Panel beater, Auto body repair, Spray painter as workshop partner
enhance mutual business - What does that mean?
Thank you for checking more in depth about the RAMLA services and network opportunities.
Please note that this very first part is a repetition of a short introduction, if you got that before, kindly scroll down or click Mutual expectation as result of collaboration.
We did some fundamental improvements to those web pages related to the RAMLA network idea, as we are adamant to establish, extend and foster local partnership (working relationships are meant, if used the term "partnership") to the benefit of both, the local business or services and RAMLA.
We further need apologising for neglecting this section for a long period of time, as maintaining our business and the relatively huge RAMLA web info platform (some hundred pages), is a challenge.
But as mentioned, we are now determined to give the building of a local network the attention it deserves.
We tried to systemise the information, in order for the new business person, interestedly looking on the offer have a more easier way of understanding as just read all.
We will explain what we do and where we are and who we are, what is meant by network partnership, dependent and individually to the various sections of the tangling industries, what we can offer and may expect from a working relationship, to fruitfully harvest results and benefits.
This page, the reader is currently browsing, is meant explaining the idea, the avenues and level of local exposure and services.
The next pages designed for more particular industry related detail information, can be found by using the link to the industry.
( Towing and Storage
- Damage Assessment
- Repair/Panel Beating
- Car Dealership
- Local Legal Services
- Investigation/Debt collection)
Important to know however is, that we do create local web pages for towns, cities, suburbs or geographic areas, once identified and chosen, showcasing the local industries, businesses and services local motorists are interested in. Those web pages, displaying the industries, businesses and services in a particular area, which do have selected connections or links, to automotive issues and car accident matters, as a kind of online branch data base, up to a linked individual business page.
Such a sample web page can be viewed in its present developing stage by following this link to - SampleTown. The web page "SampleTown" displays the local business, services and other useful information for motorists or car accident victims, selecting the services needed to solve repercussions of traffic accident destruction, or other need choosing local businesses in the automotive sector.
The branches or industries will have entries, such as location data and contacts to businesses listed and can have a link to a separate local business web page (Subpage within the RAMLA info platform) showcase the business or service in particular.
Such pages are designed as a kind of template to give it a relativly RAMLA like look for all, but stuffed with individual business data and information. Such page can be viewed by following this link to SampleTown - Partner Business.
Those information's above are given to the reader of this particular page, in terms of shorten the process of orientation and aren't designed for the end customer/client.
A local potential client should be attracted by the local page, listing the industries, businesses and services available in SampleTown. (certainly in reality this will be the individual town or area).
As a test one can i.e. Google: car accident services businesses in "SampleTown" South Africa, or similar up to a search for a particular business, which can be found, if listed as RAMLA Sub Page individually.
Such individual sub web page will present the business/service according to the details we receive and approve, but containing at least location, contacts incl. email, phone and person to contact and some attractive photographs of the partner's business. It can have a direct Link to the business/service own web pages, in exchange for a Link back to the RAMLA services.
It's quite a bit of information, we do know, but should you like knowing more, contact us via email and we provide you with draft info, telling you what is meant by RAMLA partnership.

Mutual expectation as result of collaboration between the local auto body repair business or panel beater/spray painter workshops and RAMLA, is certainly continuously creating new business
Well, let me start and take the opportunity to thank all those who made the efforts and got all the way through a lot of information or RAMLA web pages, to arrive here, on the specific panel beating/auto repair business info section in regard of business collaboration.
We want encourage you, the local business to take the second step (we took the first in creating the idea, formulated and published it for you, to find it) and make up your mind of what we propose and if positively applied, contact us, please.
As we're taking about business, - what is it we all want? - Yes, more and better business!
But more and better business to conditions doesn't harm or put too much obligation on the business or its performers, correct?
Performing a vibrant business in today's quickly changing and challenging times, is a task in itself and we all don't need "time waster" to catch attention of our limited time and resources. The author of this web page/s - RAMLA - sincerely do hope not be regarded as just being one of those.
Let's get straight to the subject:
Car Accident and repercussions - repair challenges - business.
Repairing car accident damage is not a bad business, but comes with some tasks before the repair order is eventually placed.
There is the obscure demand from Motor Insurance Companies and correspondently taken over by some private claim performers, to ask a victim of a car accident to present - three - independent and individual repair quotations.
We don't think this is the right way and play ball with some local panel beaters and in turn with the claimant, looking for an amicable solution, as regularly three - unpaid - quotes will not be made out as carefully as one given in earnest - paid - and reflecting as much as a similar vehicle damage assessment.
The natural effect of competition between the several quoting businesses, will probably trigger different quotes for the same - material - damages, which should not be as such, as damage is damage, and only different wage levels or profit expectations can have a significant (if any) impact on a quote to be different to another.
If despite those factors won't be as significant, but fairly different quotes been filed, the reason can only be that one business been honest, fair and complete, quoting for the full range of damages and professional repairs, others coming up with different quotes may just have left out something, which may "surprisingly" only be detected once the car is in for repair.
|
|
Repairing car accident damage is not a bad business, but comes with some challenges before the order is secure.
|
|
What are the consequences?
In short - you all know
But the above is just one side of the coin.
The other side deals with money to pay for repairs
| |
A.) Quotation or Assessment for the repair costs
1. Only one will get the business
2. The lowest will make it so far, implying to get closer to the job, not all can be listed fair.
3. The claimant and victim run the risk to give repairs to an underperforming business.
4. Repairs may be improved and not 100% to factory approved (roadworthy) conditions
5. The client run the risk to pay a top up, getting it all right, if calculation been short.
On top of all that, there is a good chance, the Insurer send its own assessor, calculating the damages and only authorise repairs or compensation according to those - not always impartial and complete - calculations, to probably just another business as those delivered the three quotes.
That's neither encouraging nor motivating, isn't it?
B.) Availability of money to pay for the Repairs
1. A repair order will, can or should only be placed if payment is secure
2. On route to the pay out repair compensation can be several obstacles
3. Declines of claims or disputes of parts of claims are common pratice
4. Settlement agreements can take time to conclude, fulfilled and paid
|

Solutions to a and b above That's what RAMLA proclaims -
One repair quotation only - but one that has the merits to show the assessed vehicles damages are fair, reasonable and justified, presented in a detailed assessment calculation report (similar to a vehicle damage assessment) accompanied by meaningful pictures of damages and coming with an invoice for such assessment, in the range of comparable vehicle assessment comes with.
If such financial assessing report value, may be later credited to the client/customer will be subject to workshop policy, but may have an extra value in terms of branding and customer satisfaction.
One repair quotation only - will provide for the business to have a good chance of getting the repair job, even quoted fair and complete.
One repair quotation only - will be supported in a claim by RAMLA to be equal to a damage assessment and those would even not be expected to be presented in three different and independent assessments.
Making sure the money is available - RAMLA take car of the pursuit of the claim to have the repair money available -
Making sure the money is available - RAMLA put measured pressure on parties to solve matters in a reasonable time -
Making sure the money is available - RAMLA invest its knowledge and dedication in a claim to get declines or dispute sorted, where ever possible -
Making sure the money is available - RAMLA won't rest unless the settlement is concluded and a pay-out enforceable stipulated.
|
|
In regard to the above, we do believe that benefits to cooperate with RAMLA already outweigh any doubt and should convince, even a more sceptically person. Are we wrong or right?
But we got more of benefits to show off.
|
As it is still expected to get an ordinary damage calculation/assessment free of charge, but made out by professional and experienced business people and further expected to be fair, complete and reasonable, it cannot make wonder that accompanied by uncertainty to receive a repair order at all, that not all such quotes adhere to the requirements, despite that will be, a judge will look on in a dispute.
The customer/client, regularly without thinking about the differences in a quotation, in order to hand in such to the liable party or motor insurance admin, for them to consider one out of those up to three quotes for acceptation, and utilise one (commonly the lowest - as there is no interest or care for the good) as the basis for a settlement offer, in terms of the quantum of the damage, the fair and complete damage calculation may not be the favourite one.
In today's economically more difficult times, the utilisation of synergies can be helpful and promising achieving better business, but not necessarily investing cash, but instead cooperative means.
Such cooperative means, we apply to, will neither burden your business with undue tasks nor takes, but just do it the right way, so that some cooperative actions can enhance business competence, client service and success in turn.
Enhancing competence will be reached, if additional services can be given to clients or potential clients, best without the need to be paid for it. In the case we regard to, in connection with RAMLA, we do mean solutions your client will be convinced being in the right place and get paid for car accident losses, in order to have funds - or at least to recover funds spent - for the physical repair of the damaged motor car.
This can be achieved as follows:
1. The workshop should provide one, but qualified damage repair calculation, that can match the relative simple Insurance Assessments. It follows, that we only carry forward one - qualified repair calculation - and not three, as there will only be one assessment and not three.
That will bring the practical repair business to the workshop, which performed the assessment and repair calculation, manifested either in a report or quotation and takes away the risk losing the business to a competitor, who intentionally quoted short, being the cheapest in town.
2. By way informing the client, coming in for a quotation, about the RAMLA claim solutions, showing him/her the avenue to find the right partner claiming for the financial compensation to be paid, the dispute solved or defence against an unreasonable or inflated claim handled, practical collaboration is established, should the customer mandate RAMLA.
RAMLA can perform for them as to the individual tasks and back the workshop for its one quote policy, if not immediately accepted by those the claim is directed to.
Fairness however would compel, that a request for a cross assessment must be accepted, should the other party be able and willing to send a competent and professional damage assessor, who do have the credentials to be an expert.
As laid out above, such cross assessment should not come to a very different result, as those findings in the workshops assessment.
As RAMLA works decisive and swiftly and even more affordable as comparable other legal services, but above all as a specialised expert, only dealing with MVA matters, the experience is the advantage for a client.
We all know, as sooner the funds for the repair are available, as sooner the repairs can be done.
3. As a result of the aforesaid, trust will be built between the client - workshop and RAMLA, which in turn is the platform for continued business by whay of the high value "mouth to mouth" recommendation.
4. It goes without saying that a RAMLA client, coming from the local area in which the partner business is located, will be recommended to that workshop, for quote and repair.
What will be your benefit when cooperate with RAMLA?
1. Tie the customer to your workshop, initially for accident repairs, and continue business for any other customer needs in your area of commerce.
2. Receive locally residing RAMLA clients/members as customer.
3. Add valuable and free extra service to your business, when informing car accident customers, about RAMLA claim services, which may be very welcome.
4. RAMLA certification and recommendation will present your business as competent, trustworthy and fair.
5. Free listing on RAMLA local web pages, to be selected by public clients for service
6. Free extended web page space on an own sub web page, within the RAMLA info platform, to more detailed showcase your business.
7. Incentives, rewards and commission schemes, for actively inform your customers, about RAMLA car accident solutions, which lead to continued new mandates.
Pay nothing for such advantages, but be able to receive! to good to be true? No, please check the RAMLA offer.
Why does RAMLA - Road Accident Management & Legal Action - want cooperation with the Auto repair business?
RAMLA today is an experienced specialised expert in all matters of motor vehicle accident problems and solutions. As our core business, we deal with solutions for client's, to sort out material motor car accident damage compensations claims, disputes, defences, motor insurance declines and disputes etc.
The goal is, to support clients getting damages or losses in traffic accident matters paid, or defended against unreasonable or inflated claims.
RAMLA started off the business in 2009, based on a unique business model to concentrate intelligence and resources in a central office to work from and chooses the Internet as main source of marketing.
For those like more information of how we operate from our central office and how positive we perform, kindly contact us in that regard.
As time brings some growth and as all successful businesses always look for opportunities to do better, we decided that the marketing model - just via Internet - may still be too early for the wider South African population and that conventional marketing should bring a boost for our services.
As we strive to offer high quality accident damage recovery solutions, but focus on a affordable cost/service level for a wider public, we are forced to hold overhead costs low and need to be effective in marketing, without spending as much, that we need to increase fees, unreasonable.
One of the effective ways detected will be the cooperation with those businesses in the tangling Industries, especially the Auto Body Repair Sector.
Visiting an Auto Body Repair Business, on the way for a physical repair solution, no motorist confronted with traffic accident damage can get around, if not faced with a "write off" or being able repairing such damages themselves. In other words, the ideal point to meet someone in need for even a legal solution, is the Auto Body Repair / Panel beating Workshop.
As perfect as central services may be, the lack being in personal contact with the client is evident.
An interested workshop can at least tell something about RAMLA, once some interaction took place and can initially serve as a connector.
Trust building - not only between RAMLA and the workshop, but even with the client/customer, is an important factor for long term mutual business, and trust can be established on a mutual basis, if the workshop is interested, by just engage a little bit.
An active and interested workshop, will certainly do have other benefits than just those non-financial, mentioned above. There are certainly financial rewards or incentives, depending on the level of engagement.
In order to support such activities, RAMLA has developed a small portfolio of marketing support items, which will be available to a cooperative business to support the flow of information and to limit the efforts the business personnel.
Client's questions and possible introduction regarding RAMLA
Should there be an option that open up a possibility to talk to the client about further repercussions of the car accident, such as putting forward the question:
Do you have a solution to claim damages already?
And if the answer isn't as decisive or even affirms not to have a solution right now it may be the time to just mention to know about such option. Should an interesting response be received, go a little bit further to reply to customer's questions, such as:
Who is RAMLA and what credential do they have in recovering actions? - Just suggest to hand over a pamphlet.
Did you work with them before and what have been the results? - This one is to own discretion.
How do they operate and where is the office to see them? - Will be nice if explained and thereafter hand over the pamphlet.
That may already be it.

RAMLA upgrade local web pages for the local automotive business
As mentioned earlier, RAMLA establish local web content in relation with services and business offers in the automotive industry on the local level, such as cities, towns or even sometimes villages.
The content of those pages already existing and having some regular visits, aren't good enough to attract more web traffic and needed to be upgraded. This is what we are going to do; containing fresh ideas to complete and make such information's more attractive.
Such local content pages will focus on providing local people browsing, with information around issues and contacts of businesses serving the motorist.
Offers from cooperating businesses, awarded the opportunity showcasing its range of services on those pages, free of charge or obligations.
Furthermore we like to provide some local general content, preferred around matters of interest for motorist. Therefore we would like welcome any collaboration from local businesses providing us with such.
Click here to check a sample page in SampleTown
For some more active partnerships, an additional and particular individual sub-page is offered (free of financial contributing), predominantly for collaborating partners, enlisted as RAMLA network members, to present the own business advantages in more detail.
As much different the industries tangling around motor vehicle accident matters may be, but what is in common for all, we're striving for good business and welcome utilizing the opportunity, presenting the own business/workshop to potential customers.
The experience, RAMLA gathered over the years of performance, are that the utilisation of the Internet getting to a more and more intensively expected level of usage, for the search of any kind of solutions, services or businesses. That will certainly even be so, finding local offers, business and services in the auto mobile sector, in South Africa.
Having a chance to be found on the www - world wide web - some efforts must be maintained constantly, a smaller and not specialised enterprise may either not budget for or do have the ability to do the job in-house. External IT services are quite expensive.
As RAMLA's main marketing channel is the www, we are compelled to maintain our web offer constantly, which in turn can benefit those participants, enlisted as network partner and make use of the offered free own subpage under the local (city, suburb, town or village) info page, to be found and selected for business, much more predictable and easily as may be own pages.
While RAMLA is busy in setting up or renew those local city, town or village pages, of which some are created already, but with insufficient content and layout, we welcome any input from businesses or other interested poople in the local area.
The content of those pages will refer to the specific area, provide information to motorist how to find services of the industries and sectors, and further refer to motor car accident matters, in particular solving repair problems or legal/compensation dispute issues, emanating from destruction of vehicles.
Therefore those industries identified will be highlighted and local businesses related to solutions, preferrable of those businesses enlisted with RAMLA, will be displayed.
There will be contact and location details on display and further the option to a linked sub-web page, individually created for the network business. Such sub-page may even have a link to the business own web pages, to create contact and business.
RAMLA intends to underline its local competence with such forum; despite we don't have or maintain offices locally. Throughout our local network cooperating partners, we like establish our link to conventional direct marketing and those prepared to support such desire, will be rewarded with the individual sub-web page and do have the option to participate in intensives or financial bonus reward schemes, RAMLA offers more active businesses to participate.
One of those intensives may be, free claim pursuit, should one of the company vehicles be involved in a motor car collision and support needed to sort out consequences. Others are financial reward schemes or holiday intensives etc.
We do hope we could explain our motivation fairly and further hope the reader have understood the benefits for a local business and in turn join and become a local RAMLA network cooperation member.
Hope hearing from you soon,
Regards, Groete,
RAMLA managing director.
