The Hidden Risks of Cutting Corners: Why Original Parts Matter

When you file an insurance claim, the priority for many insurance companies is often cost management rather than vehicle integrity. Because insurers want to keep repair costs down, they will usually specify the use of salvaged, aftermarket, or remanufactured parts.

While this saves the insurance company money, it can come at a cost to you. These third-party alternatives often lack the rigorous engineering standards of genuine components. This could, of course, lead to parts that don’t have the same fit, finish, quality, and durability of original Ford parts.

Safety and Technology: A System That Must Work Together

Modern vehicles are no longer just metal and rubber; they are sophisticated computers on wheels. Today's cars are equipped with advanced driver-assist systems (ADAS), such as lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking. These systems rely on sensors and cameras that are often housed in bumpers, grilles, and windshields.

Using generic aftermarket parts can interfere with these sensitive technologies. To ensure optimal safety and performance in today’s advanced driver-assist systems, all parts must work together as a system.

By choosing Ford of Homewood and requesting Original Ford Parts, you ensure your vehicle’s safety ecosystem remains intact and functional.

Empower Yourself: Know Your Rights

One of the biggest misconceptions in collision repair is that the driver has no say in the process. Insurance agents may steer you toward their "preferred" shops or insist on cheaper repairs, but you have specific protections.

• It’s your car, and it’s your choice. You have the right to select the collision center that fixes your vehicle. Your insurance provider cannot dictate where you go. If you trust the experts at Ford of Homewood, you have the legal right to bring your vehicle to us.
• You have the right to pick the kinds of parts that are used in the repair. You do not have to accept subpar aftermarket parts if you prefer Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts.
• You are not required to leave your vehicle at the shop just to get the repair process started. You can hold onto your keys until you are ready.
