“Collision parts” is a term that refers to parts not normally replaced during the life of a vehicle except in an accident. Examples include fenders, doors, hoods, structural parts, or trim pieces. There are very specific reasons why you should always insist on Genuine Mercedes-Benz replacement parts and repair methods:

  • Precisely engineered panels made from the correct grade of steel or aluminum that will fit perfectly in every instance
  • Genuine replacement body parts require less surface preparation before painting, resulting in a superior finish and in better savings
  • Zincro-plated coating inhibits rust, thereby maintaining vehicle integrity
  • Matched exterior and interior trim items only available from Mercedes-Benz
  • Assurance that your vehicle will maintain the manufacturer-specified safety standards it had when new. The safety of a vehicle not repaired within these specific standards could be compromised in the event of another accident.
  • Backed by our Mercedes-Benz Parts Limited Warranty
