Accidents suck. There's no other way to say it. When your car is left in the lurch, it can really hamper your ability to get back to a sense of normalcy. Often, you just want to get back on the road and back up to speed as soon as possible. And with many body shops offering a fast turnaround on parts and repairs, it can be easy to choose the option that gets you back behind the wheel of your vehicle the fastest. But contrary to popular belief, what you don't know can hurt you, or more specifically, your Ford vehicle.
Unlike the scenario in the video above, most body shops won't outright tell you when they're using salvaged or budget parts, and that can lead to some serious trouble when you get back out on the road. You see, many "salvaged" parts actually come from wrecks and scrap facilities, full of vehicle that were either irreparably damaged or not worth fixing. As a result, their parts are of dubious quality, and furthermore, haven't been tested in conjunction with Ford's advanced systems. So not only will these parts likely fail, they may even damage other systems in your vehicle when they do.
So when it comes to recovering from an unfortunate fender bender, don't trust parts you don't know the origin of. Visit our service center at Wilson Motors in Corvallis to get the best in quality auto care using only Genuine Ford parts.
