Does anyone have any experience working with Safeco? What were the pros and cons? I'd love to hear your thoughts. I'm most interested in how they treat their independent agents, but I'd appreciate anything you can add.
Thanks!

Were did you get that they didn't wand to steer me??
Because you said they wouldn't tell you the shop...that's where I got that...you didn't say in your orginal post that it (sounds like) that 'consierge' (spell ck not workin :evil: )....thing that progressive has....from your post it sounded like a 'regular' DRP....were it would go at first
so they did then finally tell you? or minimally give you a list of shops?I am real fussy with my car and I would want to be involved in the repair process to make sure everything is done right
don't blame you a bit...i would be as well....So you work for progressive??
now where did i say that? Because I could get the information maybe? I'm a DRP/physcial damage rep as such I might be able to talk with a 'like' kind adjuster and get this information...you have no objections if Mike posts a copy of the agreement here that you said you had no problem showing anyone but only if your bosses let you
Why would I have a problem with mike posting any and all of the drp contracts he says he has? I "KNOW'' what two of them say, and Mike is (again) 100% wrong, whether his 'misinformation' is intentional or just ignorance well that's something everyone will have to judge on their own....IMO it is minimally intentionally misleading....I cannot post any documents belonging to my employer on the web without consent of course...but I have provided them to insureds, if you'd provide (thru a pm if you'd like) your real name, city, and state, and reps name/number and I could ascertain that you truly had/have a claim with progressive, I'll contact them and see if I can get a copy of their DRP agreement.....for the area you are in.Posted: Thu Mar 27, 2008 05:55 am Post Subject: Wow!
Lori, one of a class of people who would always tell you the truth, and you called Mike everything that he is not. I hope someday you will see that.

Sorry Cascade Dave, we disagree... I think he throws outlandish half truths around without any proof to back them up and generalizes all carriers/adjusters as well pretty much money grubbing, swamp sucking scum...IMO

I get the impression that Mike "lives" in the gap between how adjusters are taught to write and pay an auto claim, and what the carriers will actually pay according to law. Do you agree Lori?

Well Dave, I'm not sure, because I'm not sure I understand what you mean....could you explain it a little better.Posted: Fri Mar 28, 2008 02:28 pm Post Subject: Well
What I mean to say is that I think what Mike's world is all about dealing with car owners who want to collect what they feel fully indemnifies them. Like if they went to court and a judge would say, a labor rate of a few dollars more per hour charged for a repair operation was fair and reasonable. You know, that sort of thing.

Lori, here is something you can decide if you think I am making an outlandish statement and a half truth.
"Progressive insurance has a goal of persuading (steering, strongarming,whatever it takes) at least 55 percent of their customers to utilize their drp shops and their adjusters and employees are expected to persuade 45 percent of their customers into their DRP networks."
On a side note.
Lori, you seem to have picked up some bad habits since my first posts. I am not sure if the sugar coated compassionate Lori, is the real Lori, or if the adjective slinging paraphrasing version is the real you. Or maybe posters that have the testicular fortitude to tell it like it really is irk you to the point of losing your temper. This name calling is so beneath your image. This forum is jading your perspective of the reality of the collision industry. You really need to visit some forums that do not mince words or sugar coat the truth now that you are in to the mudslinging style.
If you aren't afraid of making the same statements and accusations you have hurled at me, come over to the www.prodiscussions.com board and maybe you could convince all that post there that they are pond sucking scum.
