CollisionLinkBroker for me is a NO BRAINER it is of great benefit to our business and indeed our customers who embrace it. I find it staggering that some body repairers still don’t buy into it. The program enables both us and the repairer to supply and fit manufacturer genuine parts at a competitive price, enabling us to choose the right option depending on the customer, the vehicle, and the work provider.

The Total Loss Avoidance scheme complements to whole offer from CollisionLinkBroker to retain work in the body repair sector and is now a staple part of our operations to the extent we suggest the program to our customers not currently participating.
