Ask For Genuine Acura Parts
Contact your insurance provider and let them know you only want Genuine Acura Parts used on your vehicle.
*This is only practical advice, not legal advice. Procedures may differ by region, and Acura is not liable if incorrect. In the event of an accident, customers should follow their local collision procedures and laws.
In the event of an accident, insist on Acura.
If you’re ever in an accident, insist that your insurance provider authorizes only Genuine Acura Parts. Why? Because Genuine Acura Parts are manufactured to the exact standard for fit, finish and corrosion protection. They’re the only parts that are covered by our warranty, and they are the only parts that are guaranteed to perform as only an Acura can.

Will my insurance provider automatically specify Genuine Acura 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 Acura.
Aren’t imitation parts the same as Genuine Acura Parts?
No. Imitation parts often do not fit as well because they are not produced to Acura's high-quality standards for exact fit and precise operation, unlike Genuine Acura 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 Acura Parts. Chances are, they aren't.
Is there a warranty on Genuine Acura Parts?
Yes. Genuine Acura Parts are covered by your vehicle's Replacement Warranty.
