Questions
Before you bring the truck
The questions we get on the phone every week, answered in one place.
What does a truck body cost?
Price depends on the body type, the length, the sheet thickness and the fittings. As a guide: open body from ₹open body starting price, closed body from ₹closed body starting price, container from ₹container starting price, tipper body from ₹tipper starting price, platform from ₹platform starting price.
Send the chassis model, the length and what you carry on WhatsApp and we reply with a price for that job.
How many days does a body take?
A standard open body takes about open body days days from the chassis arriving to handover. A closed body or container takes about closed or container days days. A tipper or custom body takes longer and we tell you the date before work starts.
Paint drying is part of that time. The truck leaves only when the paint is hard.
Is the body RTO compliant? What about AIS-093?
AIS-093 is the Automotive Industry Standard for truck cabs, truck bodies and trailers. It sets limits on body dimensions, the strength of the floor and sides, lighting and reflectors, and how the body is fixed to the chassis. The RTO checks the finished vehicle against it before the body is entered on the registration.
state whether the workshop builds to AIS-093 and what paperwork it gives the customer for RTO, for example a body builder certificate or invoice with GST
We are GST registered, so you get a proper tax invoice for the body work.
How is payment done?
payment stages, for example an advance when the chassis arrives, a second payment when the frame is up, balance at handover
We accept payment methods: cash, bank transfer, UPI.
Is there a warranty?
warranty terms: what is covered, for how long, and what is not covered such as paint scratches, overloading or accident damage
Do you work on used chassis and old bodies?
Yes. Many customers bring a truck that already has a body: tired, cut, or the wrong size for the new work. We remove the old body, check the chassis, and build the new one on it. We also repair and extend bodies when the frame is still sound.
Can you build at my location?
say whether the workshop does site work, and if not, how customers from other cities usually bring the chassis
The workshop is at Booth No. 788, Motor Market, Sector 13, Chandigarh, open Tuesday to Sunday, 9 AM to 9 PM.
Which trucks do you build bodies for?
Tata, Ashok Leyland, Eicher, BharatBenz and Mahindra trucks, and pickup and jeep chassis such as the Bolero. Lengths from 14 ft to 24 ft, or a custom length for your chassis.
