I get where you’re coming from—those “approved” shops are hit or miss, especially if your car isn’t fresh off the lot. I’ve had a couple situations wi...

Honestly, the way they break down those “periods” never made much sense to me either. I remember thinking I was good to go just because I had the app ...

Accident forgiveness is one of those things I debated for a while. I added it when my son started driving, just for peace of mind, but honestly, the p...

Honestly, I’ve had to weigh this exact thing every renewal. I’d love to save on premiums, but last year I actually needed a tow after a fender bender ...

I’ve noticed the same thing—sometimes adjusters seem to care about documentation, sometimes not. Keeping receipts and photos is just good sense, thoug...
