo for 15 years. I've never had one come back saying it was too thick.”
Working at an office park or workplace
Robert would set up at an office park or a workplace for a day to repair several employees' or company vehicles. Building security can be wary of someone masking and painting a car in the parking lot, so it works best when the property manager knows he's coming.
“It's a lot of jumping through hoops with building security.”
What stays with a body shop
Structural and collision damage, metal dent repair, hail, mechanical problems, and anything that needs a new bumper cover go to a body shop or your mechanic. Robert will flag those vehicles from the photos so you can route them right away.

What affects a fleet & dealership repair result
- How many vehicles and how much damage per vehicle.
- Space, power, and access at your location.
- The weather, since painting stops for rain, snow, and freezing temperatures.
When fleet & dealership repair isn't the right fix
- Structural, collision, and frame damage
- Metal dents and hail
- Mechanical, electrical, and safety-system repairs
- Bumpers that need replacing
- Insurance-claim estimates
A full-service body shop or your fleet's mechanic handles these. Robert works alongside them by taking the cosmetic list off their plate.
How long fleet & dealership repair takes
Most individual repairs take under three hours, so several vehicles can be done in a day on site.
