How the program works
RVP sells original-equipment collision components that have been repaired and recertified as individual, serialized units — not batches, not grades applied to a bin. Each unit carries its own inspection record, and that record is what the certificate is built from.
Every unit is individually recertified
A core is received, repaired, and inspected against a defined test set for that part type. The inspector, their licence number, the date, and each test performed are recorded against that unit’s serial number. A unit that fails is recorded as failed and cannot be sold — that rule is enforced by the database, not by procedure.
Certificates issue on settlement, never before
When payment settles, RVP issues a serialized certificate for each unit and binds coverage to the VIN it was sold against. Nothing issues on an unpaid order, and coverage cannot be moved to a different vehicle once bound.
Anyone can verify a certificate
Each certificate carries a QR code pointing at a public verification page. It shows the vehicle, the part, the recertification record, the shop, and the coverage window — and deliberately shows nothing else. No pricing, no claim number, no personal information, and only the last eight characters of the VIN. Try it.
What coverage actually is
Coverage runs 12 months from the moment payment settles, is bound to the VIN, and transfers with the vehicle. It covers failure of the recertified component attributable to the repair — not new collision damage, not unrelated failure. Because the term is short, the settlement timestamp and the VIN are recorded exactly and printed on the certificate: whether a claim falls inside or outside the window is a matter of record, not argument. Backing: Self-funded program reserve — not insurer-backed. Claims are paid from a reserve held by RVP. This is not an insurance policy and no third-party insurer has assumed the risk. That will change only when an underwriter is contracted, and this page will say so when it does.
Carrier participation
A carrier opting into the program is a separate decision from a shop buying a part. Where a carrier has not opted in, the site says so at checkout and on the order. A recertified part is still a part the shop can buy — but nobody should read it as pre-approved reimbursement.
