WHOLESALE · DELRAY BEACH · BOCA RATON · BOYNTON BEACH · LAKE WORTH
Batch body & paint, so cars don’t sit.
Theo AutoBody runs wholesale body and paint in batches for used-car lots, dealerships, and fleets across Palm Beach County. Start with a trial batch of 1–2 vehicles at the wholesale rate — one priced list per VIN, measured on turnaround and invoice accuracy. If the numbers hold, it becomes a standing arrangement.
The offer, in five lines
- Trial batch first — 1–2 vehicles at the agreed wholesale rate.
- Priced per VIN — one list per vehicle, approval threshold agreed up front.
- Two repair levels — agreed per vehicle, on one account.
- Rate sheet on request — by job type, after a walkthrough. No prices are printed on this page.
- Billing your way — per job, per VIN, or one monthly statement for approved accounts.

Wholesale lots & BHPH dealers
Decision-maker: the lot owner, or the used-car manager
A trade-in or auction buy has to become saleable and lot-ready — bumpers, dents, paint — at the lowest defensible per-car cost. Work runs as a batch: walk the recon row, one priced list per VIN, take a batch, return a batch.
First step: book a lot walk — call or text (561) 325-9203.

Franchise & pre-owned dealerships
Decision-makers: used-car manager (recon) · fixed-ops manager (collision overflow)
Two jobs, not one: used-car recon — cosmetic body and paint to get stock front-line ready — and collision overflow when your bays fill. You already track vendor cost and speed per VIN; a new shop wins by being measurable.
First step: book a walk, and name your approver and approval threshold.
TAP TO SELECT
Fleets
Decision-maker: fleet / operations manager
The vehicle is a revenue unit — while it’s in the shop, it isn’t earning. Scheduling is staggered, so most of the fleet stays on the road.
First step: request a fleet walkthrough — fleet size, and how much can be down at once.
Run golf carts? Clubs, communities & cart fleets: batch paint & body for carts on the golf cart page.

Referral partners
Mechanics · towing & recovery · independent appraisers
You send body work you don’t do. The customer stays yours.
First step: call or text (561) 325-9203 and say you’re a trade partner. One contact, no estimate form.

THE VOLUME OFFER
Rate sheet on request. Trial batch first.
Wholesale rate sheet
Rates by job type — bumper, dent / PDR, panel paint, touch-up — consistent enough to budget against. Sent after a walkthrough or account setup. Final pricing depends on damage, parts, and the vehicle — which is why no prices live on a web page.
Trial batch
1–2 vehicles at the agreed wholesale rate. Measure two numbers: drop-off-to-ready days, and final invoice vs. approved estimate. If they hold, formalize volume rates.
Billing
Per job, per VIN, with a batch summary — or one monthly consolidated statement. Terms for approved accounts are credit-approved, not automatic.
Two repair levels — agreed per vehicle
Cheaper & faster: work trucks and units that will be dented again. Sound, safe, presentable — and back earning.
A-grade cosmetic: front-line retail stock, where appearance sells the car. Colour match checked as a batch before return.
HOW A BATCH RUNS
Five steps
- Lot / fleet walkWe walk the recon row or the fleet with the decision-maker — or work from a photo list you send — and agree what “done” means per vehicle before any work starts.
- Priced list per VINOne list per vehicle, with your approval threshold agreed up front.
- Batch pickupScheduled drop-off or collection.
- Repair + updatesPhotos and status as work moves; extra damage found at teardown is documented before it is touched.
- Return + invoiceBatch QC, then one invoice per VIN.
No timeline is promised on a page — timelines are agreed per job, with the batch in front of us.
WHAT BUYERS WEIGH FIRST
Speed first, accuracy second, price third
Ranked from fleet, dealer, and shop sources — a research synthesis, not a survey:
- Turnaround / downtime — days per car. A car in the shop is a car not earning.
- Cost accuracy — final invoice vs. approved estimate.
- Wholesale pricing, on a rate sheet — consistent rates by job type, so you can budget.
- Pickup & delivery — a batch that can’t be collected doesn’t happen.
- Communication & documentation — photos, status, a completion date — and a call when the date moves.
- Consistent quality across a batch — colour match checked as a batch, not assumed.
Dealers track days-to-frontline — acquisition to reconditioned and for sale. Industry benchmarks put holding cost at $30–$85 per day per car (Datatik). That is an industry range, not a Theo price — it is why the batch, not the single car, is the unit that matters.
QUESTIONS, ANSWERED STRAIGHT
Wholesale FAQ
Do you publish wholesale rates?
No — and no Palm Beach County wholesale rate sheet is public. You get rates by job type after a walkthrough, and you judge them on a trial batch, in your numbers.
How does the trial batch work?
1–2 vehicles at the agreed wholesale rate. We measure drop-off-to-ready days and final invoice vs. approved estimate together. If the numbers hold, it becomes a standing arrangement with formalized volume rates.
Do you pick up and deliver?
The service area is Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, and Lake Worth. Put your location on the call and the shop confirms what it can collect before you send a batch.
What documentation do we get?
Per car: estimate, damage / teardown / finished photos, supplement documentation, and an invoice per VIN. Per month: a batch summary, or a consolidated statement if that is your billing preference.
What about warranty?
Warranty terms for your account are put in writing before work starts — parts vs. labour separately, exclusions on paper. Nothing vague, nothing verbal.
We’re a municipal fleet.
Municipal fleets buy through RFQ / RFP / bid lists, evaluated on references and rates. Ask to be added to the vendor list and request a rate sheet — no municipal contract is promised here.
