Numbers that can be checked

35,000 sq ft

Facility under one roof

OCRV Center works out of a 35,000 square foot building at 23281 La Palma Ave in Yorba Linda. Body, structural, paint, systems, fabrication and detail all share the same floor, so a coach does not get shuttled between subcontractors while a claim sits open and the calendar keeps moving.

$210/hr

Body and paint labour

The posted body and paint rate at OCRV Center covers collision, structural, fiberglass, refinish and body panel work. It is published rather than quoted per caller, which means an estimate can be checked line by line against the rate card before anyone authorises a single hour of the repair.

$260/hr

Mechanical and electrical labour

OCRV Center posts a separate mechanical and electrical rate for 12V and 120V systems, generators, plumbing, appliances, leveling and suspension work. Splitting the rate from body labour keeps a systems repair from being billed at a refinish rate, and it makes a mixed job legible on the invoice.

$285/hr

Diagnostics, scan and programming

Instrumented diagnostic time at OCRV Center is billed at $285 per hour with a one hour minimum, and that hour is credited against an authorised repair. Intermittent faults, parasitic draws and control module problems get measured on equipment rather than guessed at across a sequence of parts swaps.

$95/hr

Detail and reconditioning labour

Interior and exterior reconditioning, paint correction and ceramic application are billed at the posted detail rate at OCRV Center. Keeping detail on its own rate is what allows an oxidised gelcoat coach to be corrected and coated for a fraction of what a refinish would have cost the owner.

$55 per paint hour

Paint supplies formula

Paint materials at OCRV Center are calculated as $55 multiplied by paint hours rather than dropped in as a flat line. Primer, sealer, base, clear, reducer, activator, masking and booth consumables all scale with the size of the refinish, so a spot repair is not carrying the material cost of a full coach.

7.75%

Sales tax on parts and materials

California sales tax of 7.75 percent applies to parts and materials on every OCRV Center invoice. Labour is not taxed in California, which is why a repair heavy in hours and light in parts carries a much smaller tax line than owners expect when they compare two written estimates.

26 miles

San Juan Capistrano to the facility

OCRV Center is roughly 26 miles north of San Juan Capistrano, about 35 minutes up Interstate 5 or the 241 toll road depending on the hour. Owners drive the vehicle to the Yorba Linda facility and leave it there; all work happens in the shop rather than in a driveway or storage lot.

2015

Year the facility was founded

OCRV Center has operated since 2015, long enough to have seen the same laminated sidewall failures, slide mechanisms and cap constructions repeat across model years. That accumulated pattern recognition is why teardown findings on a coach usually confirm what the estimator predicted rather than contradicting it.

5 to 800 hours

Published RV collision hour range

OCRV Center publishes an hour band for RV collision work that runs from 5 hours on a minor panel repair to 800 hours and beyond on a full structural rebuild. Publishing the range up front is how an owner can tell whether their damage sits at the small end of the scale or the serious end.

40 to 250 hours

Full coach refinish hour band

A full exterior refinish at OCRV Center is quoted inside a 40 to 250 hour band depending on length, prep condition, colour count and whether the finish is a solid, a metallic or a tri-coat. Paint materials are then calculated on those same paint hours rather than estimated separately.

20 to 80 hours

Roof membrane replacement band

Replacing a roof membrane at OCRV Center falls inside a 20 to 80 hour band, driven by roof length, the number of penetrations to be removed and reset, and how much deck has to be replaced once the old membrane comes off. Deck condition is the variable that moves the number most.
