Question
i have a 06 Saturn ion that was repaired after a wreck but inside the truck on the passenger side you can see were the inner panel in bent in several spots and this was noted as damage from the wreck should the shop have fixed this and repainted it

Answer
Hello Scott

If this was an insurance  claim the option you have is to go back to the insurance company and get a copy of what the shop was paid for to verify what exactly was apart of the original claim . With this information you can go back to the shop and, yes, have them finish the job.If it was not apart of the original claim a supplement estimate would need to be generated for the job to be completed and back to pre-accident condition.
Thank you for the question
