User reviews
I don't work for Allstate. Why do I have to download an app to get an adjuster. Is Allstate going to pay my shop to download this app.
Requiring service advisors to download an app to their personal phones in order to properly communicate that a vehicle needs to be towed to another shop is stupid. "The transfer case is moving, and it should be stationary. See transmission shop," should be enough to communicate that a car needs to go to a transmission shop; not a body shop. It should only require a simple phone call; not a face-to-face conversation on an app I never wanted to install. I'm not paid to be the customer's adjuster.
1st call: Answered then hung up after 20 seconds. 2nd call: Talked to person for 30 seconds before it hung up again. 3rd call: Spoke to gentleman who, after talking and reading my claim said he had to transfer me to someone else as he didn't have the classification to resolve my issue. 4th call (successful xfer): After 10 mins person said she couldn't help and gave me phone# of field inspector. Even if people on other end are competent, this app is infuriating!
