Whether you bought your Subaru new, used or leased, automotive insurance is required. And when you contact your insurance agent/company after an accident, it is important to know the customer rights that are included with any automotive insurance policy.

• Your insurer may recommend a repair facility, but you have the right to decide where to have your Subaru repaired unless that right is limited by your insurance policy.
• You may request that your insurer and repair facility agree to use only Genuine Subaru Collision Parts when making any parts replacements.

The durability of Genuine Subaru Collision Parts is a result of the materials used to manufacture them. Engineers have tested Genuine Subaru Body Panels against aftermarket versions in simulated, real-world and rust-causing conditions to demonstrate the differences in the types of protective layers that help prevent corrosion to sheet metal. Other tests have shown that Genuine Subaru Replacement Bumpers have better low-speed impact and concentrated-impact resistance than aftermarket replacement bumpers.
