Right2Drive at the Collision Repair Expo: Driving Connections, Building Partnerships

Australia's collision repair industry came together on Thursday 14 April for the Collision Repair Expo and Right2Drive was proud to be part of it. The Collision Repair Expo is the country's leading showcase for the collision repair and bodyshop sector. It brings together technicians, spray painters, workshop owners, suppliers and manufacturers to explore the latest technology, equipment and services shaping the future of the industry. For us, it was the perfect setting to meet the people and businesses that sit at the very heart of what we do. Partnering with SmartSafe: Where Innovation Meets the Road Our highlight of the expo was teaming up with <a href="https://safedrive.group/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Safe Drive Group</a> to supply a branded vehicle for <a href="https://smart-safe.com.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SmartSafe's</a> stand. Our car sat front and centre, drawing eyes and sparking conversations throughout the day. SmartSafe Australia is the major distributor of SmartSafe products across Australia and New Zealand. They supply automotive diagnostic and calibration solutions to the trade. Safe Drive Group is a Victorian specialist in ADAS calibration and module programming. They work with repairers, insurers and drivers to make sure the safety systems in modern vehicles are recalibrated to manufacturer standards after a repair. The collaboration made sense from the start. Every vehicle involved in a collision needs its ADAS systems recalibrated before it's safe to return to the road. That means cameras, sensors and radar all need to be brought back to spec. SmartSafe's technology makes that process fast and accurate for repairers. Right2Drive keeps the driver mobile while the repair happens. Both businesses work toward the same outcome. Drivers and their vehicles back where they belong, on the road and safe. Seeing our branded vehicle take pride of place on SmartSafe's stand was a proud moment for the team. A practical demonstration of how our two worlds connect.<img alt="" src="https://cloud.squidex.io/api/assets/right2drive/eca5212f-af7a-405a-8290-86996b511060/image.png" title="" resizable="false">Our VIC and NZ Sales Teams on the Ground The expo was also a chance to put our people where it matters most. Face to face with the industry. Our Victorian and New Zealand sales teams spent the day with repairers and industry professionals from across the country. Conversations flowed. Connections were made. Our teams spoke about how Right2Drive's replacement vehicle service makes a real difference for drivers, workshops and partners. Events like this are a reminder of why in-person engagement still matters so much. Behind every conversation is the potential for a partnership that creates real value for real people.<img alt="" src="https://cloud.squidex.io/api/assets/right2drive/f7f2b298-b410-4a08-8e49-29b901abc564/image.png" title="" resizable="false">What Right2Drive Brings to the Collision Repair Industry For those new to how we work, Right2Drive provides replacement vehicles to drivers who have been involved in accidents they didn’t cause, at no cost to them. The cost is covered by the other driver's insurer. The not at fault drive stays on the road stress-free while their car is being repaired. For collision repairers and bodyshops, this matters. When a customer's vehicle is sitting in a workshop, the last thing they need is the added anxiety of wondering how they are going to get to work, drop the kids at school or simply get on with their life. Right2Drive removes that burden entirely, allowing repairers to focus on doing what they do best, restoring vehicles to the highest standard while their customers are properly looked after in the meantime. Our service is more than just handing someone a set of keys. It’s about restoring confidence, reducing stress and making people feel genuinely supported at a time when everything can feel a little overwhelming. Connecting with the Heart of the Industry The energy at the Collision Repair Expo was strong. Exhibitors showcased the latest in repair equipment, technology and tools, and visitors came ready to learn, connect and do business. It was a celebration of an industry that is constantly evolving, embracing new vehicle technologies like ADAS and electric vehicles while continuing to develop the skills and partnerships that keep Australian drivers safe. Looking Ahead Right2Drive provides replacement vehicles to drivers across Australia and New Zealand when they didn’t cause the accident. Since 2012, we've helped over 300,000 drivers stay on the road while their car is being repaired. If you’re a repairer and your customer wasn't at fault, they have a legal entitlement to a similar vehicle at no cost to them. We deliver it to a location of their choice and collect it once the repair is done. The cost is covered by the other driver's insurer, so there's nothing for the driver to pay. That means one less thing to worry about. Your customer stays mobile. You stay focused on the repair. To find out how Right2Drive can support your customers, get in touch with our team by calling 1300 100 121. Because every driver has the right to discover their <a href="https://www.right2drive.com.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Right2Drive</a> and we are here to make it happen.<img alt="" src="https://cloud.squidex.io/api/assets/right2drive/16af7b1c-b84e-4222-a179-b09d94a7ac5b/image.png" title="" resizable="false">
