To help reduce the cost of rising claims we are required by the insurance companies to search for alternative parts. LKQ, Aftermarket, and Reconditioned are the alternative parts we have to use before we use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or Factory parts. Most times, because of our size and buying power, we are able to get the OEM parts at a discount to match the alternative parts price. We also assure the best fit and if it does not meet Richard Karr Collision quality we send them back and put OEM parts on your car.
