SHOCKING.... SECOND HAND PARTS TO BE FITTED ON MY VEHICLE ????

If you ask me this morning who is the best insurance in SA.... I would say without a doubt "OUTSURANCE" I belief in you guys, I trusted you guys, I would have moved to no other insurance company ever !!!

Ask me now a view hours later.... I had the biggest shock of my life... after paying you guys for more than 4 years... no claims at all, this morning I must hear that for my first claim the panel beaters must look for a second hand part ??????????????

What nonsense is this... who give you the right to put second hand parts on our vehicles ????

I paid you every month, from my previous car and not once did I skip a payment, for a view years and this is the service I'm getting from an professional company... SECOND HAND PARTS !!!!????

Do I trust you now ? NO !!!!! Do I still belief in you ? NO !!!!! Will I recommend you to other people ? NO !!!!! Will I change to another company ? YES !!!!!

WILL I TELL EVERYONE THAT I KNOW ? YES !!!!!

I still cannot believe that you would consider to put second hand parts on our cars... it is like a bad dream... SHOCKKING !!!!!

Thank you for you UNPROFESIONAL client service !!!!!!!

Good day Rudi,

We fully understand your concern and frustration.

The Ombudsman for Short Term Insurance has given approval for all insurers to use 2nd hand or after market parts on vehicles out of the warranty period. This excludes safety parts and the vehicle needs to be repaired to specifications.

Ronald our claims manager has been in contact with you to address your concerns. The matter was discussed in detail with you and based on your profile we have made a decision to use a new OEM part.

Regards,
OUTsurance

Thank you to Ronald and Merriam Monnakgotla of the claims team of Outsurance, they went the extra mile to sort out the problem.

I just think that Outsurance must send out a letter to all there clients to educate and bring it under there clients attention that the Ombutsman approved that second hand parts may be used to fix there cars.
We as clients are going to jump on our horses if we hear they going to use secondhand parts.

On the end of the day the whole problem was caused because there were NO communication about the ruling of the Ombutsman that second hand parts maybe used.

Thank you again for restoring my faith in Outsurance !
