The

These Sections, under a Section Manager of Technical Superintendent Grade, are divided into units, each being responsible for some part of the maintenance, repair and overhaul of a vehicle. The various shops undertake the inspection, servicing and repair of Government's vehicle fleet, including motor cycles. The Sub-Assembly Shop reconditions and tests engines removed from vehicles, and rebuilds gearboxes, clutches, axles, steering boxes, suspension and brake component assemblies. Body Sheet Metal and Carpenters Shops are very fully engaged on the construction and repair of bodywork. Upholstery Shops repair vehicle upholstery, including the re-lining of roofs and door panels and also make canvas canopies, carpets, rubber seats and seat covers for vehicles. Tyres and tubes are repaired, electrical systems are maintained and rewired and batteries are serviced in other subsidiary shops. The Paint Shop in the Caroline Hill Workshop not only deals with complete vehicle respraying but also the painting of electrical appliances and other miscellaneous items, although it has been necessary to have some of the vehicle respraying work carried out under contract. In Kowloon the lack of workshop space necessitates not only all whole-vehicle respraying but also all major vehicle body repairs being carried out under contract. The cost of such work by contract continues to rise but in the circumstances of current Workshop congestion this additional cost has to be accepted. In Kowloon, space is available for only domestic equipment to be painted and small re-touching jobs carried out on vehicles.
