Worse service

I am really unhappy about the service that I have received.

I was in a car accident the 3rd of January 2024, my car was taken to Arc panel beaters and since then every week there is a new reason we will not be receiving the car.

Today I phoned in order to find out what is going once a again and the person put me on hold and the ends the call this happened to me twice now.

The second person atleast could tell me what the panel beaters said but when I complained about the time the repairs is taken he just put me on hold without saying anything and ended the call.

I would definitely not after this recommend Discovery Insurance to anybody. Really every disappointed in the service that we are receiving.

Thank you for replying.

The service definitely did not improve at all.

A new part needed to be ordered for my car and the panel beaters had to get authorization from discovery (this was done one Wednesday). We phoned the panel beaters to ask on the progress and was informed that Discovery has not yet approved the parts.

My husband phoned discovery to enquire about this and the call dropped once again. Luckily the operator was so nice as to call back. My husband was told by Discovery that they have approved the parts yesterday but the panel beaters has not received any information from discovery.

The service is really the worse that I have experienced.

This means that if the parts is approved today the car will only most likely be ready middle next week. It will be 2 months next Saturday that I have been waiting. And between Discovery and the panel beaters we don't know how to believe anymore.

I personally feel that this is the worse insurance company that I have been with and when we moved to Discovery I really thought that they will be the best insurance as this is a well known company and they have a been around for years. To my disappointment this was not the case.

We had to make plans and spend money we did not budget in order to get to work each day. This has really not just been mentally draining but also financially and I really hoped that my car would have been done much quicker.
