The South African Motor Body Repairers’ Association (SAMBRA) is calling on insurance companies to provide consistent financial relief to auto repair shops struggling with fluctuating fuel prices. SAMBRA warns that ongoing fuel price volatility is significantly increasing the financial burden on motor body repairers across the country. The association argues that inconsistent or absent fuel surcharges from insurers are making it difficult for repair businesses to maintain profitability. This pressure could potentially impact the quality and availability of repair services. SAMBRA is advocating for a standardized approach to fuel-related compensation from all insurers. The organization believes consistent relief is crucial for the sustainability of the auto repair industry in South Africa, given the current economic climate.
