Vehicle body repairer VRS Motor Bodyworks Ltd has become the latest firm to expand its range of services and sign up to Call Zebra’s U&I network.

Aiming to defy the current economic downturn, the 40-year old Bodmin-based bodyshop is now offering a number of new customer-focused features including a 24-hour accident helpline, car hire and access to legal services.

The forward-thinking firm currently employs 18 staff and was the first vehicle body repairer in Cornwall to be awarded the PAS 125 accreditation, the nationally recognised standard for vehicle repair.

Terry Clarke, managing director of VRS Motor Bodyworks Ltd, reveals: “The credit crunch is affecting every business across the country, and we are all feeling the pinch. The only way that firms can survive in these competitive times is to increase the level of customer service we deliver in order to attract more business. “The UK market may be bleak right now, but we are delighted to launch our new accident repair features and see this as a new era for the business.”

Darren Gilling, managing director of north-west firm Call Zebra, which created the U&I network, added: “We are delighted to welcome VRS Motor Bodyworks Ltd to the network. The U&I model has been designed with firms such as VRS Motor Bodyworks Ltd in mind, allowing them to out the needs of the motorist first and foremost with its added services, making it fantastic news for drivers everywhere.”

U&I is a sustainable scheme which enables bodyshops to deliver a swifter, more comprehensive range of accident repair services, without the bulk of the associated overheads and streams of administration.
