    Geico Insurance Quote

    Turtle, as a shop I would not have allowed that to happen. If you can't show them the damage, they're not going to pay for it. An alignment machine is not going to tell you if there are slight problems with the frame measurements. If the appraiser is not being agreeable, you do not have to accept that. It should have been your department head's job to call and ensure that her damages were paid.

     

    That, my friend, is why I'd NEVER have my car repaired at a dealership. ;) I can't even begin to list the "re-repairs" that we did on cars that were "repaired" by dealerships. The guys in my shop had 20+ years of experience each. We'd take cars in to have things reset (some SAAB and VW things can only be reset by the dealer) and they'd ask "Where was it hit?" after we'd just finished reconstructing 20k+ in damages. :)

     

    Again, it comes back to know your rights... and know your repairer, lol. The woman should never have paid that 3,000 and I can promise that would not happen if she had come to the place I worked. That 3,000 would have been written as a supplement and we would have called the insurance company daily until it was PAID. If need be, on a rare occasion, a letter to the insurance commissioner can help. Another thing that sometimes works is holding the car hostage until they pay, lol. (You do not have to release the car until the bill is paid in full.) If they are paying loss of use compensation, they like to try to clear the claims up as quickly as possible. ;)

     

    I can't blame the insurance company for that one. Of course they try not to pay! It's their job, lol. It's YOUR job (well, your boss') to MAKE SURE they pay! Aren't you glad you left that job, lol. I actually miss mine. I used to keep a state statute book on my desk and start quoting insurance regulations if they gave me a hard time. I'm sure they didn't like me much, but my customers sure did!

     

    Any chance you're in Tallahassee Florida? I HATE dealing with car repairs. :(

    I love Geico. Rearended someone (bent their rear bumper), no cops called because didn't see the damage until they got home. Geico asked me if I hit them from the rear, I said yes, they paid for the accident and didn't hear another thing from anyone ever about it. I think I paid an extra hundred or two for the whole six month premium. I can't remember but it wasn't a lot at all. I love GEICO. And I now pay $68 a month for car insurance, full coverage $500 deductible. I haven't had an accident except for the fender bender over 5 years ago.

    eMachines T3604 Desktop with 17" Monitor & Photo Printer - $379.97 @ Best Buy

    I bought an E-machine in 2000 and I added memory, replaced the monitor, keyboard, mouse, sound card (X3). But that thing was still kicking this year when I upgraded to a T5048 Emachine. I have seen other computers break down while my EMachine was still ticking. I hardly ever turned it off, did regular disk scans, and used Mozilla Firefox as my browser. I don't know if that helped or not, but I was very pleased with my EMachine.

    $15 off $15 Lane Bryant coupon Feb. 12 - 19

    I just went there and my Lane Bryant was having a good sale already. I got a pants suit that was originally $49.50 for the pants alone, plus a sweater vest that was $39.50 originally plus a lace blouse, all for $70. The lady had no problem letting me ring each coupon up seperately. But then she talked me into getting 20% off the whole shebang so I did that instead of the $15 each item plus I got $25 off of $75.

     

    So I got a 9.99 shirt for 5.61, 49.50 pants for 20.84, 29.99 blazer for 16.83 and 39.50 vest for 15.52. Yay me!

    Rebate Rant

    in Deal Finder & Deal Discussion

    I too had no problem with Best Buy.

     

    I just nearly had a stroke with Comcast. They offered a free modem if you ordered your high speed internet online. So you go through the whole process and I find out that the I have to pay for the modem after I've already ordered the high speed internet and that it is a mail in rebate to get it for free! So I was like fine, I paid for the modem and the paperwork says you have to include the first month bill that shows you have high speed internet. So I get the first bill. No high speed internet. I call Comcast and they tell me it will be on the next months bill. Fine. Get the next bill, NO HIGH SPEED INTERNET. So I call and they tell me that I never ordered the internet... even though they sent me the modem, confirmed my high speed internet and the guy told me that I would get it on next months bill AND I HAD BEEN USING IT FOR TWO MONTHS! What she could do was put my order through to make sure I get charged for high speed internet. I was so mad I told her I was going to write a letter to the Attorney Generals office. I'm so ticked off.

     

    Still haven't gotten a rebate from buy.com but I will give it a couple of weeks.
