The South African Insurance Association (SAIA) alongside other motor industry stakeholders have launched the “Save-a-car” programme, aimed at reducing\u00a0the cost of repairing damaged motor vehicles deemed to be uneconomical to repair.<\/p>\n

The programme, which is still in its pilot stage, allows insurance companies to work directly with dealerships and original manufacturers to ensure that costs are reduced, said\u00a0Nico Esterhuizen, GM of insurance risks at SAIA.<\/p>\n

Dealerships currently participating in the programme include the BMW group (BMW, Mini, Rolls Royce), Nissan (Nissan, Datsun, Infinity) Fiat Chrysler, General Motors, and Hyundai.<\/p>\n

“This pilot project has the potential to positively contribute to employment as more vehicles could be repaired and it can also assist in reducing vehicle crime,” said Esterhuizen.<\/p>\n

“Over time more OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers ) will participate in the project thereby increasing its potential success.”<\/p>\n
