Sorry about your experience there joel. I really think the kicker is accidents. I have state farm and my ins. is only $57/month/car. That's including 4 speeding tix in 3 years (2 of them were bullshit, but i got em non the less...they were "speed care required"...prolly gave it to me cause I have a fartcan...w/e) and losing my licience for 3 months (prior to being 18 = only have 6 pts.)...I only have 1 pt. now. By saying that, i'm thinking that you got kicked bc of the accidents, nothing else. just my opinion though.

North Dakota state law, you can take your car to ANY autobody facility to repair your vehicle to your standards.Very true, but 85% of progressives claims they source out used parts all over ND and MN and go A/M if not used. When there paying for the repair the insurance company will usually get there way. I have had State Farm and Country and both are great for different reasons, and Im sure progressive is good for some people, but ive deffinetely seen them screw some over pretty badly. A/M and Used parts and not blending panels is how they make there money.

With my driving record progressive is the only insurance company that will insure me. My dad actually couldn't get insurance for awhile until I moved out of his house. Progressive did an awesome job with my WRX seriously can't tell it was wrecked as bad as it was and the only aftermarket part they were gonna buy was a radiator and i offered to pay the difference of 27$ and i got an oem.

If the shop specifies OEM in its quote and you have the same shop do the work that did the quote, the shop will get the amount specified in the quote, if the shop fails to utilize the parts listed in the original quote they need to get permission by means of a change-order from the insured otherwise they are in breach of their contractual obligations.

95% of parts used to fix vehicles are aftermarket. What exactly is wrong with using a fender off of a car that happens to be in a junkyard? its all sheet metal, hell sometimes its not even metal. whats the difference where the hunk of metal came from? Any other business would source out the cheaper product and in this case quality is not even a factor.

IMO, Progressive insurance company is a rip off in the end. I'm dealing with their bullshit right now. Only go through Progressive if you ABSOLUTELY have to. It's worth it in the long run to pay a little higher premium, so that you don't have to deal with Progressive's bullshit when it comes to them paying to fix your vehicle. Progressive WILL NOT pay for OEM body parts if they can save by paying for aftermarket parts. I even called up the state insurance commissioner and she said there's no law or anything she can do to get me OEM parts. So keep this in mind when choosing new insurance. If you ever do end up getting your car wrecked, it wont ever be the same unless you fork out the extra money to get the PROPER parts and have your car fixed the right way.
edit Progressive is good for people that are in a pinch like yourself though. They will probably be cheaper than most places, but it's up to you if it's worth it in the end.

i had that problem when I had american family insurance........they wanted to use used parts. Most insurance companies try to get buy as cheap as possible.

Every insurance company i have dealt with used used parts. The parts they would be replacing would have been used so why should brand new ones be bought? I wouldn't settle for aftermarket parts but whats the big deal of used oem parts?
-
I dont know, I think its pretty fair, I mean your car isn't brand new, its USED.
If you were spending your money on it, I'm fairly sure all of you would get an aftermarket bumper or an aftermarket fender, rather then blowing a shit load of money at the dealership for it...

some of you guys will put a worthless bombz muffler on your car but you will throw a fit over a fender that has not been boxed up by Honda?
what about a cf hood or aftermarket rims? I know all of you rock the $5 dollar knock off K & N air filters....
