Getting into a collision is a very unfortunate event. Nevertheless, it happens from time to time. After a collision, we recommend bringing your vehicle to our Toyota collision center in Baltimore, MD. Learn why a dealership collision center is advantageous over an independent auto shop.
Collaboration with Insurers
Our dealership collision center works with most insurance companies. Just contact your insurer after a collision and make an appointment with our dealership to bring in your vehicle for repairs. We will take care of most of the logistics with your insurance group. This makes the process less of a headache on your end.
OEM Parts
A collision may cause more than just damage to the frame. It may also damage sensitive parts, such as engine and transmission components. A dealership will replace these with OEM parts, identical to the factory components.
In an effort to cut down on costs, third-party auto shops may use aftermarket parts. These provide a less-than-ideal fit and may not have the same quality and longevity as OEM parts.
Knowledgeable Technicians
The technicians at our Toyota dealership work exclusively on Toyota models. They must also undergo recertification annually to remain qualified.
Mechanics at a third-party auto shop are generalists and may not have the expertise required of working with specific Toyota models.
In-Facility Perks
Our dealership also provides additional benefits, such as a free estimate, on-site car rental center, and a fully stocked lounge with complimentary refreshments. These aren’t absolutely essentials, but they do make the process more easy-going.
Heritage Toyota Catonsville performs collision repairs on all Toyota models, including pickup trucks like the Toyota Tacoma and SUVs like the Honda Pilot. For best results, we highly recommend our dealership collision shop over an independent auto shop.
