Now I have been looking far and wide for the silver lining in the repair industry ,and low and behold I came across this for tax spending : The District Attorney’s offices around the state of California will now get grants of about $23 million to tackle the auto insurance fraud. Maria Ramirez has a tough job fighting auto insurance fraud in the most populous county in the state. Her division had been going through a lot of hurdles due to the rise in crime and the scaled-down government budgets. Hence, this announcement brought in a lot of cheer.
Now I cannot see how the tax payers should be footing the bill for this , I do however see that the insurance industry should .In a case of insurance fraud ( or so deemed ) the insurance has SIU that should and has authority to go after and even prosecute for fraud if found , so why does it get funded by tax payers again ??

Is A+ insurance really that ??

A + insurance carriers does not really mean how they handle you the customer , it is
based on financial standings to have enough money to settle a claim you submit .
Insurance comes in so many packages , cheap is just that . The largest disappointment
of claim handling is the fact that you don't get it your way . Years of paying don't give
you clout at a repair shop ,that's the agent who loves you paying the policy year after
year , and a shop ONLY follows what the insurance carrier says , not what the customer says.
The truth of the matter is know your policy ,ask the agent ,and know it before it is that day .
The # 1 customer complaint is use of aftermarket parts , can you believe it .
Please don't think this is crazy , they may look good to some , and pass the insurance spending decision
but that is because they are spending the money you already gave them , and in most cases
more than your yearly premium . The money saved is really easy .
100 cars a week in repair - insurance saves 100 dollars per car in after market parts usage -
**** 10,000 dollars to them , think about it they do .
