Lakewood NJ Master Thread

I've used allstate collision  a year and half ago. I was very happy with their service.
A few years ago, I used one of the autobody guys in town who "work things out" and make sure you get the most amount of money from insurance. It was extremely stressful and time consuming.

In contrast, recently (in another accident with a lot of damage) I used Allstate; I didn't get any money back from them - but the white glove service and the quality of work was worth forgoing the extra chunk of change I could've made from using one of the "shtick machers" IMO. Allstate had a rental for me within 15 minutes of the accident, called me every few days with an update, and returned my rental for me. The car, which was heavily damaged, is as if nothing ever happened; very high quality work.

high quality work and white glove service indeed but they are doing the same "shtick" as everyone else (from experience)

If I ever need it again, I will have the adjuster come to my house and get a check from insurance before I take it to the body shop. Never had this before.

I do that get a check from insurance directly and then decide who to go to.  More often than not I make a decent profit and get car fixed

If u have a lease the adjuster won’t give u the check directly because there is a lean on the car

The insurance (Allstate) said they don't give you the check, even thou there is no lien on the car. You tell them which body shop you sent your car to and they work it out with them. The person who hit the car has that liberal insurance which only covers 5k in damages (this will be a rant for a different time). For work more than that we'll end up paying the $500 deductible and losing the no crash discount for 3 years (which makes the insurance go up a total of $900 over 3 years. Allstate Collusion wanted more than 5k, so now AutoCorrect has it and they'll do it for 5k, but some of the work will be used parts (cosmetic part of the car, not the important stuff).

I have managed to get direct payment from the damager's insurance company.  I guess depends on company?

exterminator
I've used Bugaboo in the past and I've been happy. It wasn't major jobs, though, just standard annual sprays for centipedes and the like.
