[QUOTE="olskool, post: 1064012750, member: 8544"] Usually tow workshops will replace the obvious parts with the new ones and the not-so visible ones with used parts. This allows them to take percentage from your claims and the insurance company's percentage both ways. You should have sent it back to Suzuki even though they said that would send it to a 3rd party. It would be much more "safer" and easier to reclaim anything that you are unhappy about once the car is out. Based on your situation, if you pull the car out now, the workshop is going to charge you a fee for "storing" your car and any work that they have done also probably charge you for towing at max rate. My humble advice is to leave it there, let the job be done and take it back to suzuki for inspection to see if they did a good job or anything else that needs replacing. Safety comes above cost. I know airbags are expensive but 10k? Dashboard panel 1k? Doubt so. Btw: being a legit workshop doesn't mean that they'll do a good job or won't rip you off... Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
