Denied because I have a cold air intake…
Denied because I have a cold air intake on my car, even though it doesn't affect performance, it's literally just for the sound it makes. I haven't had my car retuned. It's still tuned from the factory. They didn't care. They wouldn't listen. And what would they have done if I didn't have the cold air intake, got insured, and then installed it later? Do they tell you in their contract that any modifications are strictly prohibited? I don't know. Seems like some Nazi bs though to prohibit a person from having anything done to their car though. All I know is that any modifications whatsoever and they will likely deny you or if you get a mod done after getting insured and then need to make a claim and they find out they will most certainly deny your claim. They put me on hold for 5 minutes because I have 18" rims on instead of the 20" rims it came with. They decided it was a small enough of a modification. Then they wanted information on the other people living in my house, who they are insured with and what they drive, which seems very odd as no other insurer asks these questions, so I had to call back with the info which meant more time waiting on hold with their on-hold music and the voice constantly saying, "thanks for your patience, please stay on the line..." That recording every few seconds was driving me crazy and making me lose my patience. When the music stops I always thought an agent was finally picking up. Then I needed to find more information about my ATV, which I also wanted insured with them, so I called back for a 3rd time, waiting on hold for over 22 minutes, and each time I called I had to answer the same line of questions such as, "Have you had your license suspended in the last 3 years?" Jumping through hoops all afternoon only to be denied right before getting insured. The 3rd person asked me the same questions the other 2 ladies asked me which is super frustrating because weren't they putting anything on my file in their system?? He was the only one to ask if I have a different muffler or a cold air intake to which I answered yes on the air intake and was immediately denied. They could have literally saved me 4 hours of my time if they just asked that when I first called! Very disorganized in this sense. Why didn't the first 2 ladies ask me that??? They're the only insurance company who cares about bulls*it like a cold air intake or different rims. No one else even asks. I can't speak on what they're like for actual claims or anything because I didn't get that far. This is just my review about the denial because of simple mods that haven't affected performance. I didn't even mention my roof rack! They might have had a problem with that too. "It affects the way the wind blows over your car. Denied."
