That's how it works at my shop, too. Most of the time the offshore parts fit just fine, the only ones that really give me heartburn is the composite headlamps. Don't fit and the adjusters are junk. I've noticed that a lot of OEM parts are (I suspect) rejects from the assembly line. Dings and repairs galore. Sometimes they're welded together wrong. Remember '80s Malibu fenders FFreak? Cut the front spotweld and repositioned about 100 of those. It's the shop that makes the repair. And knows how to deal with your insurer.
