This. These cars have so much tech, sensors, gadgets, etc, that recalibrating everything is probably a monumental pain in the ass. I wouldn't trust a random shop to be able to do that properly.

I'd barely trust the dealer to do it correctly but the odds are probably better.

My experience over the years is that the replacement metal parts never hold up as well to rust. If you are in a snow, ice salt zone, ensure you get it rust proofed well........

is there a reason for this? the material sourced for replacement parts is different? I would think it would be advantageous to just make the replacement parts on the same line as the vehicle itself for something this new.

Ummm, I'm not at fault and my Prime was not in a space where I could have maneuvered it out of the way on time...

yeah, I would have put money on you not being at fault based on the picture of the damage.
