FAQ

Will my insurance provider automatically specify Genuine Honda Parts?

No. Imitation parts may be sufficient for insurance companies because they cost less, but they may compromise the fit, finish and corrosion protection of your Honda.

Aren’t imitation parts the same as Genuine Honda Parts?

No. Imitation parts often do not fit as well because they are not produced to Honda's high-quality standards for exact fit and precise operation, unlike Genuine Honda Parts.

Do I have the right to know what parts I’m getting?

Yes. It's your right to know what replacement parts are being used. Ask for proof that like, kind, and quality parts are equivalent to Genuine Honda Parts. Chances are, they aren't.

Is there a warranty on Genuine Honda Parts?

Yes. Genuine Honda Parts are covered by your vehicle's Replacement Warranty.
