Incompetent claim handling
By A Dad in Southern California from

I’m sorry to write this review. Up until this incident I’ve been very pleased with Amica’s service. However, this changed in June, when my daughter had minor ‘fender bender’. I had the car towed to our local dealer, called in the claim and rented a car from Enterprise. The problems snowballed while my very nice young Amica Rep assured me that everything was being handled.
· The car sat for a week at the dealer before an adjuster came saw the car (I’m in Southern California – not the boondocks.) I had to coordinate the adjuster\'s visit to the body shop!
· The claim was approved and the car was towed to the dealer’s offsite body shop.
· The body shop advised an additional part was required to complete the repair.
· The car sat for another week before Amica approved the additional part. I had to coordinate communication between the adjuster, claims rep and body shop.
· After three weeks the car was repaired and I returned the rental.
· According to my claims rep the rental was to be set up for direct bill.
· Last week the unanticipated rental fee of $711 came through my checking account, causing an NSF problem.
I’m not happy. This was way too much of a self-service experience. I expect more from well-rated Amica. If I wanted lazy and sloppy work, I’d pay far less to any other insurance company – which I’m considering.
