Collision Damage Repair

If your vehicle is involved in a

collision and it is damaged, have

the damage repaired by a qualiﬁed

technician using the proper

equipment and quality replacement

parts. Poorly performed collision

repairs diminish your vehicle’s resale

value, and safety performance can

be compromised in subsequent

collisions.

Collision Parts

Genuine GM Collision parts are new

parts made with the same materials

and construction methods as the

parts with which your vehicle was

originally built. Genuine GM Collision

parts are your best choice to ensure

that your vehicle’s designed

appearance, durability, and safety

are preserved. The use of Genuine

GM parts can help maintain your

GM New Vehicle Warranty.

Recycled original equipment parts

may also be used for repair. These

parts are typically removed from

vehicles that were total losses in

prior crashes. In most cases, the

parts being recycled are from

undamaged sections of the vehicle.

A recycled original equipment GM

part, may be an acceptable choice to

maintain your vehicle’s originally

designed appearance and safety

performance, however, the history of

these parts is not known. Such parts

are not covered by your GM New

Vehicle Limited Warranty, and any

related failures are not covered by

that warranty.

Aftermarket collision parts are

also available. These are made

by companies other than GM and

may not have been tested for your

vehicle. As a result, these parts

may ﬁt poorly, exhibit premature

durability/corrosion problems,

and may not perform properly in

subsequent collisions. Aftermarket

parts are not covered by your GM

New Vehicle Limited Warranty, and

any vehicle failure related to such

parts are not covered by that

warranty.

Repair Facility

We recommend that you choose a

collision repair facility that meets

your needs before you ever need

collision repairs. Your dealer/retailer

may have a collision repair center

with GM-trained technicians and

state of the art equipment, or be able

to recommend a collision repair

center that has GM-trained

technicians and comparable

equipment.
