COLLISION DAMAGE REPAIR AND PARTS: MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE It is your right to have your vehicle restored to pre-crash condition. That means insisting on original... replacement parts from your vehicle’s manufacturer. Many insurance policies limit compensation for collision repair through the use of aftermarket collision parts. These aftermarket parts do not provide the same level of original fit, form, and function as GM Collision Parts. Check your insurance policy now for Original Equipment Manufacturer parts usage. If genuine parts are not specified, request a policy that states only GM Original Equipment Manufacturer parts will be used to repair your vehicle. If another party's insurance company is paying for the auto body repair, 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 have control of the repair and parts choices, so insist on Genuine GM Parts. Remember, you have a choice. You can either choose genuine parts made by the original manufacturer, or you can choose imitations of those parts made by other companies. Not only can these imitations compromise your vehicle’s safety performance in subsequent collisions, they may also diminish your vehicle’s resale value down the road. When you have the damage repaired at your local GM auto body center using only Genuine GM Parts, you get the peace of mind of proper equipment and quality replacement parts. When it comes to collision repair and auto body repair, it just makes good sense to turn to the GM-trained Certified Service experts. Why Genuine GM Air-Bag System Parts After a Crash? Collision repair and auto body repair professionals should always use extreme caution when performing repairs to a vehicle’s Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), which includes air bags. GM Original Equipment does not support the use of any used, salvaged, or imitation parts for SRS collision repair. Only new, genuine GM-warranted parts should be used in repair because of the critical nature in the design of air-bag systems. GM Original Equipment Air Bags: Comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) Provide assurance of quality, fit, and function Always install new air bags for safety Genuine GM Sheet Metal Parts Sheet metal helps reflect the beauty of a newly repaired vehicle. Using GM Original Equipment sheet metal parts helps ensure that you are restoring a damaged vehicle to its pre-collision condition. GM sheet metal parts are carefully packaged and shipped in boxes specifically designed to protect and preserve primed surfaces to help reduce prep time. Genuine GM Hoods, Fenders, Doors and Decklids: Feature perfect fit and function Are engineered with the same materials and tolerances as the original part Are made with GM sheet metal parts, which: - Are designed to crush correctly in a collision Non-Original Equipment parts may not crush to GM crash-testing standards - Are made with strong, corrosion-resistant steel coatings - Are formed or stamped for added strength - Feature placement of welds and adhesives based on test data - Follow the full electrocoat primer (ELPO) process Genuine GM Fascias, Grilles, and Bumpers GM Original Equipment Manufacturer fascias, grilles, and bumpers help restore the original look of a vehicle where it counts most up front. Of course, safety is another important factor, and nothing is compromised. GM Original Equipment Fascias: Are designed to accommodate the latest collision-avoidance technology sensors Are primed and ready to install right out of the box Have less risk for paint peel vs. recycled options GM Original Equipment Grilles: Are available with active air shutters as a complete assembly Are always perfectly matched to vehicle trim level GM Original Equipment Bumpers: Feature GM Original Equipment fit and finish for faster installations Are matched to correct trim level for the vehicle Have all safety system functionality integrated into each bumper Are plug-n-play with fully wired license-plate lamps and park-assist sensors when applicable Auto Body Repair and Collision Repair Structural Parts GM uses materials such as Ultra High-Strength Steel (UHSS) and aluminum to help meet more stringent crash-worthiness requirements and improve vehicle performance, while limiting or reducing overall mass.
