Can car insurance companies not repair your car if you forgot to add something on the insurance?

Yes. The policy coveres the vehicle as it came off the assembly line. They have no way to know how much to charge you for "complete" coverage if you don't tell them. Another thing to watch for is that auto polices are Actual Cash Value coverage. That means they pay how much something is worth at the time of loss. Even if you tell them you spent $4000 on rims and tires, they are not obligated to pay you $4000 when you get jacked. The moment you mount them on your car, the value goes down. This is a bad loop hole in insurance.

It is illegal for a body shop to repair a car with used or reconditioned parts, unless the owner of the vehicle gives written permission. Insurance companies do not control repair shops.

For example, in Pennsylvania, insurance companies are permitted to use aftermarket or used parts to repair a vehicle but if those parts affect the vehicles warranty the insurance company must warrant those parts. Unfair, but very true!!
