Progressive Insurance: Claims

[bear down]

Has anyone had any claims with progressive? How were they? I am about to renew with them but an Insurance company who was giving me a quote really bashed them about service and claims and they also knew prior employees who would not work there again for double their salary. Just want to get a straight story, normally I hate when companies bash their competitors, but doesn't hurt to ask. Thanks

They were one of our largest accounts. The software they use to determine the auto claims was ours and it's the industry standard used by almost all insurance companies claims depts. I knew most the exec in claims and many others. Most love working there but if your friends came from claim adjusting - well that job is not too fun no matter where you go.
Here's is what they do a bit different. They always have a Progressive employee write your claim - not the shop. If you go to one of their approved shops the work is guaranteed for life. They do watch cost on a big time measure. This means they will use aftermarket parts and Used parts when ever reasonably possible and repair vs replace parts where it makes sense. If I was fixing my truck with my own money I would use the same parts - so no big deal for me. As far as total loss reimbursement they use NADA guides in most states –see NADA.com. Best thing you can do is read the policy then there will be no surprises. You are buying a product/service so you get what the description (policy states) nothing more nothing less.
Hope that helps.

Hey, what's your shop name and location?

On my policy I have " Total Replacement Cost Rating Base" for the amount specified for my boat. I assume this will buy/pay me a new boat for it's current value up to that specific price not what the NADA determines the value of the boat on the policy..Correct me if I am wrong.

They handle alot of claims for my shop on boats. State Farm used to be my favorite to deal with, now it's Progressive. They are very fast and efficient and call on a regular basis to see how the job is coming along.

I was on the receiving end of one of their insured and it did go quick, but felt I got the short end of the true value stick........
