Accident damage help

The body shop plays a role in this whole thing as well. If they are willing to take a hit on the cost and write off the difference between after market and OEM that helps as well. With the amount of damage the OP had with this accident, the body shop is going to obviously make a profit.

A good example is something I just went through two days ago. I needed my windshield replaced. The glass company ordered the wrong windshield. They had to reorder a new one and reschedule my apt. All that was available was an OEM windshield. $700. The glass company already screwed it up so they installed the OEM windshield and waived my $100 deductible. Obviously me sending them a ton of business helped. Allstate approved the OEM windshield without a fight.

My g Geico policy will not pay for OEM parts unless there are no aftermarket equivalent. Had I been able to use OEM parts, the car would easily been totaled. and so far after just 2 days out of the shop, its going back. both front headlight assemblies have condensation in them (crap aftermarket parts) both front fenders have fitment issues that are very noticeable around the headlights as well, the thin chrome strip around the Spindle grill has blistering in it. The parts they use suck compared to Lexus parts and in my case, i have no choice, even if i have to go back 10 times
