Our Mission

In touch with the industry it serves SAMBRA’s National management, regional representatives, researchers and administrative staff comprise a mix of individuals with many years’ of experience in the motor and motor body repair industry. Our experience and constant research ensures that we remain in touch with not only the latest industry developments, but also the business and skills development needs of the industry.

SAMBRA is a recognized and highly respected authority in the motor body repair industry that works in close collaboration with all businesses that either supply to or utilize the services of the South Africa MBR industry.

SAMBRA represents the majority of the South African Motor Body Repairers that are able to achieve the standards of the SAMBRA grading system. While this grading system was devised to allow all levels of MBRs to become a SAMBRA member, restrictions are placed on our members in terms of the scope of work they are permitted to carry out. SAMBRA members are either graded non-structural or structural.
