When it looks likely that costly repairs will result in a vehicle being written off, Volkswagen Group offers an alternative solution: the Total Loss Avoidance (TLA) Programme brought to you by TPS.

Vehicles that might have otherwise been written off are kept on the road because Volkswagen Group TLA offers additional discounts on parts to get the repair costs either below, or closer to, the write-off threshold.

This means bodyshops keep repairs in their workshops. And because Volkswagen Group Approved Genuine Parts are designed to fit first time, every time, they can be confident that the repair will be off the ramp and back on the road as quickly as possible – reducing key to key times and making space for the next repair.

We only provide Volkswagen Group Approved Genuine Parts that are specifically made for Audi, Volkswagen, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, SEAT, CUPRA, and Škoda.

By using these parts, bodyshops can guarantee a reliable repair and will get customers back behind the wheel of the car they love. These parts, which are the same as used in new vehicle production, come with a comprehensive warranty, giving everyone involved peace of mind.
