Default Not a good friday..

Earlier today I went to pick up my bike from cycle plex and when I got back it was all normal playing games with my boy, etc. Then I get a knock on the front door and my neighbor says, "your car got hit"!!! His damn wife's boss was backing out of their driveway where she hit the driver side quarter panel by the gas cap. To top it off she was on the way to the airport since she has a conference meeting in GA so no sign of her I'm glad they at least gave me a heads up on what happened. I just got a call from the neighbor and supposely her boss already contacted geico and filed the claim. Now I need to give my info to her boss 2moro so an adjuster can come out.

This sucks!! My first ding in the car

When i lived on the southside i parked in the street & not only did my car get hit, it got egged a lot.

well I am very glad like I mentioned they told me...

I been with geico for about 4-5 years now so I'll get an idea of how their claims dept. work. They give me any problems and I'll make sure I find another auto ins. co. I wish my car wasn't in the street but I have no choice right now. In december it will be garaged kept since we should be in our new house by then. My paint is all jacked up right now since its been egged like 5x since I've had it.

ive been with geico for 4-5 years as well. however when my ex wrecked her car due to some kid running a stop sign they wanted to depreciate the value of the car cause the carpet had stains, little dings here n there n such. Im just lazy and havent had a chance to find another ins company.

I know its annoying but thats not too bad. Accidents happen, thats a minor one, and at least it is getting fixed.

I've been with Geico for 14 years and never had a problem like that for claims. I've had 2 on my SS and they fixed it right up, even tore into the body shop for me when they were being dilholes and not color matching the red. The only thing is that they'll try to talk you into using Caliber Collision, but don't.

at least someone told you, and she made a point to file the claim. my car was pristine at 108K on it and i came out one day to find a nice dent it quarter. my boss had did it because he was only car parked next to mine. of course he wouldn't admit to it or anything, managed to get most of dent out myself and another 75 for PDR then i'll be set.

Man Alfie that blows. Alex said that's a quick fix. Could of been worse. We had that same spot hit on the Z. He just fixed this week. Our Sunoco hood came in so he went ahead and repainted the Z. Let me know if he can help.

If you decide to switch insurance, check Safeco, they have always taken care of me. My fiancee wrecked my Z71 and they gave me more for the truck than I could have sold it for and the even gave me credit for the extras ie lift, bumpers, wheels, etc.

This past monday I walked out and found minwax wood stain down the driver side of my 98 and 89. Got lucky it was still wet and cleaned up with wax remover this is the first time something happened to the cars, but my truck has been messed with twice and my old truck was egged.

The claims dept. called this morning and wanted me to bring in the vehicle to their recommended shops and Caliber was on there. They also mentioned Red McCombs off Vance Jackson. I told them on Saturday I can drop it off but do I have to use their shops or can I have them write me out a check and I do my own homework who to take it to?

anyone?
