Mixing MT tyres (insurance claim problem)
V8MoneyPit:
Indeed. Insurance companies are just that.... companies. They are there to make money like any other company. So they will always try to minimise a payout. They invariably expect to haggle. It's a bonus to them when they don't have to. Go back and insist on getting the vehicle back as it was before.
Ridgeback:
Its not just me then, that thinks they should put it back to the condition before I had the crash. I will keep on and insist on all 4 being the same.
I just had another heated discussion with the insurance company. I asked what would they do if they had a customer car with 1 smashed brake disc following a crash, just change the 1 or do both sides.
She said just the one. After this I asked to talk to someone with an IQ above 20 because I don't know of any accident approved garage that would allow that.
Will just have to keep on at them.

Saffy:
hehe record them next time, chuck on youtube - worth a laugh with a name and shame to boot.
john656:
Ive heared recently that direct line fit second hand parts to cars after crashes too...... is this true or not??
dxmedia:
Direct line wont fit any parts, they will used local garages who have registered with the insurance companies.
If the garages are cutting corners and fitting 2nd hand parts then it's probably fraud.
