I had a collision while driving my ATV and I took it to my ATV dealer to be repaired. Estimate and pictures were sent to my insurance company, and the insurance company mailed me a check(minus) my deductible to pay the dealer for the repair. I am wondering if I can have the damaged parts that were replaced, in case I could use them one day if I needed a part to get me by without having to make a claim on my insurance.
Can I get the damaged parts back after the repair is complete?

If you want parts returned to you make your desires known to the adjuster and then to the shop doing the repairs. Often when something is removed it is immediately set aside for recycling so it is up to you to take the initiative if you want a part.Answered on August 8, 2014flag this answer

Some won't have a problem returning parts, (except usually the ones they return for rebates), others won't at all, for fear you will decide they didn't need replacing and beef about the bill and repairs. It's been my experience with damaged parts (and I've seen plenty, unfortunately) that they usually aren't having back, as they ultimately don't work the way they should. Buy new or refurbished, when the time comes. Thanks for asking!Answered on August 10, 2014flag this answer
