Ever wondered where to start when addressing issues with your existing vehicle fit-out? At Auto Transform, we specialise in seamlessly handling fit-outs and understand just how difficult it can be to know where to begin. The first step is always assessment. This guide helps you evaluate your current build, identify pain points, and pinpoint areas where improvements can be made.
How Would You Rate Your Vehicle?
Grading Matrix:
How to Use the Matrix
-
Rank the Criteria – Start by ranking the factors that matter most to you, from highest to lowest (e.g., Fit-for-purpose #1, After-sales service #2).
-
Rate Each Criterion – For each factor, give it a score from 1 to 10 based on your current experience and situation.
-
Identify Areas for Improvement – Look at the lower scores to pinpoint areas where your vehicle’s fit-out could be improved.
-
Make Informed Decisions – Use the scores to highlight any gaps and make decisions that will better align your vehicle fit-out with your needs.
Evaluate Your Needs When Fitting Out a Commercial Vehicle
Every fleet has its own set of challenges. If your vehicle is rated poorly, it’s likely due to one or more of the following issues:
-
Downtime – Fleet vehicles being out of service for extended periods, leading to a loss in productivity.
-
Quality Issues and Lack of Responsiveness – Delays in addressing problems, keeping your main money-generating tool (the vehicle) out of action.
-
Ineffective Fit-Outs – Fit-outs that don’t maximise uptime or meet your operational needs.
-
Cluttered Storage Solutions – Trying multiple storage options that only create more clutter and waste.
-
Time Wasted Organising Equipment – Spending too much time sorting gear for jobs.
-
Unreliable Delivery – Constantly chasing updates, only to face delays that impact your workflow, bookings, and ultimately, revenue.
How We Can Help

Whether it’s a custom build or storage solutions, we provide the tools to help you achieve a higher-graded vehicle that enhances your fleet’s overall performance.
We focus on creating fit-outs that maximise uptime and meet the unique demands of your fleet. Whether you’re dealing with downtime, quality concerns, or inefficient storage solutions, we design fit-outs that enhance your vehicle’s productivity and minimise disruptions.
With our purpose-built facility, we are able to quickly deliver upgraded fit-outs that address specific challenges. For example, during a project with Hyster, we identified that their main challenge was reducing the weight of their service vans. To address this, we provided a standardised, safe, and high-quality mobile workspace for their service technicians.
Our solution incorporated lightweight, ergonomic designs and modular components that could be easily adapted as their needs evolved. This allowed their technicians to carry more oils and equipment, ultimately improving efficiency and performance.
“Our products are designed for heavy-duty usage and demanding operations across a wide range of industries. This investment in new fleet demonstrates Hyster’s commitment to keeping customer equipment running smoothly with maximum uptime.” – Scott Kelsey, General Manager Hyster NZ
