I don't know what you're talking about. We had a car in the other day with no power steering. It was fresh out of the body shop with, among other things, a new pump and rack. The insurance company was thinking "parts failure warranty."

The invoice from the body shop was stapled to the RO and one of the things I looked for was whether they had the right parts in the first place. They were, but then I saw what they had charged the insurance company: the rack was $175 over factory list price and the pump was $140 over. The body shop got the parts at a discount from the dealer... You can get to $10k without even trying.
