Movement between prep and bay is expected
Lot and overflow geofences cover a shop with more than one building or a staging row across the street. Moves inside those fences during your hours are logged, not escalated.

Vinyl wrap shop software for cars that live with you all week.
A color change is a week. A fleet of six Model 3s in company livery is a month of staggered drop-offs. GuestLot gives each car its own time-boxed custody window, watches the lot while they wait their turn, and hands every owner — or fleet manager — a receipt when their car goes home.
A wrap week
The car spends more time waiting than being wrapped.
Monday it arrives and gets washed and clayed. Tuesday it is disassembled — handles, emblems, mirror caps — and sits in staging while your printer runs the panels. Wednesday and Thursday it is in the install bay. Friday it is reassembled and inspected, then parked outside because the customer cannot come until Saturday — the kind of overnight stretch the lot watch and the QR check-in sign exist for.
Across five days it moves between three or four spots, occasionally between two buildings, driven by whichever installer is closest. Every one of those moves is legitimate and none of them is written down anywhere. When the fleet manager asks on Saturday why the odometer moved eleven miles, the honest answer is a shrug.
Fleet work makes this sharper. A commercial customer has a fleet policy, a finance person, and a habit of asking for documentation. They are not suspicious of you — they just need something to put in a file, and right now nobody in this trade has one to give them. If your shop also cuts film, the PPF page covers the same custody window on a paint protection ticket.

Staggered fleet drop-offs stay separate
Each vehicle carries its own window, its own log, and its own receipt, so vehicle four's Thursday has nothing to do with vehicle one's Monday.
Reassembly week ends with a document
Hand-back closes the snapshot and generates the receipt in the same tap. For a commercial customer that receipt is the paperwork they were going to ask you for anyway.
Defaults for wrap
Room to move the car, not to take it anywhere.
Wrap shares its policy shape with PPF because the work has the same rhythm: long stays, frequent short moves, and a frunk that has to open.
- An 8-mile odometer threshold across the whole visit, which covers a week of shuffling between prep, print, and install.
- Lot and overflow geofences, for the shops whose staging is a second lot or a leased row down the block.
- Frunk access required — emblems, sensor covers, and edge work all live up there, so Valet Mode stays off.
- Supercharger sessions on the owner’s account alert the GM, which matters more on fleet work where somebody else pays the energy bill.
- No per-vehicle charge, ever. A six-car fleet costs the same as one car — see pricing and the math against per-vehicle fleet tools.
Shipped defaults for a wrap ticket. Same shape as PPF, tuned for longer stays.
Commercial customers keep files
Fleet work comes with a paper expectation.
A retail customer asks a question at pickup. A fleet customer opens a ticket, copies their finance lead, and wants a document with dates on it. Every closed AccessReceipt is that document: the window your access was open, what the vehicle did, and the timestamp it ended. It also happens to be what your carrier wants if a claim ever lands — see garage keepers liability.
Questions
From wrap shops and fleet accounts
We wrap commercial fleets. Do we need one window per vehicle?
Yes, one custody window per car, because each vehicle belongs to a different authorization on the Tesla side. What you do not get is a per-vehicle bill: GuestLot is $179 flat per location whether you wrap three cars this month or thirty.
Cars move between prep, print, and install all week. Will that trip alerts?
A wrap job ships with an 8-mile odometer threshold and lot plus overflow geofences, so normal movement between buildings and staging spots is inside the policy. Alerts fire on after-hours exits and on drift past that threshold, not on a car being shuffled at 2 PM.
The fleet manager, not the driver, owns the car. Who authorizes?
Whoever holds the Tesla account for that vehicle authorizes it, which for a commercial fleet is usually the fleet manager rather than the person who dropped it off. They also receive the AccessReceipt, which is normally who wanted the paperwork in the first place.
