What does your auto body warranty cover?

We honor Sherwin-Williams’ Limited Lifetime Warranty for peeling or blistering paint due to product defects. Labor is covered for as long as you own the vehicle under our Lifetime Workmanship Warranty.

What’s the difference between OEM and aftermarket parts?

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts match factory standards, while aftermarket parts may vary in fit or finish. Insurance companies often default to aftermarket parts unless OEM is requested.

Are there any exclusions to your warranty?

Yes. Warranty does not cover rust, rock chips, sand damage, neglect, abuse, or poor maintenance. It also excludes aftermarket alterations or unrelated vehicle damage.

How long is your paint and labor warranty valid?

The paint warranty follows Sherwin-Williams’ Limited Lifetime policy. Our labor and workmanship warranty applies for as long as you own your vehicle.

How can I maintain my paint and finish after repairs?

Avoid waxing or sealing for the first 30 days. Hand wash with approved products and avoid automatic car washes. Report any issues right away for inspection.

At Quigley’s Auto Body, every repair is completed by skilled professionals who take pride in their craftsmanship. We use premium Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes, trusted across the industry for durability and long-lasting performance.

To ensure your confidence, we back our repairs with a clear and reliable Paint, Product, and Lifetime Labor Warranty. This warranty is built on transparency and fairness, giving you peace of mind while setting realistic expectations—protecting both you and the integrity of our business.

What’s Covered:

Paint & Product Guarantee: We honor Sherwin-Williams’ Limited Lifetime Warranty, covering peeling or blistering caused by material defects when applied to properly prepared surfaces by our team following all manufacturer guidelines.
Lifetime Labor & Assembly Guarantee: We stand behind the quality of our workmanship for the lifetime of your ownership of the vehicle, covering defects in labor or assembly related to your refinishing or collision repairs, as long as the work remains in original condition.

OEM vs. Aftermarket – What You Should Know:

Many customers wonder why OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts or factory paint aren’t automatically used in repairs. The short answer? It often depends on your insurance policy:

Most standard insurance policies reduce premiums by authorizing aftermarket parts and refinishing products rather than OEM replacements.
If your policy allows or specifies OEM parts or finishes, we’re happy to use them — just let us know early, as OEM materials often require specific requests or additional costs.
We use Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes, a premium aftermarket refinishing product meeting strict durability and appearance standards.
Your vehicle’s OEM factory warranty covers original parts and finishes only. Our warranty applies specifically to the refinishing process and materials used during repairs.

Rest assured, our vetted, experienced technicians follow OEM-recommended repair procedures to protect your vehicle’s safety, appearance, and structural integrity.

Limitations – What Falls Outside Coverage:

Damage caused by accidents, weather, road debris, sun exposure, bird droppings, tree sap, or chemical misuse is not covered.
Rust, structural defects, or issues from prior poor repairs done elsewhere fall outside this warranty.
Product warranties apply to materials only; labor remains covered for the lifetime of your ownership, provided no alterations or unrelated damage occur to the repaired area.

Warranty Terms – Clear & Fair:

Limited Lifetime Paint Warranty: Follows Sherwin-Williams’ policy for peeling or blistering due to product defects, based on the life of the applied finish under normal conditions.
Lifetime Labor & Assembly Warranty: Covers workmanship defects related to our refinishing or collision repair for as long as you own the vehicle, excluding damage from external factors or alterations.
Proof of purchase and repair records are required for all claims.

Maintaining Your Vehicle’s Finish:

Regular hand-washing is recommended to protect your finish.
Avoid abrasive chemicals or harsh cleaning products.
Promptly remove contaminants like sap, bird droppings, or road debris to extend the life of your paintwork.
