Are aftermarket parts on your New Hampshire collision estimates properly allowed and identified?

New Hampshire Chapter 407-D requires insurer-specified aftermarket parts to be at least equal in like kind and quality to the original part in fit, quality, and performance. Insurers generally may not require or specify aftermarket parts on private passenger vehicles placed in service within the preceding two years with 30,000 or fewer miles, or on certain leased vehicles. Aftermarket parts installed on the vehicle must be clearly identified on the repair estimate, and insurer estimates using such parts require the statutory written disclosure.

Quick check

Check vehicle age/mileage and lease restrictions, clearly identify every aftermarket part on the estimate, and keep the required insurer disclosure with the repair file.

When this applies

Your New Hampshire collision shop handles insurer estimates or installs insurer-specified aftermarket exterior sheet-metal or plastic parts.

When an insurer estimate specifies aftermarket parts, verify the vehicle is not within a statutory limitation, make sure each aftermarket part is clearly identified on the estimate, and preserve the insurer's required disclosure and like-kind-and-quality documentation.
