Hundreds of bodyshop around Ireland continue to benefit from the Toyota Write-Off Avoidance Programme which helps them repair and keep vehicles on the road that otherwise might have been scrapped. The programme, which is open to all repairers and garages, is being increasingly used as drivers find the cost of replacing their damaged vehicle prohibitive. 

The programme allows a repairer to work with insurers and their Toyota dealer, to use additional parts discounts on qualifying cars, so that they can be safely repaired and kept on the road.

As well as the write-off avoidance scheme Toyota Ireland is also assisting Ireland’s accident repairers with excellent parts and panel availability, with 90%+ order fulfilment and efficient delivery nationwide.   

Arthur Power of Toyota Ireland says, “In the present economic conditions it makes sense to repair cars rather than write them off and we are seeing our write off avoidance programme being used more and more. This has been reflected in a 30% year on year increase in genuine Toyota panel sales.” He adds, “Toyota Ireland and its dealers are working very hard to maintain parts availability across the board as well as price stability where possible and because of this trade customers are increasingly relying on use.” 

The 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.
