• If possible, call your insurance company from

the scene of the accident. They will walk you

through the information they will need. If

they ask for a police report, phone or go to

the police department headquarters the

next day and you can get a copy of the report

for a nominal fee. In some states/provinces

with “no fault” insurance laws, a report may not

be necessary. This is especially true if there

are no injuries and both vehicles are driveable.

• Choose a reputable collision repair facility

for your vehicle. Whether you select a

dealer/retailer or a private collision repair

facility to ﬁx the damage, make sure you are

comfortable with them. Remember, you

will have to feel comfortable with their work

for a long time.

• Once you have an estimate, read it carefully

and make sure you understand what work

will be performed on your vehicle. If you have

a question, ask for an explanation. Reputable

shops welcome this opportunity.

Managing the Vehicle Damage

Repair Process

In the event that your vehicle requires damage

repairs, GM recommends that you take an active

role in its repair. If you have a pre-determined

repair facility of choice, take your vehicle there,

or have it towed there. Specify to the facility

that any required replacement collision parts be

original equipment parts, either new Genuine

GM parts or recycled original GM parts.

Remember, recycled parts will not be covered

by your GM vehicle warranty.

Insurance pays the bill for the repair, but you must

live with the repair. Depending on your policy

limits, your insurance company may initially value

the repair using aftermarket parts. Discuss this

with your repair professional, and insist on

Genuine GM parts. Remember if your vehicle

is leased you may be obligated to have the vehicle

repaired with Genuine GM parts, even if your

insurance coverage does not pay the full cost.
