The economic crisis follows pushing to the drivers to abandon his vehicles in the workshop already was by not being able to face up to the bill or because directly it does not go out them to account repair his old utilitario. From here that the Spanish workshops have sent to the desguace 1.300 abandoned tourisms by his owners in his installations in 2012, 8% more in comparison with the previous year, according to a report presented by the National Association of Sellers of Vehicles to Engine, Repair and Spare parts (Ganvam).

This report, that analyses for the first time these ‘abandonments' by type of vehicles, shows how, after the tourisms, are the commercial light, with 350 units, those that more tend to ‘forget' in the workshops after the repair, followed of the motorcycles and mopeds, with almost a hundred. In total, during the past year more than 1.800 vehicles were abandoned to his luck in the workshops, what supposes some losses of three million annual euros for the businesses of posventa that hardly will be able to earn the bill of the repair.

Ganvam -that represents to 4.600 dealers/official services and 3.000 compraventas- signals that this bad practical, softened thanks to the entrance in force does two years of the new Law of hygiene Vial, is directly related with the crisis because of the increasing aging of the park by the fall of sales, the estiramiento of the useful life of the vehicles and the greater demand of trucks of more than ten years. Only in this period more than 3.000 vehicles commanded to the desguace thanks to this recent normative.

To avoid that the number of abandonments of the vehicles go in increase, Ganvam recommends to the workshops that before realising the repair inform painstakingly to the customer of the cost that this can comport so that they know for sure if it compensates them go forward with the operation of arrangement.

By communities, Castile-La Mancha is the region where the workshops sent a greater number of vehicles to the desguace the past year (556), followed of Andalucia (382), Aragon (309) and Galicia (205). To some distance find Catalonia and the Community of Madrid, with 54 vehicles each one; the Valencian Community (52) and Balearic (46). By his part, Basque Country contabilizó a total of 37 trucks, whereas Castile and Leon and Extremadura added 32 and 30, respectively.
