Outsurance, they used Pirate Parts

Well at least they did not reject the claim, BUT!, resulting from a freeway freak accident with a lose fly wheel, my cat went in for mechanical suspension and front repairs, what now after closer inspection when checking my cars fluids and replacing the fan belt which they did not do and a few months back my car was in for its service, all the parts replace are pirate part, so I'm driving a pirate car, one would expect the parts to be replace with original parts, not satifactory at all, what the F@@K am i paying for??

Good morning Quintus,

We acknowledge receipt of your complaint

The Ombudsman for Short-Term Insurance has confirmed that insurers may use second-hand or alternative (non-original) parts when repairing vehicles that are no longer under factory warranty. This applies to non-safety-related components.

Safety-critical parts are excluded
from this allowance.

All repairs must still meet the manufacturer’s specifications to ensure quality and safety standards are upheld.

Our claims manager will contact you to discuss your concerns,

Regards,
The OUTsurance Team

No Reply or communication received, i phone and line was hung up, this is about the inner bumper cradle, that was not repaired from the flying wheel, tyre and rim. not a stripped headlight bolt as per the email I received from the panel beaters shop
