Why Panel Replacement Is Important

What it does

Panel replacement involves removing damaged exterior body panels and installing new OEM or quality aftermarket replacements. When damage to doors, fenders, quarter panels, hoods, or trunk lids is too extensive for repair, replacement provides a structurally sound and visually perfect solution.

When replacement is necessary vs. repair

Panel replacement becomes necessary when damage compromises structural integrity, when repairs would cost more than replacement, or when excessive previous repairs make new damage difficult to address. Our technicians assess each situation to determine the most cost-effective and structurally sound approach.

Benefits of OEM vs. aftermarket panels

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) panels offer perfect fitment and material quality identical to your vehicle's original parts. Aftermarket panels can provide cost savings while still meeting quality standards. We discuss both options with you, considering your vehicle's age, value, and your specific needs.

How Our Panel Replacement Process Works

1. Comprehensive Damage Evaluation

We begin with a thorough assessment of the damaged panel and surrounding areas, checking for hidden structural damage and determining whether repair or replacement is the most appropriate solution.

2. Panel Selection and Sourcing

Based on your vehicle's specifications and your preferences, we source either OEM panels directly from the manufacturer or high-quality aftermarket alternatives. We provide transparent pricing and explain the benefits of each option.

3. Precision Removal and Installation

Our technicians carefully remove the damaged panel, preserving surrounding components. The new panel is precisely fitted, welded, bolted, or bonded according to manufacturer specifications to ensure proper structural integrity and gap alignment.

4. Color Matching and Integration

After installation, we apply our expert paint and refinishing process to match the new panel perfectly with your vehicle's existing color. We ensure seamless blending for an appearance that shows no signs of replacement.

My insurance is telling me I can only go to their recommended body shop, what do I do?

Don't let your insurance company fool you! Know your rights.

In the state of California, YOU have the right to choose a repair facility of your choice.

Insurance companies often try to direct customers to their preferred shops for cost reasons, but this is not required by law.

Here's what California legislation says:

"(b) (1) This section does not limit the right of an insured to select, or prohibit an insured from selecting, the auto body repair shop or other repair facility to repair the damaged vehicle"

- DIVISION 1. GENERAL RULES GOVERNING INSURANCE [100 - 1879.8]
- PART 1. THE CONTRACT [100 - 679.74]
- CHAPTER 6. Loss [520 - 580]

Collision or comprehensive... Will my insurance go up?

Insurance policies usually cover two types of damage: collision and comprehensive.

COMPREHENSIVE:
This type of damage generally will not increase your premium. It covers situations out of your control, including:
• Windshield or glass damage
• Hitting an animal (e.g., deer)
• Storm damage (wind, hail, flood)
• Vandalism or theft (police reports may be required)

COLLISION:
Premiums may go up only if you are found to be over 49% at fault.
• Insurance companies assess fault.
• If not at fault, you won’t pay your collision deductible.
• If found not at fault after paying the deductible, you will be reimbursed.
Collision includes:
• Colliding with another vehicle
• Sliding into objects on ice
• Pothole damage

Will SSR Autobody work with my insurance?

Yes, we work with ALL insurance companies!
