AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!

1
Had an accident that wasn't my fault. Rang Aviva to get it booked in for repair and to get a courtesy van. Once the vehicle was "assessed" by O.M.C ford Oldham. (A guy in a suit walked round the vehicle without even lifting the bonnet) they deemed the vehicle safe for the road after the accident. I wasn't convinced and took it to my local mechanic to be assessed properly. Turns out my radiator was leaking and no water left in it. I rang my Aviva to let them know and they refused to deem the vehicle unsafe for use. They told me I would have to wait for 2 months for it to be repaired. After 6 hours on the phone being pushed round to different departments. They finally accepted it wasn't safe for the road and agreed to take it away within 48 hours. After more messing about with the hire vehicle it finally went in for repair. 3 days later my van has been repaired, picked the van up and drove it home to find out they have replaced the radiator but it was still leaking. By the time I got home the radiator was bone dry. I've now had to take it back again! I've made a complaint with Aviva after loosing 4 days wages with being messed about. All they could offer me was £150 compensation after I've lost £1000 in wages. Between Aviva, OMC ford Oldham and enterprise this has been the worst experience ever. I will not be renewing my business insurance with them. Reviewed on: 6th June 2022
