Does FCA certification require the use of genuine OEM parts?

Yes. FCA-certified auto body shops are required to follow manufacturer repair procedures, which include using genuine OEM replacement parts wherever specified. OEM parts are engineered and tested specifically for your vehicle model, ensuring precise fitment, factory-level durability, and compatibility with your vehicle’s safety systems. At Higgins Body & Paint, we never substitute OEM parts with aftermarket alternatives that could compromise the quality or safety of your repair.
