When it comes to collision repair, many myths and misconceptions can lead car owners to make uninformed decisions. Some believe that only dealerships can provide quality repairs, while others think insurance companies dictate where they must get their car fixed. In reality, independent auto body shops often offer the same or even better service, and you have the right to choose where your vehicle is repaired. Another common myth is that aftermarket parts are inferior to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts, but high-quality aftermarket parts can perform just as well.
