Benefits, Drawbacks, and How to Choose Oct 28, 2024 | [OEM & Aftermarket Parts](https://sandrofautobody.com/category/parts/) When it comes to vehicle repairs, especially after an accident, the choice of parts can significantly impact the quality, cost, and durability of the repair. Among these options, *aftermarket parts* are one of the most popular alternatives to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. But what exactly are aftermarket parts, and what should you consider when choosing them for your vehicle? ![A storage area in a body shop with vehicle bumpers mounted on the wall, auto glass panels stacked in frames, and other car parts organized across the space.](https://sandrofautobody.com/wp-content/uploads/parts.webp "parts | Sandrof Auto Body") ## Understanding aftermarket parts Aftermarket parts are parts made by companies other than the original vehicle manufacturer. Unlike OEM parts, which are made by the vehicle’s original manufacturer to its exact specifications, aftermarket parts are produced by third-party companies. These parts are designed to function similarly to OEM parts and are typically compatible with a wide range of vehicle makes and models. Aftermarket parts are commonly available for almost every component of a vehicle, from body panels and lights to brakes and filters. Because they’re mass-produced by many companies, they offer a variety of choices in terms of price, quality, and performance, making them an attractive option for budget-conscious consumers and repair shops alike. ## Benefits of Aftermarket Parts One of the main reasons people choose aftermarket parts is affordability. Aftermarket parts are generally less expensive than OEM parts, making them a **cost-effective** option, especially for older vehicles or minor repairs. The **wide range of options** available also means you can find parts that may improve upon the original design or offer enhanced performance. For example, some aftermarket brake pads may provide better stopping power than the OEM version. Another advantage is availability. Aftermarket parts are typically **more readily available** than OEM parts, which can sometimes be backordered or more challenging to find. This can speed up the repair process, getting you back on the road faster. The saying “You get what you pay for” rings true here. Some aftermarket parts are inferior because they use lower-quality materials. Even if they don’t affect the safety or operation of your car, they may simply wear faster and force a trip back to the garage sooner than expected. Edmunds Content Team[Full Edmunds.com Article](https://www.edmunds.com/assets/m/cs/bltb7cbec263536a379/63c7083bf66245026107881f/edmunds.jpg) ## Potential Drawbacks of Aftermarket Parts While aftermarket parts offer several advantages, there are also some potential downsides to consider. **Quality and fit can vary significantly** between manufacturers. Unlike OEM parts, which are made specifically for a given vehicle model, aftermarket parts are often designed to fit multiple vehicles. This can sometimes lead to issues with fit or functionality, which may require further adjustments during installation. Another potential downside is that aftermarket parts may not carry the same warranties as OEM parts. Some vehicle manufacturers **may also void certain warranties** if aftermarket parts are used. Therefore, if your vehicle is still under warranty, you may want to check with your insurance or dealership before opting for aftermarket parts. ![Two technicians installing a bumper on a vehicle at Sandrof Auto Body.](https://sandrofautobody.com/wp-content/uploads/service-tile-bumper-repair.webp "service-tile-bumper-repair | Sandrof Auto Body") ## Aftermarket vs. OEM: Which Is Better? The choice between aftermarket and OEM parts often comes down to personal preference, budget, and the specifics of the repair. OEM parts are generally recommended for newer vehicles, as they help maintain the car’s original performance and fit. However, aftermarket parts can be a smart choice for older vehicles, as they often provide similar functionality at a lower cost. #### How it works Our repair process is designed to provide a seamless experience from start to finish.

Knowing what steps to take immediately afterward can help you stay safe, protect your rights, and ensure a smoother process with your insurance claim. Here’s a comprehensive guide, complete with a checklist, to help you navigate the aftermath of a car accident. #### Step 1: Ensure Safety First Your safety and the safety of others involved should be your top priority. - **Move to Safety:** If possible, pull over to a safe location, away from traffic. Turn on hazard lights to alert other drivers. - **Check for Injuries:** Assess yourself and others for injuries. Call 911 if there are any injuries or significant property damage. - **Stay Calm:** Avoid confrontations and keep a clear head to handle the situation effectively. #### STEP 2: DOCUMENT THE SCENE Gathering detailed information is crucial for your insurance claim and any potential legal action. - **Exchange Information:** Collect names, phone numbers, addresses, insurance details, and license plate numbers from all parties involved. - **Take Photos:** Capture images of all vehicles, damage, the accident scene, and any visible injuries. - **Note the Details:** Write down the time, date, weather conditions, and any relevant road or traffic signals. - **Look for Witnesses:** If bystanders saw the accident, ask for their contact information in case their statements are needed later. #### Step 3: File a Police Report Even for minor accidents, it’s a good idea to contact the police and file a report. This report serves as an official record and can be critical for insurance purposes. - **Provide Honest Information:** Share accurate details about what happened, but avoid admitting fault or making speculative statements. - **Request a Copy:** Obtain a copy of the police report or the report number for reference. #### Step 4: Contact Your Insurance Company Notify your insurance provider as soon as possible to begin the claims process. - **Provide the Facts:** Share the information you gathered, including photos and witness details. - **Understand Your Coverage:** Clarify your policy details, such as deductibles and rental car coverage. - **Stay Organized:** Keep records of all communication with your insurance company. #### Step 5: Seek Repairs with a Trusted Auto Body Shop Choosing the right repair shop is essential for restoring your car to its pre-accident condition. - **Research Options:** Look for reputable, licensed, and certified repair shops like Sandrof Auto Body. - **Get an Estimate:** Request a detailed estimate for repairs and confirm whether the shop works with your insurance company. - **Check Warranties:** Ask about warranties on parts and labor to ensure peace of mind after the repairs. #### Step 6: Monitor Your Health Some injuries may not be immediately apparent. Follow up with a doctor if you experience any symptoms in the days following the accident. - **Keep Medical Records:** Maintain all documentation related to medical visits and treatments. - **Consider Physical Therapy:** If recommended, physical therapy can help with recovery from accident-related injuries. #### Checklist for Handling the Aftermath of an Accident - Ensure safety and move vehicles out of traffic, if possible. - Call 911 for injuries or significant damage. - Exchange information with the other driver(s). - Take photos of the scene, vehicles, and injuries. - Gather witness contact details. - File a police report and request a copy. - Notify your insurance company promptly. - Choose a reputable auto body shop like Sandrof Auto Body. - Follow up on any medical concerns. - Keep organized records of all documents and communications.

Tell us about a time you had to rapidly learn a completely new system, software, or technical process to do your job effectively. How did you tackle the learning curve? \* Disassembly sets the stage for the whole repair; missing hidden damage or losing a clip causes major delays later. Tell us about a time you had to take something apart or organize a complex project. How did you keep track of all the tiny details so the next person in line could succeed? \* Disassembly often reveals unexpected problems that affect the Writer's estimate. Tell us about a time you had to communicate bad news or a roadblock to a teammate or manager. How did you work together to solve it? \* Reassembly is the final step where panel gaps must be perfect and all sensors/systems must work.

Tell us about a time you received tough, constructive feedback on your work. How did you react, and what did you do differently the next time? \* Painting requires perfection—a bad color match or a run ruins the timeline for the customer. Tell us about a time you had to deliver a flawless final product under a tight deadline. How did you balance speed with absolute perfection? \* Painters rely heavily on Preppers and Body Techs. Tell us about a time you noticed a mistake made by someone earlier in the process that would ruin your work.

Tell us about a time you had to perform a strict, detailed quality check or audit. What was your specific method for making sure absolutely nothing slipped through the cracks? \* In addition to handling the physical parts, you must urgently post invoices, process returns for damaged parts, and reorder items in our software so the General Manager's production board is 100% accurate. Tell us about a time you had to juggle physical tasks with urgent computer or administrative work. How did you prioritize your time to ensure the system was quickly updated and your team wasn't left in the dark? \* A great GM builds a culture of continuous improvement.

If you’ve just had an accident, follow these steps: 1. **Ensure Safety** – Check if anyone is injured and call emergency services if needed. 2. **Document the Scene** – Take photos of the damage, get contact information from others involved (always exchange insurance information in case you need it later), and file a police report. 3. **Contact Your Insurance** – Notify your insurance company to start the claims process. They will also help you to get ahold of the other person’s insurance if it was not your fault. 4. **Schedule Repairs** – Reach out to a trusted collision repair shop, like ours, to schedule an assessment of the damage and begin repairs. We’re here to help guide you through the process and restore your vehicle efficiently! ##### How Long Will My Repairs Take? Repair times can vary depending on the extent of the damage and the specific repairs required. Minor repairs may take a few days, while more extensive damage could take longer. At our shops, we provide an estimated completion date after disassembly of the damaged area and assessing your vehicle is complete and strive to finish repairs as efficiently as possible without compromising quality. Our team will keep you updated throughout the process to ensure transparency and minimize any inconvenience. ##### How does the Process work? Our collision repair process is designed to be smooth and transparent from start to finish. Here’s a breakdown of the 10 steps involved: 1. **Check-In** – We begin with a detailed check-in, documenting damages with you, performing a video walk-around, and discussing the accident. 2. **Disassembly & Repair Planning** – We disassemble damaged areas to uncover hidden issues and create an accurate repair plan. 3. **Parts Ordering** – All necessary parts are ordered at once to ensure an efficient repair process with accurate completion dates. 4. **Body Repair** – Our skilled technicians restore the damaged areas to their original condition, ensuring structural integrity and safety. 5. **Paint** – We use precise color-matching technology and high-quality PPG paints to achieve a seamless finish that blends with your vehicle’s original paint. 6. **Reassembly** – We meticulously reassemble your vehicle, ensuring everything is properly aligned and securely installed. 7. **ADAS Calibration** – Advanced safety features are recalibrated to ensure they function accurately, restoring your vehicle’s safety systems. 8. **Detailing** – We thoroughly clean your vehicle, inside and out, making sure it looks as good as new. 9. **Final Quality Control** – While we perform checks throughout, we conduct a thorough inspection to guarantee every detail meets our high standards. 10. **Pickup & Review** – Upon completion, we review the repairs with you, answer any questions, and ensure you’re satisfied before returning your vehicle. This process ensures your vehicle is fully restored to pre-accident condition with exceptional care and quality. ##### When do I pay my deductable? Your deductible is due when the repair work on your vehicle is complete but if you prefer to pay it upfront or during the repair process, we have convenient in person and online payment options available. The deductible is the portion of the repair cost that your insurance requires you to cover if the accident was your fault. If you are the claiment on someone elses insurance claim, you will have no deductable payment. ##### Do you use environmentlay toxic paints? At our shops, we use PPG Envirobase Waterborne Paint, an eco-friendly, water-based paint system. This high-quality paint reduces harmful emissions and minimizes environmental impact, while still delivering a flawless, durable finish. It’s safer for both our technicians and the environment, without compromising the quality of your vehicle’s appearance. ![A technician wearing safety goggles and headphones polishes a car panel with a sanding tool in an auto body repair shop.](https://sandrofautobody.com/wp-content/uploads/edge-prep.webp "edge prep | Sandrof Auto Body") ![A lineup of vehicles at Enterprise Rental, featuring sports cars, small vehicles, SUVs, and large trucks.](https://sandrofautobody.com/wp-content/uploads/ENTERPRISE.webp "ENTERPRISE | Sandrof Auto Body") ## Rental Vehicles ##### How to get a rental Vehicle? Once you have scheduled your drop off date, you will need to follow up with both your insurance company and the rental car company. Your insurance company will need to know you have scheduled repairs in order to set up a direct bill with the rental car company. After they have set up that direct bill, follow up with the rental car company, usually Enterprise or Hertz, to ensure they have all the information they will need from you to make sure they are prepared at the time of drop off. ##### Do I need to pick up the rental first? On the day of drop off, let our staff know which rental company your reservation is with and we will be happy to contact them to make sure they are on their way to pick you up. ##### Where do I drop off my Rental Vehicle? When picking your vehicle up from repair, Enterprise allows you to leave your rental vehicle with us where they will come and pick it up. When using Hertz rentals you will need to drop the rental off with them before picking your vehicle up from repair. ## Parts ##### WILL YOU USE AFTERMARKET OR FACTORY PARTS? Sandrof Auto Body recommends the use of new, original factory parts on all repairs in agreement with manufacturer recommendations. However, depending on the insurance policy, the insurance company may only be willing to pay for aftermarket parts. In this case, if the customer would like new factory parts utilized, the additional cost of the factory parts would be the customer’s responsibility. If you would like new, factory parts regardless of the insurance coverage, please let our office know at the time of drop off so that the file can be notated and one of our repair planners can be in touch with you to discuss the additional out-of-pocket expenses. ##### WILL PARTS BE ORDERED BEFORE I DROP OFF FOR REPAIRS? Sandrof Auto Body preorders parts on an as needed basis. Our parts sourcing team will send out the prewritten estimate to our vendors for pricing and availability. Parts will be preordered if the expected delivery date shows to potentially be a backordered part to ensure that repairs can be completed in a timely manner. Parts that are readily available with a 1-3 day time frame are not ordinarily preordered. Work orders are prepared from the inside out. A prewritten estimate only allows our shop to preorder parts that can be visibly seen without a disassembly. Once the vehicle is dropped off for repairs, one of our talented disassembly technicians will perform a complete and thorough disassembly of the damaged area. Only at this point, is our parts team able to place a complete and accurate order of all of the parts necessary for your repairs. ##### What happens to all the damaged parts and hazardous fluids? All damaged parts and hazardous fluids removed during the repair process are handled responsibly. Damaged parts are either recycled or properly disposed of according to environmental regulations. Hazardous fluids, such as oil, coolant, and refrigerants, are safely collected and disposed of or recycled through certified waste management services. This ensures that all materials are managed in an eco-friendly and compliant manner, minimizing any environmental impact. At our shop, we prioritize safety and sustainability throughout the entire repair process. ![Organized automotive parts on a cart at Sandrof Auto Body repair shop, with a Sheriff’s vehicle in the background.](https://sandrofautobody.com/wp-content/uploads/part-cart.webp "part-cart | Sandrof Auto Body") --- ### [The Most Important Post Repair Care Tips](https://sandrofautobody.com/post-repair-care-tips/) **Published:** October 14, 2024 **Author:** Sandrof Auto Body **Content:** # Vehicle After Care post-repair care tipsAfter your vehicle has been repaired, proper post repair care is essential to maintain its appearance and performance. Following a few simple guidelines can help protect the new paint, bodywork, and any repaired components, ensuring your vehicle stays in top condition and the repairs last for a lifetime. ## the first 90 days The first 90 days after a vehicle is painted are crucial because the paint is still curing and bonding with the surface. During this period, it remains vulnerable to damage from environmental factors like UV rays, dirt, and contaminants. Proper care during this time ensures a durable, high-quality finish and helps prevent issues like scratches, chips, and fading. Following recommended guidelines, such as avoiding harsh cleaners and extreme weather conditions, is essential to protect the integrity of the new paint job and maintain its appearance for years to come. ![Technician carefully detailing the door panel of a gray pickup truck in a well-lit auto body shop.](https://sandrofautobody.com/wp-content/uploads/detailing.webp "detailing | Sandrof Auto Body") ##### Don't use commercial Car Washes Stiff brushes, abrasive sponges, and harsh chemicals can scratch or dull the uncured paint and compromise its finish. We understand the convenience of using a commercial drive through car wash, but especially the first 60 – 90 days it is highly recommended to stay clear and hand wash the vehicle. ##### Hand Wash only Only use cool water, mild soaps and gentle and soft cloths to wash your vehicle to avoid damaging the new paint. Feel free to stop by any of our locations for recommendations on products that we use ourselves. ##### Avoid washing in the sun Avoid washing your vehicle in direct sunlight because the heat can cause soap and water to dry too quickly, leading to streaks, water spots, and soap residue on the paint. This can compromise the appearance of a freshly painted surface and make it harder to achieve a clean finish. Washing in the shade allows for better control and ensures a more effective cleaning process, preserving the vehicle’s appearance. ##### Avoid Gravel Roads Loose gravel stone and rock can chip or scratch the new, uncured paint, compromising its appearance and durability before it fully hardens and becomes more resistant to damage. ##### Clean up spills and bird droppings immediately It’s important to clean up spills from gasoline, oil or other fluids and bird droppings immediately because their acidic content can damage or stain your vehicle’s paint, especially fresh paint. Left untreated, these substances can cause permanent etching or discoloration, compromising the finish and appearance. ##### Avoid parking under trees Tree saps acidity and stickiness can damage or stain your vehicle’s fresh paint. In addition, falling tree nuts in summer and fall can dent the metal and crack the paint. ##### Dont scrape snow or ice Avoid scraping ice and snow from your vehicle’s paint, especially fresh paint, as it can scratch or chip the surface. Hard tools and abrasive actions can damage the finish, leading to visible marks and weakening the paint’s protection. Use gentle methods to remove ice and snow instead. ##### don't polish or wax Avoid polishing or waxing a freshly painted vehicle because the paint needs time to fully cure. Applying wax or polish too soon can interfere with the curing process, trapping solvents and affecting the paint’s finish and durability. Wait at least 60 to 90 days before waxing. ![Close-up of a car hood with small water droplets, showcasing a sleek, glossy finish.](https://sandrofautobody.com/wp-content/uploads/wet-paint.webp "wet-paint | Sandrof Auto Body") ## 90+ days After 90 days, you can safely wash, wax, and polish your vehicle without risking damage to the paint. By this time, the paint has fully cured and bonded, providing a durable and resilient finish. Regular washing helps maintain the vehicle’s appearance and protects against contaminants like dirt, tree sap, and bird droppings. Waxing and polishing can enhance the shine and provide an additional layer of protection against UV rays and environmental factors. Just be sure to use gentle, non-abrasive products to keep the paint looking its best. --- ### [How It Works - The Repair Process - The Sandrof Way](https://sandrofautobody.com/repair-process-the-sandrof-way/) **Published:** October 11, 2024 **Author:** Sandrof Auto Body **Excerpt:** Quality, customer service and efficiency are very important to us, we therefore designed our process to provide a seamless experience from start to finish. **Content:** WordPress › Error There has been a critical error on this website.
