    Someone rearended my Prius and I need to get it repaired. I want to ensure that the vehicle is restored to its original condition pre-collision.

    Is it very important to use a Toyota Certified Collision Center or will a good local body shop do?

    How do you choose where to get repairs after a (fairly significant) collision?
