I would pick an auto body shop you know and trust and have them pay for the repair (obviously have them agree in advance). I would not let them take control of the repair...will likely be a horrible repair.
Anything worthwhile would be a new seat. I have the massage seats in my MB and they are quite impressive. As you noted, they do help on long trips - hot stone massage 👍🏼
There’s many other products developed in China that harvest data and send it back - home routers/modems/wifi, mobile equipment, security cameras, TikTok, etc. I’ve been watching the Bronco to see who it’s communicating with…more on that later.
