Havent had to use them but once, but my State Farm was pretty badass. I had a check like 3 days after the Prelude got totalled. Even after I told them that the wreck was not my fault. They sent it out “just in case” something got hung up so that would have immediate access to it.

I was hit 2 times in my altima. One guy had nationwide and the other had state farm, the accidents were not my fault. Both times the car was taken back to bowser on 51 and both times new parts were used. I had to use my insurance from nationwide only a couple of times. one time I called and said a rock went thru my window, I had a check for the cost of a new window and installation in a few days without any further questions. I have no problems with them.

The guys at bowser did say that if you are going to get hit by someone, make sure they have state farm because they are the easiest to deal with.

We have been really happy with Nationwide. We have never had an accident (knock on wood) or any other type of claim, but we do have an actual agent that we deal with whenever we have questions or want to change coverages. It is nice to have a local representative that we can call or email who actually remembers us and is always willing to help.

i pay 180 a month for a gsr integra ( which is supposively suppose to be rated high for insurance, and a 02 trailblazer with 22’s… which also covers theft if the rims were stolen… and my fiance got in an accident last yr that totaled out to be a 45,000 dollar claim when it was all said and done…GIECO!
