CLAIMS DEPT A LARGE DISSAPOINTMENT

King Price will spare no time in getting you as a client and make promises that they will offer you the best service however when it comes to claiming and repairing your vehicles the process is dismal.

I was in an accident on Friday 06/08, where my Audi was hit by a truck from the back, I was referred to Auto magic for an assessment, Auto magic did not update me till today the 11/08, but to tell me that they are not accredited to repair Audi and I could lose my factory maintenance plan on the car, they then referred me to LS Auto, I had to call King Price 3 times to query on the process forward, still nothing has been done??? Waiting for some sort of service delivery from king price, another thing, I took vehicle rental as part of the insurance, the car is drivable in the sense that you can drive it to the panel beaters, but thats about it, you cannot drive it regularly because the boot lid is smashed in and the rear lights are also smashed , NO CAR RENTAL WAS OFFERED, SO BASICALLY KING PRICE HAS BEEN A DISAPPOINTED- STILL SITTING WITH MY DAMAGED CAR

Although we never really enjoy hearing that our clients have been frustrated or disappointed by us, we do appreciate you bringing situations like this to our attention, so that we can immediately improve the service we provide.  Unfortunately parts delays are beyond our control. The repairer has been in contact regarding the status of the repairs and will be in further contact as the repair progresses.

Reviewer Update
This review was sent in at the time I was having great difficulty with your claims dept in getting the process moving- 11 August 2021, After a literal count of 10 calls to your call center- You should have records of all the calls, and my own calls to LS Autobody, I was able to book the car into LS Auto body on the 16th August, I think King Price needs to review the claims process- your claims department is highly inefficient and will chase away loyal customers, also your classing of whether the car is drivable or not is confusing to say the least. My car had a rear smash, so it technically still was drivable but you could not drive it to work everyday as the boot is smash in along with the lights, only drivable to an authorized repairer. Hence your Rental Car service which I took, only came into effect from the 17 of August. The initial person handling the claim should of directed me on the Friday 6 August to LS Autobody instead of Auto Magic- Because all I was doing was driving around a damaged car for nothing. The initial hired car that Europcar lent me broke down mechanically after 4 days, which meant the car had to be towed and another rental car arranged, this took another 5 calls to Europcar to sort out. All in all, a very taxing experience.
