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 .

And this is what it comes to .

It is 2011 is'nt it ?  Well I have seen many things for a cost effective repair to be done and this one takes the cake . Would you want your car to have a Used Frame Rail put in it  ? Well it's 2011 and it being done my friend , and it could be YOU next !! I cannot go into detail for everything to be exposed , but damn if it kills me to see this done . The real extent in plain english is that your car gets damaged , a estimate id written for body repairs , and just after the repairs start the managing insurance carrier or its assigned management from within a shop decides to change things , now this is normal , really it is happening all day long , but is it in your best interest , well that is the problem , a service writer would not want to tell you everything that has changed , why , because you would be upset , and then the insurance carrier that pressures the repair facility to this kind of work would say it was the shops decision , and low and behold the shop is the Bad Guy ,when all along the shop is being pressured to cut corners !!

In the 21st Century ,Can you believe it !

I wanted to share with people a trend in Auto Repairs people may not know about , "clipping " or "sectioning" , now this was the old term for taking a used car from a wrecking yard and cutting your wrecked car and putting the two together ! Wow you might say , well yes , and it's back ! This process is being used today in Auto Body Repair from leading insurance companies as a way to save money ,and unless you know what your estimate or repair order says , you could get this on your next collision repair . Now I have to say , a bolt on fender or door is one thing , thats been smart since saving money was invented , but to take two wrecked cars and make them one , not what is in the best interest , and there are lots to say about this !!

aftermarket parts ??

In all the mis -guided things that a insurance company could pull on a consumer , is the Aftermarket Parts usage terms. I want to share the latest of all push comes to shove propositions , so if you have a strong policy that covers your car with a leading company , you probably have the right to Original Equipment parts after a accident , if you have sub insurance carrier or discount product it only entitles you to After Market repair parts as acceptable to repairs . The latest item to get shoved around is the owner of a mid policy has to accept the repair process of the insured carrier if they want the claim covered as a claimant , or use their own carrier , and pay deductables and then subrogate for future re-imbersement , this in terms means your Honda Accord has to get a After Market fender if you get hit by another Honda that has this policy in effect , although if this had not happened you would still have the Original Part with a VIN tag , or at worst if you wrecked you would at least get a Honda fender back to your Honda !!!
