The staff at Safe Collision Repairs recently received these kind words from a consumer who scoured our website for help when he received what he felt was an unreasonable offer in the form of an appearance allowance from an Allstate Insurance Company adjuster.

The consumer we will identify only as "Colin V."  writes:

"Just wanted to drop a line to thank you for providing the extremely valuable information on your website

http://www.safecollisionrepairs.com .  I used the page as a resource when my insurance company (Allstate) was trying to offer me a paltry $250 appearance allowance on a $2k+ repair on my dashboard that was damaged during a break-in.  The ethically-challenged adjustor framed his offer as a "special deal" and made it sound rather tempting.  A little digging on your page, however, made it clear that I was entitled to the entire amount of the repair bill regardless of whether or not I had it repaired.  A little bit of research with your help has netted me a check ~$1700 larger than their initial offer."

"Although it's disheartening to know that your own insurance company will engage in such behavior, it's nice to have resources such as yours to make sure the playing field is level."

"Thanks for maintaining the site!"

-Colin V.
