Frequently Asked Questions & Answers

Q: Do I have to use the auto body shop that my insurance company recommends?

A: No. Your insurance company may recommend an auto body shop that they have a preferred vendor agreement with. This is not necessarily in the best interest of the vehicle owner. Sometimes these agreements are structured to save the insurance company time and money. You have the right to choose the collision repair shop that you feel comfortable with.

Q: What is the difference between genuine, OEM and aftermarket auto parts?

A: Genuine auto parts: A genuine auto part is a component that was installed in your vehicle when it was factory assembled. Genuine auto parts are typically more expensive than OEM and aftermarket auto parts because they are branded with the vehicle manufacturer logo. This does not necessarily make them better.

What does OEM mean? OEM stands for original equipment manufacturer. Once upon a time, each vehicle manufacturer made the parts that went into their vehicles. Those days are long gone. Today, most parts are contracted out and made by authorized 3rd party companies in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications. OEM auto parts are the same parts and made by the same company that provided the original parts used at the time of the vehicle’s initial factory assembly. The only difference is that these parts will not carry the vehicle manufacturer’s logo. OEM parts typically cost less than genuine auto parts. Read More

Aftermarket auto parts: After a car is manufactured, companies will either buy the rights to reproduce parts or they will reverse engineer the parts and create similar parts that are compatible with OEM versions. In most cases, these parts will perform well and deliver the same function to operate the vehicle.

Q: If my vehicle is in an accident and a collision repair is needed, what kind of parts will the auto body shop use?

A: This is largely determined by your insurance policy. The insurance company is supposed to do what it can to restore your vehicle back to its condition before the collision . Some insurance policies allow for OEM parts and other do not. Older vehicles and models that have been discontinued may not have OEM parts that are still available. In these cases, aftermarket or reconditioned parts may be the only option available to the auto body shop.

Q: What is frame damage on a car?

A: The frame of your car, commonly referred to as the chassis, is made of steel or aluminum. It is the structural support system for the entire vehicle. The purpose of the car frame is to:

Support the vehicle’s mechanical components
Support and reinforce the vehicle’s shape
Support the vehicle’s weight
Protect the driver and passengers during a collision

Auto collisions will often cause crumpled panels, alignment problems and bent beams. Any one of these issues can make the vehicle unstable to drive, putting other car parts at risk and compromising the safety of the driver and passengers.

If any part of your vehicle’s structural integrity has been damaged or compromised during a collision, your vehicle has frame damage. It is not uncommon for insurance adjusters to deem the vehicle a total loss when this happens due to the cost it would take for the auto body shop to make this kind of collision repair.

Q: What Is a Totaled Car?

A: When the cost of a collision repair is greater than the value of the vehicle or if the vehicle cannot be made safe again, the vehicle will most likely be declared “totaled”.

When a vehicle is declared to be “totaled”, the insurance company will determine the “actual cash value” of the vehicle prior to the collision and reimburse the police holder that amount, minus any deductibles. If the vehicle is leased or has a loan, the insurance company will reimburse the lessor or lender first.

An insurance adjuster is the only one who can declare whether a vehicle is totaled or not.
