Anchor General Auto Insurance Skimping on the Bill.?

I live in California. I was in an accident over a year ago and had my vehicle fixed at Anchor Generals PPO shop. After over 2 months of not having a car I got it back and a horrible job was done. I’m a full time student and I work full time. So I didn’t send the car back to the shop for repairs because I couldn’t be out of a vehicle any longer. I just recently found my vehicle badly vandalized and instead of going to their horrible PPO shop I’m taking it to a highly recommended body shop for the repairs but because I am, the insurance company is penalizing me for 20% of the damages on top of my $500 deductible for doing so. I don’t think this is right at all. I don’t pay 80% of my bill for them to pay 80% of the work. Does anyone else have this problem? Even with a different insurance company?
i got into a car wreck in san fransisco I hate that place the lighting system blows anyways i got t boned by a mercedes and the state farm insurrance covers 25,000 of the opposing car to my delight the car is worth 35,000 so looks like i am screwed huh i would highly recomend a high liability coverage otherwise youll get screwed like me
I’ll bet somewhere in your policy it states that they can do this. It surely doesn’t sound fair but I think you are stuck. When your prior repairs were not satisfactory, did you complain to your insurance company ? If you did, they should have got your car back in to make the repairs satisfactory. I would look for a different insurer
Anchor General can do this as do most non-standard auto insurance carriers. They prefer you to take it to their PPO to save on repair costs, and obviously to avoid fraud. That stipulation is located on your policy packet you received when you first got your insurance policy.
If you have no tickets or accidents, over 3 years licensed in the U.S., and over 25 don’t even bother going to a non-standard carrier. Go check out Triple A, Geico, Wawanesa, Farmers and any othe preferred carrier. They carry less provisions.
