Missouri has allowed Allied to write for an endorsement waiver. I am not sure if others write for it, I haven't came across any. It varies with the age of the vehicle on my policies.

Not everyone thinks a/m parts are the cat's meow.
All you insurance company personnel reading this, and there are a boatload of you out there, please give this some thought. Peerless insurance, Hanover, Liberty Mutual, Nationwide, Progressive, you know who you are, how can you find the ####s to write aftermarket parts that are not CAPA certified? You know *&^n well that they aren’t certified for a reason. They do not meet the basic requirements to become certified, yet you ######### still write them. And when I call you folks to point out that these parts are not certified you explain that your company doesn’t use CAPA guidelines. If it’s available aftermarket, you have to write it and that is all you’ll pay for. Are you frigging kidding me? Are you ####ns or do you think everyone else is a #####n?

Actually he/she doesn't say that AT ALL...in fact seems fine w/capa certified a/m parts..
Yeah, well let me go on the record yet again, and say,
how can you find the ####s to write aftermarket parts that are not CAPA certified?
NEVER, EVER, EVER in my ENTIRE career of OVER 20 years have I EVER written an a/m party that was not capa certified, NEVER EVER..and frankly I don't know too many carriers, that will allow non-capa to be used period, including two of the companys this genius listed..I can ''gaur-ran-damn-t ya' that 'for sure' a min. of two of those companys I am certain do not allow ANY non-capa parts....Genius, should let these companys, corp. claims gurus know that their adjusters (if true) are breaking their own rules and guidelines (i doubt it)...
you explain that your company doesn’t use CAPA guidelines.
either the writer of this is a liar, embellisher or ever single adjuster he 'calls out'' on non-capa, (again) has no idea of their own company guide lines... :roll: wonder which one it is? hmmmmmmmm? Seriously if he's your buddy Mike, tell him to pull all of these sheets, with non-capa certified a/m parts, and call the home office of the bigger well known names on that list...bet there will be some cars brought back into the shop and those (non-capa) parts replaced...(and yes I have seen it happen if 'one' got thru... :roll: I'll tell the storys if you want...just let me know..I have seen a total of three and the correction .... the owners had no idea until we (ins company) called them)....

I personally had an allied (which is Nationwide) claim for a first party insured where the adjuster tried to use an a/m non certified hood and radiator support and rebar on a 2007 buick rendenvous. I was informed by the Allied appraiser he could figure a/m non certified and they would warrant it. The owner when advised by me and informed of non capa certification, challenged them and won that argument. It wasn't even out of warranty at the time. The rebar and and radiator support were high strength steel and the a/m wasn't. The adjuster was dumb enough to try to convince me that the heavier a/m part would compensate for the difference in not being hss.

Well that adjusters an idiot..I will tell you that the company i work for will not use non-capa parts, and further more, FORBID ANY a/m (capa or not) structure pieces...(core support/rebar etc)....
