Truck Body Shops: Keep Your Fleet Looking Sharp and Working Hard with Papé Kenworth

Pape Kenworth member servicing a truck.

Downtime has a way of multiplying. A damaged hood, a bent bumper, or a tweaked frame can quickly turn into missed loads, scheduling headaches, and a truck that stops representing your business the way it should. That’s where a dedicated truck body shop earns its keep. At Papé Kenworth body shops, the goal is simple: help you get back to work quickly with craftsmanship you can trust.

What a Truck Body Shop Handles for Working Trucks

A commercial truck body shop does more than make your rig look good. It brings the truck back to spec so it tracks straight, wears tires evenly, and holds up under real-world use.

Papé Kenworth body shops handle collision repair, paint, and frame repair for trucks of different sizes, including semis, box trucks, flatbeds, and vocational units. Technicians work on a wide range of makes and models, which matters when your fleet includes more than one brand or body configuration.

Repairs are completed in-house, including fiberglass work, Metton repairs, and painting. That helps keep quality consistent and reduces handoffs between vendors.

Why Fleets Choose Papé Kenworth Body Shops

Body work is often time-sensitive, especially after an incident that pulls a truck out of rotation. Papé Kenworth supports that urgency with practical features that keep operations moving.

A 75-foot heated, downdraft spray booth supports high-quality paint work and consistent finishes, which is valuable for both collision repairs and custom paint jobs.

Some locations also offer frame straightening.

Insurance coordination can also make a big difference in cycle time. Papé Kenworth works directly with major insurance companies to help align pricing and approvals. You also get warranty support with a 90-day labor warranty, plus applicable parts warranties.
