I hope they are just ignorant. I know they are ignorant, but hope they are not so willfully. I am trying to work with them and currently hold no malice other then I think the chick talking to me was a bit of a bitch in how she handled my polite disagreements with her estimations.
My company is USAA and has been fantastic to deal with in most all regards for a long time. I have only had one bad employee and this current situation to bitch about and they are by far the exception. |

My company is USAA and has been fantastic to deal with in most all regards for a long time. In which case you should really be set. I have been a member of USAA for 15 years now, and I have never had a problem. Ignorance is often the case. I had my Civic broken into, I thought I would play hell getting my aftermarket EMS replaced. They wondered if it was an amp etc.... I had to go into detail about what an EMS does, I sent them to the website I bought it from and told them the model...they looked, said ok and paid me full price for it. (and even gave me an upgraded stereo to boot) They have been really understanding during accidents, my car was hit in a parking lot by an uninsured idiot...they actually came down on my $500 deductible because I did not have the cash at the time, they also made sure my rates did not increase due to an accident that was not my fault. Deal with them rationally, and I think they will do the same. |
