As an auto damage adjustor for the last ten years, I have been surprised to see the amount of subrogation that comes across my desk where aftermarket crash parts were used. My company's policy is OEM and LKQ (used-OEM) ONLY on crash parts. We will write a/m for lights, belts, wipers etcm but never crash parts. The determination many years ago was that a/m parts don't fit right, aren't as safe and are not that cost effective once you put in the amount of times they are returned because they don't fit and we wind up using LKQ anyway. And it is WAY easier to explain to our customers (First AND third party) that the 2002 Ford is going to get 2002 Ford made parts.

So take heart, there are still some decent companies out there. (At least I see decency at my lowly level!)
