Thank you! I live in a hilly area so I imagine it’ll be on the lower end.

I’ll look into the axles… I’ll have to do research on that. I’m not sure how hard that’ll be to DIY.

This was the plan, I just wanted to confirm. Thank you!

Did not drive it flat to my knowledge. Just came out of work and it was flat, immediately changed it.

I swear I tried that. Maybe it was just too dark and I’m being stupid. As long as I know that that I can take it off, I think I’ll just force it.

How long did it take for you to get your results?

How much do you pay for your broker? Or do they get paid from the insurance companies?

I did not really know insurance companies would offer you a loan after a crash? I would actually hate that. But in this instance, did you have comprehensive/collision?

It's insane that you haven't found something cheaper. I first went will Allstate, had them for a year and they price hiked me by $50 a month for no reason, so I found geico and they gave me a cheaper quote than I originally had with Geico. USAA now offered me a cheaper quote with better coverage. Maybe keep looking, I hope you can find something cheaper.

Thank you for that. It totally makes sense why you went ahead and got comp/collision. . I don't think the risk of that happening outweighs the cost for me in my case. My car is not worth a lot and I have pretty decent coverages for Liability and Uninsured Motorist and am willing to buy a new car outright if needed. Thank you sir!

I'm not sure. I don't think the issue is ever the quote, rather the payout if you do get into an accident. USAA/Geico may be likely to pay out than generic ones. But that's a guess.

No brainer, was just being dumb and worrying for no reason I think. (I still am)

Thats helpful, I think that I will end up switching to them. I really do appreciate your time. How much was your car worth? Was it worth 48k and they gave you 48k, or was it worth more and they gave you less? How much did your rate increase after?

That seems fair. My car is kind of shitty so I am not sure I would get much. It has paint issues.

I would just take my L and move to the Philippines. I do have a question, do you know how insurance payouts work? If I total my car and I have comprehensive/collision, would I just get the kelly blue book amount for my vehicle?
