Body Repairs
Body repairs can 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 corrosion resistance.
Once installed, they do not give the
same high-quality appearance.
When reporting your collision to the
insurance company, tell them you
want genuine Honda parts used in
the repair. Although most insurers
recognize the quality of original
parts, some may try to specify that
the repairs be done with other
available parts. You should investi-
gate 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.
