It is a community relations program intended to build good will at the local level, while improving and promoting the image of the collision industry on a national level. Insurance companies, paint and parts vendors donate their resources to assist collision repair facilities in making this project possible. The National Auto Body Council (NABC) recently announced the 2010 Recycled Rides Project is off and running with the goal of donating 150 refurbished vehicles to families in need throughout the United States.http://www.recycledrides.org.
