I have to say this is a far cry from another insurer I had last year for my other ride that totally pissed me off. No assistance and best part - no lawyers .... Tell me I fight my own case and hire my own lawyers at my cost (same type of incident - my ride stationary and got hit from behind). And this insurer's authorised WS - all never heard before.

AXA is the worst! Last time car kana langga they sent me to some lao pok workshop at Portsdown and then disputed my claims for 2 years which affected my subsequent premiums. And courtesy car was only provided for limited period even though car was in workshop for 6 weeks! Ptui to them!

Is Sime insurance broker unpopular? I've been using them for all the family BMWs. When renewal time comes by, they automatically send quote for insurers which includes AD workshops. and price is lower than what i get from other agents. I'm also a bit lazy to go get quotes on my own, so its useful to me.

After that I took off went back and called Aviva. Damn solid .... They got a Mars guy to come down and help make report. Then after that email me the report at 12.32am today so I can go to their authorised WS tomorrow - which was Munich.

suggest you be careful with MA if you're driving a non-M car. take photos and check your car when you send in and check for damage afterwards. Had rather bad experiences with them. When everything goes smooth, any workshop is great. But when things go wrong, you realize whether the premium you paid is really worth it.

And technically speaking, MA seems less proficient with some of the non-M cars. Had their staff quote me wrong parts and services. If i listened to them, i'd end up paying much more than i needed. In the end, PML saved me and gave me proper advice for the car model in question.

If its just body work, i guess MA is fine. just check for damage post repair. Cos when that happens, good luck finding someone there to resolve it. I used to think PML was lacking. till i met MA. IMHO, PML has improved a lot lately - just make sure you stick to a CSA you can trust.
