The focus is on the GM customer, allowing the vehicle to be returned to pre accident condition, with original parts, ensuring safety and appearance.  Because Genuine GM Parts are designed and engineered by GM, they offer the best fit available in the market. 

“For our GM Dealers to be more competitive in the estimate writing process, we are going on the offensive with our collision parts pricing.  Our objective is to quote the most competitive OEM list price the first time, reducing supplements and adjustments, while at the same time improving cycle time for repairers, insurers and ultimately the customer,’ said Kris Mayer, General Director, Wholesale Dealer Channel.
