🎨 WHAT HAPPENED TO COLOR?

Remember when cars came in actual colors?
Reds, greens, blues… even gold, purple, and that wild teal everyone secretly loved.

These days it’s mostly white, black, gray, silver — clean, sure, but not exactly exciting.

So let’s have some fun:
👉 What’s your favorite uncommon car color?
👉 Bonus points if you’ve actually owned one.

We’re ready for the stories — drop them below 👇

GM’s New Parts Policy: No Used, Aftermarket, Reconditioned, or Salvage Parts

General Motors has issued a major update affecting Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, and Cadillac vehicles. GM now strictly prohibits the use of used, aftermarket, reconditioned, recycled, or salvage parts in collision repairs, structural repairs, ADAS‑equipped vehicles, and anything involving safety systems.

This isn’t a recommendation — it’s a hard stop.

GM states that non‑GM parts can’t guarantee proper crash performance, sensor alignment, or ADAS calibration. Even small deviations can affect airbag timing, automatic braking, lane‑keep assist, and other safety features. Because of this, GM requires brand‑new GM Genuine Parts only for proper and safe repairs.

For our customers:
This policy protects you. Your vehicle’s safety systems are engineered to work with GM parts, and using anything else can compromise performance, reliability, and warranty coverage.

At Mike's Body Shop, we follow OEM procedures — not insurer shortcuts.

If it’s not a new GM Genuine Part, it doesn’t go on your Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, or Cadillac.

This Jeep Compass had damage on both ends — front impact, rear bumper damage, and a shattered rear window. It’s now repaired, detailed, and back with its owner, who couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

When your vehicle needs real craftsmanship, we’re here for you.
Mike’s Body Shop — serving Wichita with quality collision repair.

This door definitely lost a battle, and to make matters worse, the insurance company didn’t want to pay to fix it correctly.

We repaired it the way the manufacturer requires — no shortcuts, no corner‑cutting — and provided the owner with all the documentation needed to fight for a fair claim settlement.

At Mike’s Body Shop, we fix vehicles the right way, even when insurance tries to push for the cheap way.

Even though he’s retired from the day‑to‑day grind, he’s still the backbone of this shop and the reason our standards are what they are.
We appreciate everything he built and the legacy we get to carry forward.

Hope you’re having an awesome birthday, Mike.
