I have a 2023 ST that was severely damaged in a hail storm on Sep 24th. It has been in the body shop since Oct 6th and I have no idea when I am getting it back. Waiting on a roof apparently. What issues should I watch out for when I get it back? Gaskets, seals, fuel, etc? I am going to do an oil change and transmission fluid change when I get it back.

if a reputable body shop is doing the repairs and your insurance is covering

here our insurance has shops that meet the needs and have to cover all insurance repairs for as long as you own the vehicle
i suspect most other carriers are the same

if your having it fixed and insurance is paying...minus your deductible you should have no worries
do a real good post repair inspection before you accept the vehicle,

lol…relax, man. The car isn’t going to rot because it sat for a little bit. Cars will sit on dealer lots longer than that sometimes. I leave my cars parked for months on end due to business travel…I go home, jump in and go on with my day.
You don’t need to do a single thing you mentioned.
