FAQ

Estimate pricing can vary a lot. Price differences can be due to the quality of parts, differences in labor times and differences in repair procedures being quoted. If you have received more than one estimate, we would be happy to review them and explain what you are getting with each estimate. Lower priced estimates might have left out necessary repairs, parts or quality. Ask questions about your estimates to ensure you understand what you are paying for (or not paying for).

Absolutely! You have the legal right to choose Dacus Auto Body & Collision Repair or any shop you trust, no matter what your insurance company suggests. Some insurers may try to steer you toward their preferred shops, but you are not required to use them.

At Dacus Auto Body & Collision Repair, we prioritize high-quality repairs, OEM parts, and your vehicle’s safety—ensuring it meets the highest standards. Don’t let your insurance company decide for you—it’s your car, your choice!

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by the same company that produced the original parts for your vehicle. They are designed to match the exact specifications of your car, ensuring proper fit, function, and safety. Choosing OEM parts helps maintain your vehicle’s original performance and crashworthiness.

Aftermarket parts, however, are produced by third-party manufacturers and made to fit multiple vehicle models. While they may be more affordable, they don’t always meet the same quality or safety standards as OEM parts. This can lead to issues with fit, durability, and even your vehicle’s overall safety in the event of a collision.

For repairs, choosing OEM parts helps protect your vehicle’s integrity and ensures it meets the manufacturer’s safety standards.

We are proudly OEM Certified for FCA (Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram), Ford, and GM. These certifications mean we meet the manufacturers' strict repair standards, use OEM-approved parts, and follow factory-approved repair procedures to ensure your vehicle is restored to its original safety and performance.

We are continuously working to expand our certifications and aim to add two more in the next year.

You can verify our certifications and locate us through the official manufacturer shop locators:
