Third Party Remounters?
A third-party remounter is any organization other than the original builder that performs remount services. These organizations can range from established emergency vehicle service centers to smaller independent operations with varying levels of experience and oversight. In some cases, departments choose to perform remounts internally, often referred to as “in-house remounting.”

11 Things to Consider Before Choosing a Remounter
Issues like these are taken very seriously here at Frazer. We believe that anyone considering a 3rd party remount service should consider the following:
- Is your remounter registered with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) as a remounter? This is a federal requirement and should be non-negotiable.
- Does your remounter apply a FMVSS Sticker in the door jamb of the new chassis? If they are registered with the NHTSA, they should be.
- Does your remounter have the necessary state and local licenses to operate as a vehicle upfitter/converter?
- Does your remounter have product liability insurance coverage in accordance with state and local requirements?
- Does your remounter have garagekeepers insurance?
- Is your remounter using quality materials and safe building practices?
- Is your original warranty going to carry over after a 3rd party remount? Important: Frazer’s warranty is considered void and non-binding unless agreed to by Frazer prior to the 3rd party remount.
- Is your remounter planning to comply with upcoming NFPA 1917 and CAAS GVS v2.0 remount standards?
- Is your remounter Ford QVM certified? This is not required, but recommended.
- Is your remounter registered with the Ambulance Manufacturers Division (AMD)? Also not required, but recommended.
- Does your 3rd party remount service meet your budget requirements?
