COLLISION AUTO PARTS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
PARTS
Our online store is built for commercial body shop professionals so it isn’t consumer-friendly, we recommend that you call us or use the “Contact Us” link below for our general public requests.
We focus on aftermarket collision parts. Our most popular parts are bumpers, hoods, fenders, lights, mirrors, radiators, grilles, mounting brackets, etc.
We carry collision parts for all the major car manufacturers including Domestic, Japanese, German, Korean, and more.
We typically carry parts for the 10 most recent years for passenger cars and 15 years for passenger trucks. For example in 2023 we would carry 2010-2024 model year parts for cars and 2005-2024 model year parts for passenger trucks.
We are a parts store so all of our parts come primed and ready-to-paint but we don’t have any facilities to paint the parts. On the other hand we know a few thousand body shops in-state and out-of-state that do this type of work daily. Feel free to ask us for a recommendation local to your home or work.
We do carry a few interior parts like door handles, windows regulators (the motor that moves your power windows), windows washer tanks, coolant tanks, inner fender liners (the plastic piece covering the top half of your wheel well), truck side quarter panels, plastic engine covers, and hood hinges.
We don’t carry mechanical (alternators), electrical (switches/fuses), or paint products (clearcoat, basecoat, primer)
For new body styles our manufacturers typically wait a year or two till there is enough volume of the new style cars on the road before they start manufacturing parts for us. Sometimes we get them the first year, other times it may take 2-3 years before an aftermarket version is available.
The certified parts we sell are aftermarket parts that are certified by a 3rd party such as CAPA or NSF. These organizations certify that the parts for 2 major categories:
1) the parts are certified to fit as an OE part would.
2) The parts are equivalent in safety (sometimes more) than the original OE part.
Uncertified parts are the same parts by the same manufacturer but just do not carry the 3rd party certification costs.
We typically recommend that everyone get a certified part for any major component of the car. A few components like radiators, door handles, and mirrors do not have certified versions and will fit your car without the added costs.
Another way to look at it is that if you plan on keeping your car for 5 years or more, get a certified part. If you plan on selling your car soon, an uncertified part may be the most cost-effective answer.
We offer a variety of parts to our customers including certified and uncertified aftermarket parts as cost-effective alternatives to the OE parts. Most people already know to go to the dealer for OE parts, our focus is to provide high-quality aftermarket alternatives for our customer base.
