My 2000 Insight was broadsided on the passenger side by a 1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass. Passenger side a mess, but they said it is fixable and no one seriously hurt. My question is, what about the batteries? Has anyone had experience. Should I ask the body shop to pull up the plate and take a look at them, or should I go to my dealer and have them checked? Perhaps it is not necessary at all to check them since they are on the opposite side?

Suburb shops to avoid like the plague:

Lee's Summit Honda

Jay Wolfe Honda

Both have NO CLUE how to fix this car.

When in KC......Independence Honda (15 miles east of KC).

Trust Me.
