Membership in the BVAT

We’re glad you’re interested in becoming a member of BVAT!
Everyday experience shows again and again:
Competition between businesses is one thing – representing the common interests of the hail repair industry as a whole is another.
Even BVAT members compete with one another, but that doesn’t stop them from supporting the greater cause.
BVAT represents the interests of the entire industry – regardless of competition!
