Your right we pay alot for insurance and get a job done as cheap as. It's proper s#*t because it's written in the small print that no one reads, the bodyshop has the issues of trying to get the parts to fit in a fashion and paint as little as they are told ( if we paint extra because we know it won't match the insurance don't pay because everything should be edge to edge. bull s#*t!!!). And then we get a going over because the customer is rightly not happy that they had non gen parts fitted that look like they fit like a glove on a elephant.
It makes me cross . Even if you have a no-fault claim and the other people say it was their fault you still have to declare it. This happened with my daughter and my partner I went on to get quotes on other companies and put in no fault claims as the insurance company we were originally With said we had to declare, it went up over £100 or more. How can that be right? But if you don’t declare it and you claim on your insurance it will go against you. The world of insurance has gone mad.
You’re right - it’s totally unfair. I now pay more because my neighbour hit my van once five years ago and didn’t even cause a claim. That blatant profiteering should not be allowed to go on. That and the excessive payouts they make to hire car companies and some repairers - they should pay no more than market value yet they allow themselves to be ripped off… I assume they make money from this themselves somehow.
They also wonder why a few people will try and scam them. When they charge so much and waste the money as they do, while still making large profits, some people will think they want a bit of that action too or deserve to ‘claim’ some of their money back.
