I have numerous smaller repairs like this (yes I know small repair and $8K is also insane).

Anyway, never had parts issues like that, but given this might be your situation, make sure when they do the estimate to repair they tear it down in a way they can put it back together for you to drive for the 4 months, waiting on parts.

My experience has ALWAYS been, Insurance company low balls the repair cost, Collision Repair place tears it down and writes up a supplement that raises it 50% to 100% as they find other issues once they open it up.

I got lucky and my insurance approved all the repairs with a super high-end shop so I’m not worried about the work that will be done and they also gave me a rental for as long as I need it.
Maybe I’ll get lucky with the parts too and get my truck back sooner than later.
Another good thing is that my truck stays home until the shop gets the parts so at least I know it’s safe.

Both your fender and door will be replaced. I would go with whoever you trust to get the paint matched. I would personally have no problem with my dealer doing the work.

The Dealers here in Florida do a Great job on Body work and Paint !!
