What do you guys do for a living? I have been reading your comments and I am really surprised
If you do not want use A/M parts, don't do insurance related work. Just take in customer pay jobs.
As far as A/M not measuring up to OEM, I actually ordered A/M and OEM for the same vehicle. The shop owner, myself and the bodyman inspected both sets and found them to be equal in design and fit when used on the vehicle.
I have been in the auto business for over 30 years. I find very few shops complaining about the fit of A/M parts anymore. Now in the 80's they were crap and I would not use them at my shop. But, the business has evolved just like any other business.
You guys might want to check where the steel is coming from the OEM manufactures are using. Pretty good bet it's from oversea's. What does that do to your quality rating theory.
Look, just because a judgement goes again'st one insurance company, doesn't mean you guys are justified in your remarks.
The Laws of this country have been corrupted by the attorneys and judges to the point, they do not even understand them anymore.
Any insurance company stupid enough to put like, kind and quality is offering itself up for the BBQ of their life.
Here's the verbage: "We will repair your vehicle, or we will total your vehicle."
Sheet metal is there for looks. The safety items are the hidden rails and pillars behind this sheet metal.
You guys need to get a life! Later!
