[QUOTE="svtfocus2cobra, post: 15544027, member: 21786"] I deal with this every day as an estimator at a repair shop. Bottom line is that you set up and signed the policy with your insurance company which in most cases includes them using used and aftermarket parts. It's how they can offer the cheap rates they do. However, if you can find the right shop that will work with you there are ways to get OEM parts while utilizing the initial insurance estimate and payment. One way is to see if the body shop will ask their dealership to do a parts price match with the used and aftermarket parts. For us, lately I have had Toyota and Kia dropping their OEM prices as much as $350 to match the price on a used door shell. I saved over $1000 in parts on that car and in turn was able to wave the customers $1000 deductible. The other way is to see if the body shop will cut into their parts discount to just buy the OEM parts and maybe pay them a little more to make up the difference, or just pay the difference yourself. Probably the least desirable option though. What parts do you need exactly? Sent from my SM-G935P using the [URL=http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=92568]svtperformance.com mobile app[/URL] [/QUOTE]
