Hit a deer

Hello all,
hit a deer tonight and blew up the front end along with the louvers near the radiator and hood latch mechanism.
is it better to get work done by Ford or a local shop?
thanks

Myself I would go with a Ford body shop and make sure they use OEM parts. Just my opinion.

Yea that’s what I figured just thought a local body shop might fudge the estimate so I could get my summer rims lol

Always saves big $$ vs dealer to go with a trusty Indy mechanic. The hard part is finding a top notch one - thank god I have years ago.

I bring OEM parts and he has saved me thousands over the years.

That really depends on YOUR own situation, dealership trust or as others have said, If you have an independent body shop you can trust you might be better going through them. My local Body shop orders all OEM parts, but if I'm paying, I get the wholesaler's price, he just charges me for his labor and the time to research and get the parts. His work is just as good as the dealers body shop, the parts are the same, and he still charges way less that the ford dealership does...
