That's what you pay premiums for.

NEVER use the body shop your insurance company wants you to. Go to a shop that will use OEM parts. Otherwise you're going to end up with aftermarket or junkyard parts on your car. It's a racket that has caused lots of lawsuits.
If your car is still under warranty and they don't use OEM parts, many times your warranty will be voided.
