Progressive vs. Toyota body shop.?

I recently got into a car accident, that wasn’t my fault. The other driver’s car insurance (Progressive) paid for fixing my car. So I decided to take it to my dealership’s body shop. It took about a week and I finally got it back however my car handle from the inside is damaged. It wasn’t ruined in the accident or before I took it to the Toyota dealer. I went back to the dealership and told them what happened. they said, “You think it’s our fault?” Then stated that they were going to take pictures and send it to Progressive and have them fix it.

You did the right thing. They are trying to screw the insurance company, which is the same as trying to screw you since you are the paying customer. Every time an insurance company pays out something that they should not pay out, it is costing you and us more money. If they broke the handle, then they should pay. You do have the backing of the insurance company and have them hold payment until they fix what they damaged. The insurance company may just pay for the handle rather than deal with the hassle. I the dealer still refuses to fix the handle at their cost, then ask to see the next guy up the management chain and keep going until you get the owner of the dealership. Also threaten to get Toyota, the bog company not the dealer, into the complaint. Keep at it and they will bend.

What is the average time taken by an Insurance company to pay out on a car claim.?

I suppose it would depend on the nature of the damage to ones car and also who was at fault. However in my case, my car caught fire from what I believe may have been an electrical fault. It is now a total write off. I realise the insurance company has to carry out it’s investigations but how long should this take and how soon would one expect to receive an offer.

Between six weeks and ten years would be normal. All insurance companies first duty is to avoid paying out on claims. If they pay out too readily the premiums will rise for everyone. Lets face it business is business.

Is Western General auto insurance any good?

I got a quote from survival for auto insurance that was better than most others. The company who is insuring me is western general. I never heard of this company and am a bit worried about how they handle accidents. Are anyone else insured by Western General? If so how are they and how do you rate them?

If they’re cheap, I’d take it. Go with the cheapest company

Insurance companies all like to paint a rosy picture about how they handle accidents and how helpful and friendly they are in their commercials, but it’s all BS.

It’s the insurance adjuster’s job to try to pay you as little money as possible and to slap at least part of the blame on you so your rate can be raised.
