Sick and tired of *********** 3rd party providers

Please note that this is not a complaint about the service consultant on OUTsurance's side. This is the second claim on my car regarding glass. Both times I've been having a terrible experience.

The previous time was handled by Glasfit (claim ********** 57). They had to order my windshield from Japan and said it would be a five week wait. I patiently waited only for them to order the incorrect windshield, they then magically found the right windshield within the same day, so starting to think that the wait wasn't necessary and they didn't order properly using my VIN.

Regarding my current claim, I had my rear cargo area window smashed while parked at work (5th of July). On the 6th I was contact by OUTsurance and told it usually take between 24 and 48 hours to get a replacement. I also received a call from PG Glass on this day stating that there was stock in JHB and it would take 3 days to get it to Cape Town. I set aside time from work to be available on the Wednesday for the replacement. No word from PG Glass. I phoned them and they said it had not arrived yet. This morning I get a call and they say the glass will only be arriving on Monday and that they can only do the replacement on Tuesday. Considering this is my only vehicle to get to work I've had to make lots of plans so that my car isn't standing in the street with a broken window.

I'm seriously considering moving my insurance to a company that uses competent 3rd party providers for things like this. As I get sub par replacement service, a list of excuses and every time my policy just gets rerated.

Hello csrsabie

You have our sincere apologies for the huge delay and lack of feedback!

Prinella contacted you after she communicated with the service provider. She will provide you with feedback as soon as possible.

Hi Thanks to Prinella for handling this with professionalism and my problem is still with the 3rd party provider. My problem is still the lack of communication from PG Glass. Last week I was told the glass would be in Cape Town on Monday. I was informed by OUTsurance this morning that it will only arrive today. I understand if there is issues with getting it, but I'm sure it doesn't take nearly two weeks to get glass from Johannesburg to Cape Town. I stayed at home today hoping that they would be able to replace it today, but seems it won't happen. I'm hoping the PG Glass will make good on their part and contact me with a proper estimate of when it will be replaced. I can't park my car on the street with a broken window, and I can't constantly stay away from work hoping they will actually install when they keep telling me they will.

The provider has scheduled a time for tomorrow. Atleast I'll be able to use my car again after this. Thanks for everyone at OUTsurance for doing their job, wish your 3rd party providers cared to communicate with your customers the way your staff does.
