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 tohave 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 cost stays within
reasonable limits.

vehicles, it may order a recall and
remedy campaign. However,
NHTSA cannot become involved
in individual problems between
you, your dealer/retailer, or
General Motors.To contact NHTSA, you may
