Choosing a Local Body Shop vs. a big chain
What Fort Worth Drivers Should Know
When you’ve been in an accident, it’s tempting to go with the big name your insurance company suggests or another national chain. But before you hand over your keys, here’s what drivers across Fort Worth, Alliance, Keller, Southlake, and surrounding areas should know about the real difference between local auto body shops and corporate chains.
At Excellence Auto Collision, we’ve built our business on doing things the right way — not the fast or cheap way — and here’s why more local drivers are choosing us.
🏢 The Big Chain Approach
There’s a reason insurance companies push you toward national brands like Caliber Collision — they often have DRP (Direct Repair Program) relationships. This means:
They work directly with insurers
They agree to keep repair costs down
They may use aftermarket or lower-quality parts
You may feel like just another ticket number
Caliber Collision has dozens of locations in Texas — but fewer incentives to deliver personalized care or fight for the highest quality parts for your specific vehicle.
🛠️ Local Shop (Like Ours): What You Actually Get
Choosing a trusted local body shop like Excellence Auto Collision gives you:
Freedom to choose OEM parts and better materials
A direct line to the technician—not just a front desk
Real accountability and pride in craftsmanship
Support from a small business that treats you like a neighbor
We don’t cut corners to save the insurance company money. We advocate for YOU—your safety, your car’s long-term value, and your satisfaction.
🧾 Real Transparency on Estimates
Ever feel like big chains talk in circles? At Excellence, we:
Provide honest, detailed estimates
Explain every part and labor charge
Show you side-by-side comparisons (OEM vs. aftermarket)
No surprises. No upsells. No BS.
🤝 We Work With All Insurance Providers — But Work For You
Many drivers don’t realize this: you are not required to use the shop your insurance “recommends.” Texas law protects your right to choose.
We handle all the paperwork, speak their language, and make sure your claim is handled fairly — without you getting caught in the middle.
