Record all the details of the accident. This will provide you with accurate records ofthe accident for discussions with your insurance company and other persons who may be acting on your behalf.  Understand your repa
ir estimate before

Many times, to save
money, your insur-
ance company will recommend imitation parts that do not meet the original specifi- cations of fit, finish, corrosion resistanceor workmanship.
The strength and integrity built into your Mitsubishi vehicle is the result of a specific design referred to as
“Energy Management”.
Individual body parts are designed to act as one unit in the event of an accident. Shock waves are absorbed by protective panels orare channeled around the passenger compart-
ment. This important feature is possible because high tensile
steel is used in
Mitsubishi panels and stru
ctural parts, some-
thing that cannot be
guaranteed by the manu-
facturers of imitati
on parts. All Genuine
Mitsubishi body panels and support brackets are designed and cons
tructed as important
protection features in the event of an acci-dent. By replacing body
parts with imitations,
your vehicle may no longer meet original equipment specifications. As a consumer reque
sting repair on your
vehicle, you have cons
umer rights. Across the
country, State Insuranc
e Commissioners have
begun considering rules on the use of non- OEM parts. This could
mean that repair shops
will have to disclose to the consumer, whenthey intend to use non-OEM parts. Since reg- ulations are not cons
istent on this point,
remember you have a choice. So, if you wantgenuine Mitsubishi Mo
tors parts, you may
have to specifically
request them. Make cer-
tain your insurance company understandsimitations are not to be used in the repair of your vehicle. You deserve the best genuine Mitsubishi Motors parts.
Genuine Mitsubishi Motors parts are built with the high quality a
nd durability standards
you expect. Genuine Mitsubishi Motors replacements parts are your guarantee that your vehicle will have
all the technological
advantages and maintain
the style and protec-
tion of a brand new Mitsubishi Motors. Remember to ask for genuine Mitsubishi Motors parts.
