Don’t worry about THE LITTLE DINGS IN LIFE! TRAFICC Ding to Bling (D2B) provides for the removal of minor dents, scratches and windscreen chips & cracks, keeping your vehicle in showroom condition.
Why do I need this?
Because Dings Happen! Sooner or later even the most pristine vehicle will get a ding, scratch or chipped windscreen. After all, there are only two kinds of vehicles: those with dents, and those that will get them.
The world is filled with careless drivers, clumsy pedestrians, poles and shopping carts that go out of their way to diminish not only the look of your ‘perfect’ vehicle but its value too. And if this isn’t bad enough the driving conditions and road surfaces in your area will probably lead to stone chip damage to your windscreen. TRAFICC D2B is a maintenance plan that can protect your investment from the dangers of everyday driving, helping to keep your vehicle in showroom condition without ever losing your No Claim Bonus.
I already have comprehensive insurance – why should I buy TRAFICC D2B?
TRAFICC D2B provides for the restoration of the paintwork damaged as a result of wear and tear arising out of day to day driving. It covers the minor damage that would typically fall in the excess of your comprehensive insurance. So you no longer have to compromise your monthly budget or your No Claims Bonus to ensure your vehicle stays in tip top condition! TRAFICC recommends panel beaters who can take care of your repairs for you, or you can use a recognised and registered panel beater of your choice. Should you decide to sell your vehicle, TRAFICC D2B is transferable to its next owner, so it doesn’t just maintain the value of your vehicle by repairing minor damages – it also potentially increases your vehicle’s resale value.
