Happy Ending - Insurance Experience

Oh oh, they are my insurers ! I've only claimed for hail damage and had no problems whatsoever. Apparently you guys have had. Oh dear....

Had an excellent run with AAMI. They organised the quote, sent me home in a taxi and sent a taxi for me when the job was done. At no cost to me.

Car was repaired with new genuine parts to as good as new. They even replaced bits I thought they would repair.

Rang us up some time later to check if we were happy with the work/sevice.

We sure are. I guess it's the luck of the draw......

Hey Ivan!! You could do your own AAMI ad!!

Unfortunately!

I am impressed.

(1) They made me take the vehicle (Honda Accord) it to their assessment centre first

(2) Leave it there for the assessor to do what ever

(3) It stayed there whilst prospective repairers were allowed to inspect and then tender for the repair.

(4) I wanted to use a repairer of my choice - nup! best tender wins the deal.

(5) By the grace of god the repairer is about 1km as the crow flies from place and turned out be chit and a bit on the repairs. Adrian from AAMI would be one p i s s e d individual if he had worked that out.

(6) Anyway half way through the repair I get a phone call which tells me that the reparier had discovered a front brake senor warning light on and that it has to be fixed before releasing it.

So fix it

Oh! its not on the assessing sheet sir and therefore outside the authorised repair which was the rear boot area after a Nissan driving 4WD'er ploughed into whilst stationary at the lights.

(7) Thats when the nightmare hit top gear, with Adrian piling the fuel on the fire every time he spoke on the phone. Sir ! we assessed the damage on the rear. Warning lights weren't checked . on and on and on it went.

(8) End result - I paid $300 to get that mother back with a new front brake sensor in it and AAMI lost insurance on three vehicles and a house.

Chicken feed I supposeOh! and the plicks refused a hire care whilst it was being repaired.

As I said above the dude at the repairers informed me that GIO were the best to deal with for everyone concerned and so far they have been.

Not much more I can say other than they have my two 4WD's and never battered an eyelid with values, accessories and modifications. (engineering Cert's provided)

I'm more worried about his wife kissing bumbers in a carpark!!!

So am I Michael, so am I.

Had a marketing call from Telstra this morning, trying to flog something I wasn't the slightest bit interested in.

I couldn't understand what the "Indian gentleman" was saying and said just a minute while I put my hearing aids in.

Left the phone for a few minutes and the bleep had hung up on me. Inconsiderate I thought! It takes a long time to insert my electronic ears:-)))

Actually I lied to him because if I am wearing them, I take one out to answer the phone.

This is just a cut and paste from above so that you don't miss it.

GIO are the only ones(general insures) who would insure it under $1000.

The so called 4WD specialists wanted $1500 plus.

You know the old trick of the value dropping each year and the premium skyrocketing.

There was no great issue of it being used for offroad purposes, however I would expect there to be appropriate robust dialogue in the evnt of a catastrophic writeoff whilst off road.

See response to Jimbo below mate.

This is a summary of what happened to me with AAMI. It was 2 & 1/2 years agao and form your experiences it looks as if they have lifted their game to the same level as their competion which would be a positive move.
