Terrible experience.

Always a Painful time consuming experience. They also have never ready their own policies because they kept challenging me and requested for a videos and denied my claim. After I educated them that pictures are what is actually required as per their policy and SLA, they were shocked and then obliged. Imagine the agents who work for them dont even know what is required and invent requirements. I have escalated and involved management. The delays are usually blamed on : IT delays, short staff compliment as everyone is getting sick, or not receiving emails. Paint and Rim/Tyre policies... both poor service levels. I only get a response after making many costly phone calls.

The dealerships sell you these policies and brag about the service... but its really bad.

Reviewer Update
To Whom it may concern:
The investigation carried out was incorrect and after numerous changes were done.... including the repair centre's staff having to call Smart UMA and explain things to them, I received an authorization.

In all seriousness, I dont think the consultants or people carrying out the investigation actually understand fully what went wrong which is why things have been so time consuming yet delayed.
More time was spent trying to correct the errors, only for new errors to be made.

I'm unsure what the solution is but in my opinion, its a serious concern.
