Outsurance Mechanical Warranty

Worst decision I have made for my cat was taking the outsuramce mechanical warranty. When I took my car to Zeemax BMW, the first thing they said when they saw my insurance schedule was that I have made the worst decision ever, OUTsurance will not pay for mechanical claims, they struggle with them. This left me with fear, however I continued with my claim. 10 days later after complaining for poor communication and submitting everything OUTsurance asked for including service history from the time my vehicle was purchase and still on motor plan, outsiance came back to me saying out of the R8400.00 clam, the will pay R600 for Ignition coil only. The rest they won't pay because the other fault which is Valve Stem Seals are not covered under Differentail of the Mechanical Warranty and neither are they covered under Engine Components. The valve stem seals can only be due to wear amd tear according to them and nothing else. For a vehicle 84 000 km with full service history and with R1653 I pa OUTsurance a month, I'm done with them. Never ever insurance your vehicle for mechanical warranty with outsurance. It's a ****. I'll take this to Ombudsman further.

Valve stem seals and gasket not covered. Also outsirance told me they will not be paying for R1000 strip and quote that I'm covered for when I asked about it. Just R600 for the ignition coil. Where the remainder which is R1100 will be covered by me as excess. The rest of the R8400 claim they don't cover.

It's funny how you reply privately to a public matter. Your so called technical special list called me to tell me he agrees with me that valves and gasket should be claimed under Engine component which im covered for up to R60 000 but be that as it may, you can discret that they are part of maintenance and not pay. How pathetic is this. I will take the R694 you are paying me for Ignition coil and leave the R7824 you refuse to pay for Valve stem and tapet gasket. But that's it. I'm out.

What is also very funny is how you Outsurance will not put into writing the claim rejection. I made 3 calls asking for claim rejection and claim status formal letter and you do not issue it. You prefer to give mechanical warranty claim status and details only telephonically. Which is rather very odd.

Good day Ov K,

Further to our private response, we can confirm that John our claims manager contacted you to discuss the matter in detail.

John advised you that the seals and gasket are wear & tear and maintenance parts. John further advised you that we only cover for parts that are listed under the warranty cover. Please note that this policy is not meant to be a maintenance or service plan. - motorwarranty.pdf (outsurance.co.za)

We do apologise for the disappointment.

Regards,
The OUTsurance Team
