In trades, commercial, and industrial work, your vehicle is more than just a way to get from job to job—it’s your mobile workplace. A poorly planned fitout costs you time, money, and even safety. But the right fitout turns your vehicle from a business expense into a long-term investment that delivers measurable returns.
At Auto Transform, we’ve developed a 6-step fitout process designed to give you reliability, durability, and functionality. It keeps you organised, protects your equipment and passengers, and helps you work smarter every single day.
Why the right fitout matters
Lost time and inefficiency don’t just affect your bottom line—they affect your reputation and growth. Vehicle downtime, misplaced tools, or equipment failures mean fewer jobs completed and less money earned. Poor safety or weak security features can put your crew, your tools, and your business at risk.
That’s why we build fitouts that go beyond functionality. With Auto Transform, you gain:
-
Longer vehicle life and higher resale value
-
Reduced downtime and higher utilisation
-
A safer, more secure workspace
-
Extra time back in your day
-
Peace of mind knowing your team and assets are protected
This isn’t about “adding extras” to your van—it’s about building efficiency, safety, and professionalism into every job you do.
Our 6-step fitout process
1. Discovery – Planning Beyond the Basics
We start by understanding your needs, then design a solution that goes further than you imagined. Our modular approach gives you options, and we’ll present detailed drawings so you can visualise and refine your fitout before we even begin.
2. Pre-Work – Preparing for Smooth Delivery
Every detail is scheduled in advance: logistics, parts, and timing. This preparation means no surprises and ensures your project runs smoothly from start to finish.
3. Fitout Phase 1 – Engineering, Lining & Assembly
Safety comes first. Auto Transform is New Zealand’s only fitout provider with crash-tested products for added protection. We combine strong structural solutions with high-quality linings and materials that protect both your vehicle and its cargo.
4. Fitout Phase 2 – Technology, Branding & Quality Control
From GPS tracking to custom signage, we help your vehicle perform and represent your brand. Before delivery, every vehicle passes a strict quality check so you can be confident it meets your standards—and ours.
5. Certification – Compliance You Can Trust
If required, we manage all LVV or LT400 certifications so your vehicle is road-ready and compliant from day one.
6. Documentation & Delivery – A Record of Quality
We provide full photographic documentation of your build, giving you a record of the process. Once delivered, our support doesn’t stop—we offer ongoing servicing and an online tracking system so you’re always in the loop.
From cost to return on investment
Every day your Auto Transform fitout saves time, increases efficiency, and protects your crew is a day you’re building a stronger business. Over the lifetime of your vehicle, those small efficiencies compound—helping you serve more customers, earn more revenue, and build a reputation for professionalism.
An Auto Transform fitout isn’t an expense you write off—it’s an investment that pays you back every time you hit the road.
