A damaged part can affect more than the area that first catches your eye. A bent panel may no longer line up with the adjoining panels, while broken mounting points can leave trim or other components loose. Replacing the affected part gives the repair a sound piece to work from.
D-Fenders Collisions handles parts replacement as part of auto body repair in Tempe, Arizona. An auto body technician reviews the damaged area, removes the part that needs to come out, and fits the replacement as part of the collision repair process.
Good to know
When to call
A part is cracked or broken
Broken body components, trim pieces or mounting points may not hold their position after a collision. A replacement part can address damage that cannot be corrected by refinishing alone.
The replacement area no longer lines up
Uneven gaps, a panel sitting proud, or a part that will not close properly can indicate damage to the part or its mounting area. An inspection helps determine what needs to be replaced.
A collision left a part missing
A missing exterior component can leave nearby areas exposed and make the vehicle look unfinished. Bring the vehicle in so the missing part and the surrounding damage can be reviewed together.
Our process
How the job goes
-
Review the damaged area
An auto body technician examines the damaged part and the surrounding panels and mounting areas. This helps identify which component needs replacement and whether related collision damage also needs attention.
-
Remove the damaged part
The damaged component is removed carefully so the technician can inspect the mounting points and the area behind it. Parts that can be reused are separated from those that need replacement.
-
Fit the replacement
The replacement part is positioned on the vehicle and checked against the surrounding panels. The technician secures it in place while checking its fit and alignment.
-
Complete the surrounding repair
Once the part is fitted, the remaining collision repair work can be completed around it. The vehicle is checked for secure fitment and a consistent finished appearance before handover.
Scope

How do I know if a part should be repaired or replaced?
An auto body technician needs to inspect the damage, including the part's shape, condition and mounting areas. A part that is badly bent, cracked or missing may be better suited to replacement.
Will replacing one part fix all of the collision damage?
Not always. The part may be only one part of the repair, and the surrounding panels or mounting areas may also need work. The vehicle is reviewed as a whole before the replacement is completed.
Can you replace a part that is missing after a collision?
Yes, a missing component can be reviewed as part of the auto body repair. The technician also checks the area where it attaches so the replacement is fitted to the vehicle properly.
Do you offer discounts for parts replacement?
D-Fenders Collisions offers military, first responder and student discounts. Customers without insurance can also receive half-price auto body services.
