COMMON AUTO BODY COLLISION REPAIR MYTHS:
Myth #1 – You Have to Use the Repair Shop Your Insurance Company Recommends.
Myth #2 – Only the Dealership Has OEM Parts.
Myth #3 – Once the Frame is Damaged It Can’t Be Fixed.
- The insurance company’s goal is to gain profits by paying out as little as possible on a claim. One way they do this is by recommending you have your car repaired at the cheapest collision repair center they can find. You always have the option to go with the insurance company’s recommendation but why not use one you know and trust?
- Whether your claim is through your insurance provider or paying privately we will assist you through the entire process.
Myth #2 – Only the Dealership Has OEM Parts.
- Don’t let the dealer or the insurance company fool you into believing that only the dealerships have OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts, because this is simply not true. At California Coach Craft Collision Center, we have the same OEM parts as the dealership. Believing this myth could cost you much more for collision repair work.
Myth #3 – Once the Frame is Damaged It Can’t Be Fixed.
- If the frame has been damaged but not weakened, most likely it can be fixed. Most people believe that once the frame has been damaged the car must be “totaled” but this is simply not true. Newer frames such as uni-body frames are often repaired. The best person to determine if the car frame can be repaired is a trained Collision Repair Specialist like us.
- Don’t fall into the trap of these common auto body collision repair myths. Always talk to an auto body repair specialist before following the advice of the insurance companies. Remember, you are under no obligation to take your car to the auto collision center they suggest. So, ask around, check them out and then decide where you want to have your car repaired.
