Cars been in the shop since Monday as they found more damage after taking it apart. It is due to be ready on Tuesday. All of the parts are OEM. I'm now tooling around in a 2018 Chevy Cruise provided by my insurance. It has a start/stop feature which is driving me mad at stoplights. Sunroof got stuck open on day 1.

I do not trust the body shop. Verbal agreement on OE parts does not mean much. This is why I always insist to go to the dealership for the repair.
Even if they subcontract out the repair, the dealership is accountable and I do not have to deal with the body shop myself.

I'm not sure how it works in Canada, but in the US very few dealerships have body shops these days. In my area, the last dealership with a body shop was a Ford dealership. They sold it to another body shop several years ago as a second location. If you go to a dealer around here for body work, they won't sublet or even make a recommendation in order to minimize liability. Sometimes they'll make an exception if the dealership itself damages the vehicle, but they might just tell you to have it repaired and they'll pay the bill. Otherwise, they'll suggest you contact your insurance company for recommendations or give you the name of a few body shops without recommending a specific one.

I recommend using a Honda ProFirst Certified body shop. In order to be certified by Honda, they must use Honda-required equipment and receive Honda-specific training.
