When it comes to collision repair, there’s no shortage of myths and misconceptions floating around. Unfortunately, believing some of these myths can cost you time, money, and even compromise the safety of your vehicle. At Modern Auto Body in Edmonton, we’re here to set the record straight and help you make informed decisions about your repairs.
Myth #1: “Any shop can fix my Luxury or Performance Vehicle.”
The truth: Not all repair shops are created equal. Brands like Tesla, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, and other luxury vehicles require specialized equipment and OEM-approved training to repair properly. At Modern Auto Body, we’re OEM- and Tesla-approved, which means your vehicle is repaired to the manufacturer’s exact standards—keeping your warranty intact and your car safe on the road.
Myth #2: “Aftermarket parts are just as good as OEM.”
The truth: Aftermarket parts may look similar, but they don’t always meet the strict quality and safety standards of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts. Using non-certified parts can affect the structural integrity of your vehicle, reduce resale value, and may even void your warranty. We only use OEM parts to ensure your vehicle is repaired the right way, every time.
Myth #3: “Insurance companies decide where I have to go.”
The truth: In Alberta, you have the right to choose your repair shop. While insurers may recommend certain shops, the choice is ultimately yours. Choosing an OEM-certified shop like Modern Auto Body ensures your car is restored with the highest standards of safety and quality.
Myth #4: “All body shops are basically the same.”
The truth: Collision repair is a highly specialized trade. The difference between a general shop and a certified, advanced facility like Modern Auto Body is significant. From state-of-the-art tools to factory-trained technicians, we offer a level of precision that protects your vehicle’s performance, safety systems, and long-term value.
