[QUOTE="Revvv, post: 15993000, member: 189537"] My car has been in the shop 35 days now. My insurance tried to pull the same used/scrap yard/lkq garbage. The adjuster wasn't sure how to take my rejection. I was told this is industry standard. My dad owned a paint and body shop for more than 40 years. The last five of those years the shop was run completely by me. I actually had my insurance company void the check the first adjuster wrote. As I marched up the chain of command I finally got to meet with a regional supervisor. He tried to tell me the same BS, but he couldn't define what industry standard meant. He could only say it didn't have to meet my standards. Wrong answer. With my attorney and my wife standing by me the adjuster finally said they would write supplements as needed for the job to be done correctly. There is a thread here "Another Mustang Down" that shows my progress. I held my ground, and my shop backed me up. Used parts were rejected immediately. After a while OEM parts were approved and ordered. I refused to have garbage installed on a mint condition car. The only repairs made were to a small dent in the driver's door, and a chip in the hood. I had to fight the entire way, but the car was repaired correctly. Good luck with your repair. Stand your ground and give solid reasoning in regard to aftermarket and used parts. Structural integrity, diminished value, lack of quality, etc are to be considered.
