As we mentioned in our first car collision repair myths blog post, there are many misconceptions when it comes to auto repair. Whether it’s a collision, routine maintenance or repair, it’s easy to get wrapped up in collision repair’s unnecessary complications. In this post, we’re busting four more collision repair myths to ensure that your repair process is simple, quick, and well-informed.

 

The Most Common Auto Collision Repair Myths Continued: 

1. You Need More than One Repair Estimate 

Most people assume that finding the right place for collision repair means spending countless hours requesting repair estimates. However, this step is often unnecessary, especially if you do your research beforehand. Plus, repair costs for collision damage shouldn’t vary much from place to place. That being said, if your estimate comes out to be much higher than you anticipated, it may be worth researching online for ballpark estimates, or asking for another opinion.

2. Only Dealers Offer the Best Repairs and OEM Parts

Just because you own a specific vehicle doesn’t mean you have to take it to the dealership anytime something goes wrong! In fact, you’ll most likely find high-quality repairs at a fair price by avoiding dealerships. OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts are typically needed when a significant collision has occurred, seeing as you’ll require replacement parts. Instead of heading to the dealership, try shopping around for parts from local body shops for a better deal without sacrificing quality.

 

3. Only Dealers Offer Warranties for their Repairs

 

A common reason for drivers to head to the dealership for repairs is the promise of warranties. Obtaining a warranty for repairs can help save you money if the completed repairs require extra maintenance or further work down the road. Luckily, dealers aren’t the only ones who offer warranties for repairs; In fact, many body shops offer warranties on their repair services.

 

4. Accident-Related Repaired Vehicles Will Never Be the Same

 

Accidents often result in damages that need repair. At first, you may be shocked to see the dents, scratches, or whatever damages have been done to your car. However, once a professional auto repair is completed, you can rest assured that the vehicle will look great and run smoothly, despite the accident.
