my thoughts on.... why Geico sucks....

so not too long ago, we switched insurance carriers because our current one was just too damned expensive and with our driving records we knew we could get a better deal.... we started shopping around and found that Geico was the lowest cost we could find and figured, "what the hell?"....

fast forward several months down the road.... i get in an accident with 2 parked cars in a Target parking lot.... and was stupid and drove off.... the damage was minimal and after going to court i was only charged with 'driving too fast for conditions', got 1 point on my license and had to pay $100.... no big deal, right....?

a little backstory.... Amy and i are both very safe drivers.... i have no accidents or tickets for nearly a decade.... the same goes for Amy.... we're the ideal customers for an insurance company.... low risk and we had a perfect payment history with our last company.... never missed a single payment....

back to the present.... we call Geico to get duplicate insurance cards mailed out since we were due for renewal.... and come to find out that they dropped us because of what happened to me with the accidents.... so i guess that always paying and having a stellar history just isn't enough for them.... so we've switched again and are paying $10 more for our policy and have had no problems so far....

i ask you to reconsider your policy, if you're with Geico.... i'm still in shock over what happened and would love to find out what the hell they were thinking.... or if it's just their general policy to be asses.... either way.... Geico can kiss my white hairy ass....

  1. And here's the biggest thing... GEICO CAN REPAIR YOUR CAR WITH AFTERMARKET PARTS!!! The accident we just got in, Geico's estimate was $10,800. State Farm, who is fixing our car, estimated over $15,100. I'm glad that since my car was nearly totalled that they are at least fixing it with genuine Nissan parts. And to say nothing of the way Geico (the at fault party's insurance) is handling the claim. Lets just say that I will never support them by giving them business.
