Prep Stations

CMC Prep Stations are designed to improve workshop efficiency, reduce preparation times, and create a cleaner, safer working environment for technicians.

From simple suction bays through to complete prep stations with filtered air supply, extraction, lighting, curtains, and integrated accessories, CMC can supply a solution to suit your workshop layout and repair process.

Prep stations are an essential part of any modern body shop, providing a dedicated area for sanding, preparation, primer work, masking, and parts preparation before vehicles enter the spray booth.

Designed for Efficient Repair Flow

A well-designed prep station reduces workshop bottlenecks and keeps your spray booth focused on what it should be doing — painting.

By moving preparation work out of the booth, workshops can increase efficiency, reduce delays between jobs, and keep vehicles moving through the repair process.

Reduce prep-to-paint turnaround time and keep vehicles moving through the workshop more efficiently.
Used in high-volume repair facilities to keep preparation off the booth floor and maintain consistent workflow.
