Have Tariffs Imposed a Threat on Automotive Parts Ordering?

What we know about the tariffs and the automotive repair industry.

The one thing we can confidently say is that OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part prices have come down significantly, which means we’re now able to use more of the right parts for your vehicle—parts specifically designed by the manufacturer for optimal performance and safety.

Insurance companies often write estimates using recycled or aftermarket parts (commonly referred to as non-OEM). While these parts may meet basic standards, we’ve always made it a priority to use OEM parts whenever possible, even if it means tighter margins for us. Why? Because we believe your vehicle deserves the same care and quality we’d expect for our own.

We understand that choosing a repair shop you can truly trust is difficult, especially when it comes to ensuring that cost-saving decisions don’t come at the expense of your car’s integrity. That’s why we’re committed to doing what’s right—not just what’s easy.

At the end of the day, our loyalty is to you—our customer—not the insurance carriers or suppliers. You can count on us to advocate for your best interests every step of the way. Your safety and satisfaction will always be our top priorities.
