Practical support for bodyshops from Toyota

Toyota Ireland remains very active in the accident repair sector helping to boost bodyshop business not just with its innovative Write-Off Avoidance Programme, but also in terms of excellent parts and components availability to allow prompt repair completion. 


While some vehicle manufacturers continue to struggle when it comes to the supply of parts and panels for accident repair, Toyota has worked hard to ensure its supply chain can meet the challenges that have arisen due to factors such as the pandemic, global logistics difficulties and Brexit. With some car makers availability is good with most parts, but long supply delays can be experienced on certain key components. This means that a repair cannot be completed because bodyshops cannot obtain the final pieces of the parts jigsaw, and this can have knock on implications in terms of car hire costs and storage, as well as meaning customer dissatisfaction. 

With Toyota, bodyshops report that all parts are generally readily available, allowing repairs to be completed on time. Also because bodyshops could be dealing with Toyota models of any age, the availability covers all types of vehicle, from the very latest Yaris Cross, right through to an older Avensis.  

Dealing with Local Toyota Dealers also provides bodyshops with another important benefit in that the dealer parts team are very knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to Toyota parts. This means they cannot only identify the correct parts quickly, but can also ensure that a bodyshop receives all the necessary supplementary parts and fittings required to complete the repair without delay.

Added to this repairers can also benefit from the Toyota Write-Off Avoidance Programme designed to keep marginal uneconomical repairs on the road. This can provided added discounts to allow a repair to be completed, boosting bodyshop business and keeping Toyota drivers happy as they avoid the inconvenience and expense of sourcing a new vehicle. 

For more information on Toyota accident repair parts and the Write-Off Avoidance Programme, repairers should contact their local Toyota Dealer Parts Department, from the 46 strong nationwide Toyota dealer network.
