September 12 will see the launch of the first internet TV service specifically for the crash repair industry.

RepairerTV will start with five channels covering industry initiatives, bodyshop business, technical issues, training and products.

Viewed online only, programmes will be added at a rate of three or four per week, and a weekly news review will be followed by a weather report covering how it may affect claims in the following days.

The station launches with interviews with Jason Moseley of Thatcham and Richard Gandy of EurotaxGlass's, and follows a bodyshop through the PAS125 Kitemark standard.

Patrick Crowley, head of production at RepairerTV, said: "I am really excited about the new content we are filming at the moment - we are dealing with thought provoking issues which can only help bodyshops get over some of the hurdles they face."
