In the present uncertain environment motorists are tending to keep their vehicles for longer, so if the unexpected strikes and a car is written off in an accident, the last thing the owner wants at present is the cost and inconvenience of having to find a new car. Fortunately for Škoda drivers, they can often benefit from the Škoda Write Off Avoidance Programme which aims to keep borderline write-offs on the road by providing additional support.
As well as keeping drivers on the road the Programme has also provided a boost for accident repairers in what is a very challenging competitive environment. Where a Škoda vehicle is in danger of being written off the repairer can contact their Skoda dealer, or Skoda directly by email (bodyshop@vwgi.ie) with a repair estimate. They will then receive a prompt response, with the additional support that can be made available to facilitate the repair. In this way the bodyshop can get a major boost to labour hours by completing a repair that otherwise would not have happened.
Škoda drivers are generally delighted to keep their cars on the road and avoid the cost and inconvenience of replacement. They also have the peace of mind of knowing that they have a quality repair using genuine Škoda parts.
As well as accident damage, the programme also covers parts such as engines and gearboxes, which means for example flood damaged cars can also often also be saved.
