Halfrauds prices and insurance replacement

Halfords do price match

 

If I had an insurance claim and the insurance company said to me, "where not going to replace your car with the same car you had say merc, we will give you the equivalent to it, you can pick any skoda you like they all range from 100,000pounds an you have a 30,000 voucher"

I would tell them to go suck a fucking dick quite frankly.

Speak to you insurance company an explain your are not happy with the situation, ask to see if you can source your own identical items you had before, and will settle for nothing less, you insured your shit, they have to replace it end of in my eyes

 

Exactly thats all the advice needed they cant say well you had a lambo so heres a corsa same principal if its like for like then you say you want identical items

 

Plus halfords price match anything also so just go down that route .

 

My dad had load of bother with insurance not long ago, he had a ST mondeo that was insured for a value of £2500. Got written off by some bellend who ran a red light. Insurance offered him £1200 to replace the car so he told them to go fuck theirselves. It took 10 months to get through after loads of phone calls and letters to the head man at quinn but eventually he got £2300 to get a new car with. Be firm with your insurers, you paid for it so get them told, don't take no shit either!

 

Or as adam says halfords price match either way dont settle until your happy

 

Same here. Wrote my R32 off last year and the original settlement figure my insurance offered me was £1000, I laughed at this so they came back with £1600, I laughed again, then they offered my £2100 which was what I paid for it so I accepted. Easy.

 

(I work for Halfords. It's a job while at college/uni. Please hold the hate)

All you need is proof that the other item is cheaper and they should price match it to the cheaper one as long as it's not from sites like Amazon/Play/ebay.


Also as said before. be firm with your insurers, they want to to just take the little amount of money and go. Just go for the spec you had before.

 

I also work for halfords and can comfirm we do price match, HOWEVER it is not matched against on line retailers, only from other shops within a 20 mile radius. If you have a local independent audio shop get a price from them and then go back to Halfords with that. Also try and get friendly with the manager, explain the situation and hopefully they will help you out!

 

As the good book says treat others as you wish to be treated insurance companys charge way too much being arseholes so we should then be arseholes back until we get what we pay for

 

buy a copy of maxpower/redline/fastcar or any chavbased mag and there will be a billion adverts in the back just look for the addresses. In fact read them in tescos to save any embarressment in purchasing them.

 

Here you go match against this place.

Car Audio Centre - The UK's Number 1 Supplier of Quality Car Audio Equipment - CarAudioCentre.co.uk

 

as i now work for an insurance company i would deffo say look at the contract. most contracts say will pay up to *** amount for permanently fitted audio and visual equipment.
if you can prove the amount you payed for that in the first place the will probably pay same amount out if not then they will give you the equivalent to what it is worth now

 

no worries dude best of luck
