Why you should choose Original Ford Parts when you are in an accident

Because insurerā€™s want to keep repair costs down, theyā€™ll often specify the use of aftermarket, remanufactured, or even salvaged parts. This could, of course, lead to parts that donā€™t have the same fit, finish, quality and durability of Original Ford Parts.

Ford Original Parts are designed and manufactured specifically for your Ford, so you can be sure they will fit precisely and provide long-lasting performance. In addition, to ensure optimal safety and performance in todayā€™s advanced driver-assist systems that all parts work together as a system.
