Accident Repair Basics Every Driver Should Know

Parts Choices And Repair Standards
Shops may use OEM, aftermarket, reconditioned, or recycled parts depending on your policy and availability. Lower cost parts can be fine, but fit, corrosion protection, and sensor mounting points matter. Ask what parts will be used and why, and request documentation if non OEM parts are installed. Clarify whether paint materials and blending are included.
