This week the West Virginia Supreme court paved the way for possible future legislation in your state with its ruling on recycled OEM crash parts. The ruling states that Auto body shops that use OEM parts sourced from junkyards or “recyclers” without your prior consent are not violating your consumer rights under the consumer credit and protection act.
As you can imagine this is a fairly complicated issue, complicated enough that it made it all the way to one state’s Supreme Court. I’ll break it down in to digestible bites that will make sense. As a reader, you should care about this because it could have an impact on your State, and your next auto body repair.
If you are not a “car person” or auto body industry insider, you could can easily assume that when you drop your car or truck off for repair that you are getting brand new parts built by your manufacturer installed back in the car.
