Hello, Sorry to hear this about your daughter.
I'm 18 and i've got a ford Ka! I've been to kwik fit for two of my repairs now. They did me a really good deal and seemed to have no trouble.
I don't know what to suggest that you could do, perhaps as like some of the other guys have said, go and ask to see the old parts.
I am real dependant on my mum and dad and ask them for advice in everything. And i agree that when put into that position "forced" into gettting the new parts or whatever, it is a horrible position to be in. Especially at our age!
Keep us updated on whatever you do!
Good luck Pal
