• 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.
