hit in front

i parked my car and somebody reared into my driver side front bumper.
Would it be better for me to get it fixed at a local body shop or at the
Infiniti dealership? Which Infiniti dealership does the best job?
If i choose to take it to the dealership, will i still be able to get the
aftermarket parts(CF hood, bumper ,etc.) instead of the OEM parts when the total damage estimation comes out from their insurance company? Will i be able to get the aftermarket parts if the total cost is under the damage estimation cost?
Last, i installed a gialla grill which also got damaged from this accident. Will the dealership fix my gialla grill as well?

in pic..i took gialla grill out....

Most dealerships are going to send the car to a body shop anyways and then just tack on more money because you went through them. One (small) advantage is that the dealer will most likely provide you with a loaner car while your body work is being done.

As for a dealer replacing aftermarket parts, yes they should as long as they have availability to them. If you (your insurance) is paying the dealer then they will put on whatever you want. If it is a warranty item then they will only replace things with OEM parts.

Hope this helps.

i had my car hit by a drunk driver and i swear i made the biggest mistake by going to the infiniti dealer which reffered me to GRUBBS NISSAN COLLISION CENTER and they just made my car worse... now... theres sooo many problems with it and nothings the same it pisses me off dont go there dont go to any dealer.... find a body shop your self and get a rental car its best that way
