ATLANTA - There's a car repair trend that has likely affected you and you don't even know it. Insurance companies are trying to save money by saving on repairs.

The FOX 5 I-Team's Dana Fowle says that can help the car owner save a buck, too, but at what cost?

Take a look under your hood if your car has been in an accident. There is a very good chance that your car was fixed with aftermarket parts or off brands.

Does that compromise your safety? Well, that's a good question: No one seems to know just yet.
