Frequently Asked Questions
What parts do body shops need most for collision repair?
Body shops most commonly need bumper covers and reinforcements, hoods, fenders, doors, quarter panels, headlights, taillights, grilles, and structural components like radiator supports and frame rails. The specific parts depend on the collision damage pattern.
Should body shops use OEM or aftermarket parts for collision repair?
The choice depends on insurance requirements, customer preference, and vehicle age. OEM parts are required for warranty repairs and preferred by many insurance carriers. Quality aftermarket parts (CAPA-certified) are acceptable for many repairs and offer cost savings. Salvage OEM parts offer a middle ground.
How do body shops source parts efficiently?
Professional body shops use parts procurement platforms, direct dealer relationships, and recycler networks to source parts efficiently. CheapAuto.pro connects body shops with multiple sourcing channels to find the right parts at competitive prices.
What is CAPA certification for aftermarket parts?
CAPA (Certified Automotive Parts Association) certification indicates that aftermarket parts meet quality standards for fit, finish, and performance comparable to OEM parts. Many insurance carriers accept CAPA-certified parts as alternatives to OEM components.
