Each year the collision repair industry as a whole comes across cars that are “written off” by either the owner or the insurance company. Oftentimes these are older vehicles that just need some mechanical and body work to get them road-ready and perfectly safe to drive.
According to Dave Adams, owner of Dave Adams Classic Auto Repair, “We believe these cars are going to waste when there are people who really need them, so we decided to do something about it. Each year we’ve given a car to a single mother who is working to improve her skills and become independent."
This annual giveaway was so rewarding, Dave introduced the idea to his fellow Acoat selected members as a way to implement the program nationwide. The Acoat selected members loved the idea and joined together in 1999 to form the Acoat selected National Benevolence Program.
The Acoat selected Benevolence Program achieves its mission by presenting refurbished cars to deserving individuals or organizations during the holiday season. Shops that participate in the Acoat selected National Benevolence Program work with their local charitable organizations to help them identify an individual or group that is in need of a vehicle.
Shops can also work with a local insurance provider to secure coverage for the car for a pre-determined time.
The positive press helps improve the image of the collision repair industry as a whole. The primary goal is to generate good will at the local level while improving and promoting the image of the collision repair industry.
