Any claim filed will always be on the records. The repair will impact your car’s resell value no matter which insurance company you have.

Love State Farm. It might not be the cheapest, but they’ve always been there for me with zero fighting when I needed them. Family has been using them for like 70 years.

Have you ever had to make a claim?

Yes, a couple of times. Never had a problem.

The ONLY thing I didn’t like is I once made an uninsured motorist claim when someone backed into my parked car in a DC garage while I was working. I discovered it when I came down to commute home. It resulted in about $2,500 in front-end damage to the light assembly and panels etc. There were absolutely no issues fixing it with State Farm, it’s just that five years later when I went to trade it in on a new car they told me the CarFax came back reporting the car having been in an “accident” and they lowballed the trade-in by … you guessed it! About $2,500!

Could have just been a sleazy car dealer but the “accident” notation was definitely on the CarFax. I guess technically it qualified but I don’t think this is what most people think when they hear “accident.” Most people would think of a collision where two cars were in motion at the same time.

Just back date the policy you cancel

That’s what I was told to do until the policy was issued. I’d figured it would just be a few days but it’s gone on.

I purchased a policy with them on the 15th of last month. A full policy still hasn’t been issued and I have a temporary policy. Is this normal for them? One agent said yes, the other told me not to cancel my old policy just yet.
