hit in front
hit in front
i parked my car and somebody reared into my driver side front bumper.
Would it be better for me to get it fixed at a local body shop or at the
Infiniti dealership? Which Infiniti dealership does the best job?
If i choose to take it to the dealership, will i still be able to get the
aftermarket parts(CF hood, bumper ,etc.) instead of the OEM parts when the total damage estimation comes out from their insurance company? Will i be able to get the aftermarket parts if the total cost is under the damage estimation cost?
Last, i installed a gialla grill which also got damaged from this accident. Will the dealership fix my gialla grill as well?
in pic..i took gialla grill out....

Most dealerships are going to send the car to a body shop anyways and then just tack on more money because you went through them. One (small) advantage is that the dealer will most likely provide you with a loaner car while your body work is being done.
As for a dealer replacing aftermarket parts, yes they should as long as they have availability to them. If you (your insurance) is paying the dealer then they will put on whatever you want. If it is a warranty item then they will only replace things with OEM parts.
Hope this helps.

Which body shop would you prefer for me to take my car to?
Does sewell collision center do a good job?
i bought my g from crest plano...does it matter?
I just want to get my car fixed at a place where they do a really good job, the best quality.
since this guy's insurance company will pay for it..
