Repair or replace this fender (AMD)

True that. Take pictures of everything. They have no reason to remove the fender tag, but to remove any chance of monkey business, I'd remove it before it went to any shop. The correct rosette fasteners are available to reinstall it when repairs are done. JMO.
"Rosette fasteners" are the rivets used to attach the vin tag to the dash on 66 and newer cars. Screws attached the fender tag.
