Want to know more about Collision Repair?

OEM Parts: OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. These are new parts made by the manufacturer of your car and for your car.  Stuart Powell Ford endorses their use.
Reconditioned Parts: Reconditioned parts are original equipment factory parts that are used or refurbished. Most insurance policies have provisions for the use of these parts.
Aftermarket Parts: Aftermarket parts are made with different manufacturing methods, materials and standards. Because they are not made by the original equipment manufacturer, they generally do not meet manufacturer specifications.  These parts also carry no warranty by your vehicle's manufacturer. To become a "certified" aftermarket part, the industry has mandated that it meet 90% of the original specifications. Some insurance companies require the use of aftermarket parts for the repair. You as the consumer, have the right to choose whether these parts are used in the repair of your vehicle, but may incur the additional expense to use OEM parts.  Please consult your insurance provider for more specific information.
The Repair Process: The best time to consider what you would do if your vehicle was involved in an accident or fender bender is BEFORE you have the accident! Take a few minutes to review your insurance policy so there will be no surprises regarding your coverage. Then if you do need body work:
