Does anyone know what a body shop does with the bad parts they pull of a car they are repairing? For instance, if I have the front bumper of my car replaced because it was damaged in an accident and insurance is paying, will they give me the old, broken parts if I request them?

I think they'll probably give them to you because it's coming off of your car and I would assume that it would be considered your parts

Often times they will not because the recycle(repair, and repaint) the parts. This is what my uncle does at his body shop. If the parts are to bad to repair they throw them away.

Yeah def. make sure to ask before you bring your car in. Here in MI, its state law that they have to return parts to you that you want back unless they are too big or toxic (I think).

They will usually throw the parts away or recycle them if they are repairable.  I would recommend that you talk to the body shop and let them know that you want your old parts so they are not thrown away or kept for additional profit.
