The Toyota Write-Off Avoidance Programme has helped many bodyshops to repair borderline Toyota vehicle write-off and keep them on the road in recent years. It allows repairers to work with insurers and their Toyota dealer, to use additional parts discounts on qualifying cars, so that they can be saved and safely repaired. 

One accident repair centre that has been able to take advantage of the programme is Gregg Martin Crash Repair, which is based in Kilbarrack Industrial Estate, Dublin 5. The business has been repairing cars for approaching 40 years and offers a high level of workmanship and customer service which has seen it gain many manufacturer and insurance approvals. 

Ian Martin, who is an engineer and estimator at the centre, says the Write-Off Avoidance Programme is of great benefit especially when it comes to older Toyota models. He comments, “Generally drivers prefer to have their cars repaired to a high standard rather than have the inconvenience and cost of a write off. The Write Off Avoidance Programme has helped us to keep many Toyota drivers on the road, while also providing us with additional repair volume. 

The Gregg Martin Crash Repair team work closely with the Toyota parts departments at Denis Mahony Kilbarrack and Denis Mahony Toyota M50, to access all the parts and panels needed for Toyota repair. Ian says the service from both branches is excellent with both parts teams very knowledgeable.   

Nationwide the Write Off Avoidance scheme has given hundreds of borderline uneconomical repair Toyotas a new lease of life, saving money for the owner, while also boosting the bodyshop’s business. The motorist also gets to keep a sometimes cherished vehicle, avoid the inconvenience and expense of sourcing a replacement car, while also getting the peace of mind of a quality repair using genuine Toyota parts.

Repairers wishing to avail of the Toyota Write-Off Avoidance Programme, should contact their local Toyota Dealer Parts Department, from the 46 strong nationwide Toyota dealer network.
