@saved1970 Using an in network shop makes the entire claim process quicker and easier. Progressive also guarantees the repairs, labor rates are pre negotiated and if anything doesn’t go well with the shop progressive has leverage they can pull and work with. If you go outside of the network the...
@saved1970 You already opened a claim up your rates are going up even if they pay nothing. Get fixed through them. Next time get an estimate before opening a claim and make the decision if you want to pay out of pocket or not.
@hollywoodbowles Hang in there I know what you are going through. I work in claims for a competitor so I knew what to expect for a property claim. I can confidently say the carrier I work for is much much better than AFICS. I remember the VP asking how my property claim was going and when I...

@hollywoodbowles Homesite isn’t known for having good claim service. AFICS (American Family Claim Services) is who you are dealing with. I dealt with them two years ago and it was the same experience no one ever helped and no one ever called back or returned calls period. I went almost 4 weeks...

@vegdar The insurance company doesn’t care where the car is registered they care about the primary garaging location. If you get insurance when you are in ny set that as the primary and then when you move just call them and tell them you moved and the primary garaging location has changed.
