Popular Post jsharr ★ Posted June 23, 2018 Popular Post Share #1 Posted June 23, 2018 Got Geico to increase their estimate on my truck to what I wanted and State Farm just approved my claim for the hail damage to the truck that lowered the value at Geico. All told, I got close to what I paid for the truck when I bought it new. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jsharr ★ Posted June 23, 2018 Author Popular Post Share #4 Posted June 23, 2018 All told, I am happy. I sent a few emails to the Geico adjuster from my work email and provided him with lots of information and a few items he missed on the truck. They must have worked, as the went out and reexamined my truck and agreed with me it was worth more. I got more than the amount I wanted from Geico and then the Geico adjuster told me I should contact my insurance let them know that even though the truck was totalled, it had hail damage that lowered the value. I did that today and State Farm just approve the claim and is sending me a check that will push the entire payout to within a few hundred dollars of what I paid for the truck pre tax. So I got retail value for a truck that I drove for three years. This will make replacing my truck much easier! 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dottleshead ★ Posted June 23, 2018 Share #15 Posted June 23, 2018 Geico is a rip off. I asked for an insurance quote from them once and they quoted me a thousand dollars more than another company for the exact same policy. When I told them that they said it was due to a number of different factors. Yeah, like the number one being you are mass commercial rip off artists. So it pleases me you took money from them. But it concerns me you do business with them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted June 23, 2018 Share #17 Posted June 23, 2018 Good going! I've been treated extremely well by State Farm in the past: they gave me $2992 in 2013 for my $900 book value car when a hit-and-run accident totaled it and a 2005 fire in my living room that caused extensive smoke damage resulted in my house being worth $40,000 more than before the fire by the time they were finished renovating it including all-new wiring and completely replaced vinyl siding (the old aluminum siding wasn't damaged except minor soot above one window).
