Yes, however there is an additional fee for this service. The price varies according to whether you require removal and disposal of the tub, or removal and return of the tub to you, for example, to enable you to re-attach it when it’s time to trade-in your ute.
Note that the OEM may have warranty guidelines regarding tub removal — these are the customer’s responsibility to consider before engaging Hidrive to remove the tub.

A touchless automatic car wash is technically the best choice of automatic car wash for vehicles with signage, however, because you have no control over the direction or pressure of the water jets there is a possibility that this could cause damage to the signage. Brush type car washes should not be used, and are likely to cause damage to both the vehicle and the signage.
The vehicle should not be cleaned within the first 48 hours of the signage being applied. After this 2-day period, it is recommended to wash your vehicle every two weeks, or a minimum once a month.
Small text decals or detailed edges are very delicate as they do not have a large surface area and can peel if rubbed. They require extra care when washing these areas.
It is likely that your vehicle wrap may begin to fade after around 4 years. Like paint, vehicle graphics will fade over time. Fading can be reduced by garaging and appropriately washing your fleet.
We use world-class materials that enable removal with the right tooling. This is useful when vehicles are sold or leases expire.
In most cases yes, we can offer one-way vision material that is used for window graphics.
We treat FleetBrand installation as part of the service body build so we apply it at the same time. And because it’s all done at your nearest Hidrive installation location, this avoids extra transport costs and third-party supplier delays.
Hidrive can licence the trailer as part of the process.
