Why You Need a Specialty Shop for Van Body Work

If you've got a cargo van, camper van, or fleet vehicle that needs body work, you already know it’s not exactly fitting into your average garage. These things are tall. And wide. And long. And most body shops just aren’t set up to handle that.

That’s where having a shop with large bays and tall paint booths makes all the difference.

Size Matters (A Lot)

Standard auto body shops are built for regular passenger vehicles. But when you roll in with a high-roof Sprinter or an extended Ford Transit, suddenly the game changes. Without extra-tall ceilings and oversized paint booths, a shop simply can’t get your van inside, let alone repaired and painted properly. You can’t exactly buff out a dent on a roof you can’t reach.

At Colorado Fleetworks, we’ve got two of the tallest paint booths in the Denver metro area, and bays built to handle high-roof vans and larger fleet vehicles. That means we can take care of everything from basic fender repair to full panel replacements and full-body paint jobs, no weird workarounds or sketchy corner cutting.

Vans Have More Going On

The other thing with van body repair is that it’s rarely as simple as “pop off the bumper and replace it.” If your van’s a camper, you might have cabinets, plumbing, wiring, or custom panels in the way. If it’s a work van, you’ve probably got shelving, racks, or tool systems built in.

A shop that knows vans understands how to remove interior components without destroying your setup. We know how to get the job done while protecting the stuff you’ve built around it.

Paint Jobs That Actually Work

Painting a van isn’t just about matching color. It’s about space. You need the kind of airflow, ventilation, and vertical clearance that a shop with oversized booths can provide. Trying to spray a tall van in a short booth is a no-go. You’ll get overspray, inconsistent coats, or worse, a job that peels or fades in a few months.

With our equipment, we can get that even, factory-quality finish no matter the size of your van.

Bottom Line

If you’ve got a van that needs body work, don’t waste your time at a shop that isn’t built for it. Find a place that actually has the right equipment, knows how to work with large vehicles, and respects the setups inside them.

At Colorado Fleetworks, we’re set up to handle everything from Transit Connects to high-roof Sprinters, and we do it every day. If your van needs body work in the Denver area, we’re ready when you are.
