In Case of an Accident, Be an Informed Owner

When it comes to your new or pre-owned Kia, you have the right to select the parts you want to be put in your car. So here at our Collision Center, we believe in full disclosure and honesty when it comes to our parts and our repairs, so we try to educate all of our Libertyville and Gurnee customers about their options. Read below to find out more about the differences in the kinds of parts you’re your car could receive:

General Information

When your car suffers a crash, "collision repair parts" and "replacement crash parts" are the parts that are usually replaced once your car is repaired. These parts are usually the exterior sheet metal components, such as fenders, hoods, doors, and related parts, as well as the key plastic components such as bumper covers and the headlamp assemblies.

Warranty Coverage

The manufacturer or the parts distributor usually provide the warranties for collision repair parts, and this warranty coverage can vary. When you need a repair, your insurance company or your collision center should provide you with written warranty statements for all the parts that they’re using in your vehicle.

Types of Collision Repair Parts include:

New Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM): When parts are identified as OEM, this means that the parts were made by the vehicle manufacturer, or by one of the manufacturer’s licensees, and they’re distributed through the normal, official channels. Because these parts are original, they maintain the manufacturer’s vehicle warranty.

 
Aftermarket or imitation: These are parts that have been made by companies other than the original vehicle manufacturer or its approved licensees.

Recycled or used salvage: These are used parts and assemblies that were removed from other vehicles. These parts are not regulated, so their safety and quality are not guaranteed.

 
Remanufactured: These parts have been returned to like-new condition through repair, refurbishing or rebuilding.

Due to the critical nature of Supplemental Restraint Systems (also known as air bags), here at our Gurnee area Kia dealership we do not support the use of imitation or used parts for their repair. As experienced technicians, we believe that only new genuine parts should be used to repair or replace Supplemental Restraint Systems.
