Weather the body shop uses OEM, used or aftermarket parts depends the insurance company. Each company has a different set of guidelines, I.E. cars less than 1 year old with less than Xxx,xxx miles are required to have all OEM. You can try talking to your ins company and insist they use OEM parts and they may if you're persistent. Most companies have an option where you pay a little more and it adds a clause to your policy that makes them replace/repair your vehicle with only OEM parts. Look into it for the future.

Dealerships don't offer the service you asked about. The best way to insure your car is fixed right is to have the body shop put it on the frame rack and measure, measure, measure. However this is not fail safe, older frame machines allow you to "cheat" the measurements which will make a car appear straight on paper, when they're not. Newer equipment won't let you cheat. If you use a reputable shop you should be ok. If you're not at a reputable shop, have your car taken to one. Don't let their insurance company strong arm you. They will try.
