On July 14, 2020, a deserving Burlington family experienced a life-changing event – the presentation of a vehicle to provide them independence and the ability to work and take care of their families – thanks to Deery Collision Center and car donor State Farm, along with the National Auto Body Council Recycled Rides® program.
The recipients were Matt and Betty Burns of Burlington, IA.
NABC Recycled Rides® is a unique program in which businesses representing all facets of the collision repair industry team up to repair and donate vehicles to individuals and families in need of reliable transportation. Since the inception of the NABC Recycled Rides® program in 2007, members of the National Auto Body Council® have donated more than 2,500 vehicles valued at more than $34 million.

That effort equates to a 4:1 ROI in dollar value delivered from NABC™ membership dollars. The National Auto Body Council® is changing the paradigm of how the collision industry works and is viewed.
