    Default SCREW GEICO!!!!

    Well i got a call this morning and was informed by geico that due to the fact that i have too many mods on my car they are no longer going to be able to cover my car. They said the same thing about my jeep due to the lift and other items on it. They found out about the mods because i took the car to the paint shop to get it wet sanded before i put it away for the winter i am guessing that is how they found out, they all of a sudden said that my car has over 15k in mods (I guess they valued the paint really high) so they can not cover it. i am not sure how they came up with this figure but not sure what to do now!! They said that if i were to wreck my car and i did not tell them about the mods they would not cover any bit of the damages. HELP!!

    that my freind is how they will kill the car hobby. soon all insurance companys will no longer cover modified cars and trucks. you will have to go to specialty insurance companys.

    I am looking around for diffrent places. I have never had a wreck and never had a ticket so that is good. But still can not find a decent price on insurance. Hell i know that i am not going to get my money back for my mods if i crash. They will just cut me a check for like 5 grand tell me that is what it is worth and they will tell me they can not cover anythig but stock parts. I am find with that but why is it that they use the excuse that i have too much done to my car for them to cover me. What i want to know is how they know about the mods on my car. I never told them i had anythign done, They know everything.

    That really sucks, it's going to start to be where you have to have special insurance for our rides, like those antique deals. Hope you find someone else soon.

    I have USAA, and have had no problems with them. You can only get their coverage if you or a family member is in the military or have just got out in a certain time frame. Had State Farm before and dropped them when they started making us bring our cars to them so they could look at them before they covered it.

    Thanks Crimsonblack

    Thanks to Nicoleb3x3 for this one.

    Maybe your insurance adjuster is on Got Stang lol That would explain the knowledge of your mods.

    or maybe a rep saw the gotstang decal on your car and then saw your web site.

    I have INA Insurance and am covered for $30,000 on my Mach and only pay $ 722.24 a year. They classify the Mach as a Limited Edition Stang. I have some aftermarket coverage but not sure how much exactly. But it also isn't a daily driver, I use it mostly for Shows.

    INA = Insurance Group of North America also they are ACE insurance if you want the phone # let me know, I'm not sure if they do Mass Production Stangs as Cobra's but wouldn't hurt to find out. They were the cheapest I could find. Since its not a Daily Driver, I didn't want to pay high premiums.

    I have All State for my trucks and Hagerty for the Roush. Hagerty goes by an agreed upon value, you just have to keep it in a garage, not use it as a daily driver.

    Allstate covers my car...but only book value

    once my 5.0 swap is done, I'm may need to change insurance companies- or check with allstate for a special policy to cover the actual value (well, money value anyway)
    I heard some insurance companies will consider an apprasial and insure your car based on this appraisal.

    more of problem for me, since my 93 2.3 is about $3k last I looked!!! Which doesn't cover it.. but my insurance is really cheap for now.

    Here's the number of my insurance co. 1-800-633-5553... not sure if they cover Cobra's though but won't hurt to find out. They are very reasonable.
