    I would take it to the dealer if insurance is covering it. Not sure a body shop will use genuine Toyota parts. Maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in, but I don’t think they do.

    welcome OP. Sorry it’s under these circumstances

    Not from around there but when I needed repair I called the local exotic car importer and asked who they use. Used the recommended repair shop 3 times and so impressed with the quality.

    Not all dealerships have their own in house body shop and will contract out to someone else so ask your dealership first. As far as using OEM parts that's up to your insurance policy not the shop. Some policies state they have the right to use aftermarket parts some say OEM parts will be used. Check with your insurance company. As a retired self employed detailer of 30 years in the PDX area I've dealt with my share of body shops and without question Artisic Autobody does the best work. They started out about 35 years ago as a two man shop specializing in high ends and exotics and now have a big shop doing all types of vehicles. Their work is top notch and it's where I've taken my vehicles in the past and always recommended to my customers.

    Sorry about your truck OP and hope all goes well with the repair :thumbsup:
