Unfortunately, even with the advent of
new technologies of recent times, conventional collision repair
equipment and the subsequent methods used to repair collision
damaged vehicles have not improved to any great extent over the
past thirty years.
There is undisputed evidence which identifies
that nine in ten, or 90% of collision repaired motor vehicles
which had sustained structural damage, remain defective and totally
unsafe. A compromised structural integrity can be the direct cause
of severe injuries or fatalities.
Structurally compromised vehicles do not meet
with current roadworthy compliance legislation yet the authorities
have made no attempts to remove or prevent these vehicles from
returning to our roads, nor have the owners been advised that
their collision repaired vehicle could be a death trap.
There are millions of vehicles on the roads
with dangerously inferior collision repairs and if you own or
drive a collision repaired vehicle (company cars included) you
are probably driving an unsafe or structurally compromised vehicle.
This situation applies to any make or model regardless of value
or prestige of vehicle.
IVIC have a strong belief that in the interests
of public safety, such vehicles should be remedially repaired
to within a safe crashworthy compliance or be removed from our
roads completely.
However to better highlight the existing problem
IVIC are desirous to purchase the worst examples of collision
repaired motor vehicles.
If you think you have an excellent example
of a dangerously repaired vehicle, please do not sell it to unsuspecting
buyers, uphold your Duty of Care and contact IVIC. We will pay
above market value for the right vehicles.
