Like all companies it comes down to its employees and how they operate. My guess is that your great experience has less to do with the actual company and more to do with specific employees and how they run that specific "branch".
That's a true statement in my experience! The original agent when I signed up with the company I've been with for a long time was great. Attentive, knowledgeable, gave you a straight answer, pleasant to deal with. Same with the State Farm guy ...we use a couple different ins companies. At some point the good guy from Company A moved on and the younger Agent who replaced him, is a moron IMO. He's given me incorrect information a couple times, which I knew with a high degree of certainty weren't true, I've dealt with buildings/vehicles, etc for a long time.
And when I pointed out I thought he was incorrect (and why), he stuck to his guns and dug in. Again...like a moron. I could even tell in his voice he wasn't sure. He should have said, "Hey, you know what, Let me research it and call you back" but he made it seem like I was the person in the wrong. Anyway, I turned around and called the corporate staff which I usually talk to anyway ...and they agree'd, his answers were completely false and they took care of me on the phone in a couple minutes. And it happened again.
I have had good overall service with the company, I just call into the 800 number and talk to the people on the phone and have for the last 10 yrs. One of the gals gave me the direct number so I don't get caught up in phone menu jail. The national people seem to know their stuff.
But yeah, good people make the difference. And like someone said, best to not deal with the local agent unless you need to. But if they're good people maybe there are times they can 'pull' for you..
Hey it's all good! To be fair, my insurance has always been great to me but I have never been on the receiving end of them either. Or however you would word that, you know what I mean I am sure.I believe "we" high jacked the OP's post. But, interesting thing's did shine through about insurance companies being an scam.
OP, glad your ok and hopefully things will work out for the best.
Did it bend the frame most that other stuff you mentioned are replaceable as parts.Ouch! Hope you're not too sore tomorrow! Yes, I think she'll be totaled.
Yeah frame damaged beyond repair. Broke off a couple brackets and bent some other onesDid it bend the frame most that other stuff you mentioned are replaceable as parts.
It sucks having to wait so long, but hopefully it all ends up well in the end. The truck you are looking at getting sounds like a good one...the delmonico red is a beautiful color. That is the color of my wife's truck. Mine is the granite Chrystal metallic. Hope it fits in the garage and you get it, and insurance treats you right and can eventually put it all behind you!!!Little update...
June 28th was when I got T-boned. They did declare my truck a total loss but it took them weeks to do it. I only heard about it a few days ago.
I finally got my first offer for my truck the 24th of July and it was crazy low. Gone back and forth a bit. And they offered a bit more, still not happy with the amount.
Still fighting that out but I only have until Wednesday for my rental car. So if we don't reach an agreement before then I will be out of pocket for that.
I have my eyes on a new truck though. If it fits in the garage I'll own it in the next couple days. Salesman is either coming to my house or I'll be driving it home to see if it fits tomorrow.
I'll post pics when I get the new truck. But its a crew cab, delmonico red, 4x4, 5.7 hemi, 3.92 gears, anti-spin diff, no etorque, 8.4 radio, backup cam and all the 8.4 goodies like parking sensors... Pretty truck overall. And 11k miles. So I'll owe a bit but, I think it will work out.
This whole process has absolutely sucked. I am just tired of driving a Nissan Altima and want a truck again! Crossing my fingers it will be next week when everything is done.
Thanks for the good wishes, will know soon if we can make it work. Delmonico was the color I wanted originally before I bought my black truck. I love that color! Granite crystal metallic is another one I like, but color isn't a deciding factor here. Exactly how I ended up with a black truck last time too, right price, right options and right time haha.It sucks having to wait so long, but hopefully it all ends up well in the end.

Looks like the stars are aligning but, ill be cautiously optimistic until everything is done. Will report back tomorrow evening.
Hey! Thanks for checking in! Tried to make some deals in the last week or so but everything has fallen through so far. Some of my local dealers are asking crazy money for trucks right now. Trucks are just dang expensive!I was wondering how things turned out for ya ...
I might have missed what you "saddled up in" since your unfortunate circumstance with your previous HEMI RAM ...
You have to shop smart, without emotion and time frames. Don't let these crooks at the dealers play you with their games and BS. I was walking in dealers to buy a brand new truck and they wanting to charge me more than sticker if I paid cash!!! These guys are clowns, the process is exhausting! Look at a private sale and someone who needs to get out from under a loan that THEY paid too much on. Just my 2 cents.Hey! Thanks for checking in!

But,
What a nightmare this has been. Money finally hit my account yesterday, well over one month since the accident. Weeks of zero communication with allstate even after calling dozens of times and leaving messages through the online portal. They cancelled my rental car two weeks before we settled on a price so I have been out of pocket for that (will get that back in the back end on the lawsuit). Tons of fighting back and forth on price for my mods. Worst one was my tires. 9k miles on a set of Nitto Recon Grapplers that have a 65k mile cert. They offered me $400 for them. I paid almost $2000. Doesn't math LOL And annoyingly they didn't even have my right options selected when they presented comps to me.
Icing on the cake....
Some parts were stolen from my truck while it was in storage at the body shop. Body shop reimbursed me new price for them. (Floor mats and stubby antenna) so not a big deal but just added to my frustration.
I could continue but I'll leave it at that. I am fed up and tired of fighting with these people.
Got my eyes set on a flame red 2021 Rebel with 34k miles right now. Crossing my fingers I can make a deal with them this weekend.
Completely agreed and thanks for your input.You have to shop smart, without emotion and time frames. Don't let these crooks at the dealers play you with their games and BS.

I can't speak for everyone of course but from a non-customer working with them. I don't wish that hell on anyone LOL. No idea if my insurance is any better either to be fair.Maybe the Allstate commercials with the jack-aSS in them who reeks havoc, is indicative how the company is run ...how they treat customers (??). A guy was telling me the other day how he got the major run-around and lack of communication from them too. Just based on the commercials alone I wouldn't go with them.
Hope things go a lot smoother from this point on![]()

We drove the Rebel to my house today and put it in the garage to make sure it fit. Tight squeeze but it fit.You find a truck yet @G-Ride990 ?
