Body Repairs
Body repairs affect your car's
resistance to corrosion. If your car
needs repairs after a collision, pay
close attention to the parts used in
the repair and the quality of the
work.
Make sure the repair facility uses
genuine Honda replacement body
parts. Some companies make
sheetmetal pieces that seem to
duplicate the original Honda body
parts, but are actually inferior in fit,
finish, and quality. Once installed,
they do not give the same high-
quality appearance and level of
corrosion resistance.
When reporting your collision to the
insurance company, tell them you
want genuine Honda parts used in
the repair. Although most insurers
recognize the higher quality of
original parts, some may try to
specify that the repairs be done with
the "lowest cost" parts available. You
should investigate this before any
repairs are begun.
Take your car to your authorized
Honda dealer for inspection after the
repairs are completed. He can make
sure that quality materials were used,
and that corrosion-preventive
coatings were applied to all repaired
and replaced parts.
