utemad Member 120 Member For: 16y 5m 29d Posted 19/07/09 10:32 AM Share Posted 19/07/09 10:32 AM you guys are aware how aami is to deal with which is why you get insuramnce in the first place right..I dont know where you are but to my knowledge vehicle is dropped off or towed to there inspection station where they asses it and then beaters turn up there to bid on the repair and cheapest guy wins .. you then recollect your vehicle from aami when done.. doesn't sound like what id want unless it was just some work hack ute..If I am wrong feel free to correct but this is what happened to one of my brothers cars .. no choice of repairer offered cheers utemad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went through the car after it was repaired and picked every minor issue and made them fix it. but that is exactly what they do. not the best option in my eyes,pricks will cut corners and put u and your family members at risk just 2 make a buck.

Few issues that needed rectifying but was far from a drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickgibbo Member 41 Member For: 15y 5m 7d Posted 19/07/09 11:46 AM Share Posted 19/07/09 11:46 AM You guys have brought up my two concerns about Aami - 2 year NFO and choice of repairer.But I can chose a different insurer for the second year. Its the choice of repairer I'm more concerned about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAC just sent a new offer for insurance...Paid 1500 for the last years worth. Was 24 when I signed last Aug.Car is used part business (on road professional I guess is the category). Now at 25yo this year they want $193.26 a month...that's $2319 pa.AAMI quote online was 1350 odd once the car is actually up for renewal next Aug!What's the go with Valet service...is that something you choose when you sign up? Or is it done over the phone at the time of a prang? Edited 19/07/09 12:08 PM by -SteveR- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tab Sucker Moderating Team 32,303 Member For: 20y 7m 2d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 20/07/09 12:15 AM Share Posted 20/07/09 12:15 AM Your choice at the 'time of prang'. To be frank about their list of preferred repairers, if your choice of panel shop isn't on the list you'd probably be best to avoid them anyway. It's pretty farkin extensive.At the end of the day you’ve got to go with whatever you feel most comfortable with, but just thought I’d clarify a few misconceptions as I’ve never had a problem with them so see no reason to change. No such thing as a free lunch, so if the two-year new car replacement option is important to you then I guess you just have to pay extra for the privilege.
