Joe A asked:
New car, had a nasty accident and the Insurance company selected a body repair shop, accepted the shop since I don’t want to go to the hastle of selecting one, and Its being repaired. I’m taking the car after the repair now. I’m worried becasue they might not use genuine parts and I might loose my warranty. I have no clue in body repairs and this is my first time going through it.
1) What things should I consider when I’m taking the car from the body shop?
2) Do I still have the right to ask for repairs if the car is not functional after a week or so?
Please let me know if there is anything else I need to take care of.

Call your insurance company and tell them you would rather take it to a dealership so you will get factory parts because you are still under warrenty. Or read your warrenty to see what is covered. Body components aren’t usually covered because they don’t affect anything mechanical. Also, OEM parts that a repair place would use will usually have some sort of warrenty. Do some homework. Nobody on here can tell you these things without doing your footwork for you.
