| 1402106 | 2015-06-06 04:10:00 | As previously mentioned, my lawnmower was stolen in the second burglary at my house. It was actually my g/f's machine on loan to me. Well, she made a claim for the loss through her insurance broker, and lo-and-behold, they accepted the claim, despite the fact it wasn't even on her property at the time! But wait... there's more!!! They not only covered her the loss of the 2nd hand mower which she'd bought years ago for only $300, they purchased on her behalf an almost $900 worth brand new top-of-the range machine from a local dealer who imported it from Australia! It's a shiny 175cc Rover mulch mower with a seriously sophisticalis Kohler engine! This machine is a thing of beauty and I'm blimmin reluctant to even use it for fear of making it dirty! | Greg (193) | ||

Rover along with Lawnmaster (Made in Parmy N) very good bodies and hopefully they aren't made in Communist China yet. | prefect (6291) | ||

| 1402110 | 2015-06-06 19:58:00 | @ prefect - that's good to know. The engine itself was built in USA, under license from Germany, and the rest I think is made in China. The whole thing was then assembled and sold via Australia. This info is just to the best of my knowledge. @ Cicero - the quiet motor would be a bonus... This Kohler boasts to be quiet but isn't. Mind you, that's pretty subjective. @ Lurks - she uses a broker (Crombie & Lockwood) so I can't say for sure which insurance company was used. I'll endeavour to find out. But they must be good, because recently they also approved a claim to have her pool filter unit replaced (value at $1400 incl labour)... all she had to do was prove that it was uneconomical to repair. The former was under her home contents cover, excess $100, and the latter under her house cover, excess $400. |

| 1402111 | 2015-06-06 22:23:00 | Crombie Lockwood have been around for yonks and are highly respected in the Insurance industry. It isn't the prerogative for the Broker to approve claims, the onus is on the Insurance Company to approve but do take into consideration any story put up by the Broker. | Bryan (147) | ||

Have been with SIS now AA for a long time and they were good to us pensioners', always a small excess, otherwise very good company. Don't know what AA will be like, only hoping they will be as good as SIS. lurking. |
