Refusing to give authorisation to change leaking coolant pump

This company is ridiculous. They don’t want to give authorisation to change coolant pump that is listed as a part that they cover in their policy. The dealer has sent them pictures indicating a coolant leak coming from the pump and they insist that the pump be removed from the car so that they can see a leak which is visible on the picture that was sent to them.

I’m no car fundi, but how are you going to tell when the pump is off the car that it is leaking, and who is going to pay for the labour when you decide that you not paying for the coolant pump. You guys are just ridiculous and wouldn’t advise people to take an extended warranty with these ********s.

 Good day Mr Zungu  We note the concerns made on the claim submitted.  We had, on several occasions, requested for the part to be removed to confirm the leak, as it is a requirement under the policy to validate the claim.  We can only review the claim once all the required documentation has been received and the evidence required.  We contacted the workshop foreman at the repair center and confirmed what is required, the details were supp**** to us on 15/03/2024. The authorization was sent to the repairer and yourself on 15/03/2024. We also tried to contact you on the same day the authorization was sent to explain our reasoning for the removal of the failed component.  After our telephone discussion today, you are happy that the matter has been resolved and that authorization was sent through once the accurate report was received.  We will proceed to finalize the claim once the repairs have been completed and the final invoice and signed authorization sheet have been submitted. 

 Yours Sincerely,PinnAfrica Directors
