Many insurance companies also write the same policies that are used for
``extended warranties''.  Contact your All State agent if you'd like more
details (I am pretty sure that All State still does this, I don't think
State Farm does, but I may be wrong).  Also, many repairs that are the
result of collisions can also be caused by other mechanical failures.

This isn't news to most people - the reason that is most commonly given
is that the parts are more expensive since they must be imported.
