Insurance Idiot
« on: 22 March 2010, 17:41:58 »
So just got off the phone with the Insurance guy regarding the replacement of the oil cooler in the omega.. I bought it 2 months ago and for the last few weeks have been battling to get a reply from the insurance company as it came with a 1 year engine insurance.
Finally got a call back from the company today and the bloody moron on the phone (who claimed to be the mechanic) tried to tell me that my insurance claim was invalid because.. wait for it....
oil coolers do not exist yep, according to him there is no such thing as an oil cooler in a cars engine.
What an absolute moron, i'm off down there wednesday morning with the car to battle it out. He was reluctant to set up a time, but we got there in the end..
Then he tries to claim it could take a few weeks to fix...

Going to struggle to keep composed on Wednesday morning methinks..

sounds to me mate you should probably jus forget the insurance and take it to a mechanic who actually KNOWS what he is doing... not only does this guys think there is no oil cooler, but he would probs be the one to fix it.... no thanks, i would sooner pay out my own pocket than have a bodger do something he aint heard off :-X :-X :-? :-?
