Managing the Vehicle Damage

Repair Process

In the event that the 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 the

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

the 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

the repair professional, and insist on

Genuine GM parts. Remember,

if the 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.

If another party's insurance

company is paying for the repairs,

you are not obligated to accept a

repair valuation based on that

insurance company's collision policy

repair limits, as you have no

contractual limits with that company.

In such cases, you can have control

of the repair and parts choices as

long as the cost stays within

reasonable limits.
