Tools to assist motor body repairers to protect their business.

MTAA and AMBRA have released the following tools to assist independent motor body repair businesses that are under increasing pressure from vertical and horizontal integration of the supply chain and the increasing influence of insurance companies.

  • Consumer Complaint Form for potential poor behaviours experienced by consumers at a body repair business
  • Motor Vehicle Insurance and Repair Code of Conduct Indemnity Form
  • New Cost Calculator to determine the real hourly rate for motor body repair businesses when conducting repair work (and guidelines for its use)

Please follow links in Business Assistance section above to access these tools.

Each year the MTAA receives numerous concerns and cases from motor body repair business members about the behaviours of suppliers, insurers, other motor body repair businesses, and key stakeholders including State and Federal Government regulations and policy.

These concerns are many and varied and can include: contract disagreements, operations or behaviours of parties with whom the motor body repair business has a relationship, the impact of government policies and regulations, consumer choice and complaints, misuse of market power, contractual arrangements, accessing repair information, and Franchising Code of Conduct matters.
