Not true. Progressive will always use 3rd party part first if they exist before going OEM. The only reason they would do this on a new car is because 3rd party parts don't exist.

You get what you pay for and Progressive sucks when you really need them.

State Farm will go for OEM parts. They didn't a number of years ago but now they do.
