Background

The Research Council for Automobile Repairs was established in 1968 with the objective of bringing together insurance financed Research Centres at least once a year for the purposes of exchanging information on the damageability and repairability design aspects of motor vehicles and the economic repair techniques developed by the various Centres.

The spheres of interest of the Members of RCAR have developed over the years to include safety features, anti-theft measures and recycling.  Between Annual Conferences, the Members are encouraged to communicate and exchange information.
