The National Body Repair Association (NBRA) has written an open letter to 36 of the leading motor insurers and accident managers in the UK calling for greater support for bodyshops during the Covid-19 crisis.
The move comes after it was revealed that motor claims notifications had fallen by more than 70% in recent weeks while bodyshops are estimated to be losing £240m in revenue per month as a result of the pandemic.
As such it has proposed a set of temporary changes to repairers which it believes will help them continue to operating during this period.
The statement, which can read in full on Trend Tracker, said: “Motor underwriters are expected to make a conservative £1bn in claims savings unexpectedly through Covid-19 whilst the repair industry is looking at considerable losses and closures.”
