Dissatisfaction with auto&general claims process

My car has a mechanical problem and it has been taken to a dealer so that it can be fixed. I have a VAP policy with auto and general, I logged the claim, and they sent us application forms to fill detailing what is wrong with the car. My issue is that it's a mechanical issue, therefore for the dealer to take pictures, I as a policy holder will be liable for that labor. Why can't they just approve or decline my claim instead of them requesting me to pay the dealer just so they can be satisfied that the car broke down!? We buy these products because of these uncer*****ies, but when it's time for them to approve they will take you from pillar to post, for no reason at all.

MY CAR IS STILL WITH THE DEALER FROM LAST WEEK, AND NO WORK HAS BEEN DONE ON THE CAR BECAUSE OF YOUR CLAIMS DEPARTMENT!!! I have two more policies with auto and general, and I'm thinking of getting another insurer, because this is really not good business practice.

Kind regards Tshepiso

Good day,
We do not have the problem with completing the required documents, these documents were sent to us already, however the car is with the dealer and the dealer wanted clarity on some of the documents hence we needed to talk to someone who can assist the dealer.

Auto & Genaral still hasn't called the dealer, even after I have requested them to do so, and provided them with the contact person details.

An email was sent from the dealer, we are still waiting for the consultatant to respond. The dealer (contact person) will be on training on Monday and Tuesday we really wanted to ensure that everything is in order before Monday.
