After seventy (70) collective
years of industry experience and a substantial financial investment
into research and development, the product now known as the IVIC
‘Structural Tolerance Report’ has been developed.
Detailed market and customer
focused prototype development testing was conducted on the IVIC
‘Structural Tolerance Report’ over the past three
years with tremendous success. In particular, all clients who
used the ‘Structural Tolerance Report’ product secured
better and safer repairs for their collision damaged vehicle or
were presented with a new vehicle.
IVIC executed small local
newspaper advertising wanting to attract vehicle owners who felt
aggrieved with the standard of collision repairs conducted on
their vehicles. Surprisingly approximately five hundred (500)
random owners came forward to have the structural tolerance of
their collision repaired motor vehicles inspected. Alarmingly
nine (9) in every ten (10) vehicles failed and more disturbingly
these owners had no knowledge they were driving defective and
dangerous vehicles.
Some vehicles were so
dangerously repaired that the insurer immediately settled with
the owner on a ‘total loss basis’ for the insured
value. Shamefully however we know of cases where the same vehicle
was later auctioned and some other unsuspecting buyer was burdened
with a dangerously defective crashworthy deficient motor vehicle.
Inspection referrals from Vic Roads VIV Inspection centres and
the Victorian police have helped to identify re-birthed vehicles
where the culprits where subsequently arrested and the vehicle
prevented from being re-registered.
IVIC propose to promote their socially and morally responsible
motoring safety initiative onto a national platform to help assist
and remove as many compromised collision repaired vehicles as
possible from public roads.
