All,

Thought i would give my 2 cents worth.

I am with just cars with 60%NCB full comp 24yo for just under 2k and covered with all mods.

Dont know why i got a 60% NCB as i was only insured with them 3rd party on a VLT 1 year before i got my Line.

cheers,

cheers to mrbenno for posting up about the places he called. i normally dont check this area but am glad i did.

Called up vigils and the premium is like $30 more than i was paying with Just Cars however my excess has come from $2000 down to $1000 so i figured i had may as well change. So i am much happier now well i will be if i have an accident anyways :D other good thing was the agreed value, free 24x7 road side assistance and all my mods are covered (Note they must be legal).

One other thing is anyone actually insured by Vigil i wouldnt mind hearing some feedback. The customer service seems good the 24x7 road side assistance is a bonus only downside was having to wait on phone for a good 10 minutes but i guess thats a good sign they are busy ;)

mrbenno, I think I spoke to you today. It's Matt, I work for Shannons :D

PM me if you need any more assistance, happy to help!

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your call, I have not received anything in the mail from Vigil so I will most likely be insuring through Shannon's some time this week. The service from Shannon's has been good so far, less on hold times then with Vigil and you actually send out paperwork for insurance, I have recieved no paperwork and no phone calls from Vigil regarding my apparent insurance cover.

I just spent the last 15 mins on hold and finally got through to Vigil, they are resending my insurance paperwork now, damn postal service!

If I do not receive my papers by friday then I will be calling you back, thanks Matt.

In regards to a previous posted question, Vigil charge no extra to pay by the month.

I found the same i was on hold for a good 10 minutes or so each time i called them. However they did call me back when i first requested a quote within about 4 business hours which i thought was good.

Also i was told it does cost extra to pay by the month maybe just double check that

It's sort of hard to say as I guess anything that is not engineered is probably illegal however I think they mean obvious type things eg lowered more than 10cm from the ground, exhaust note more than 100db's or whatever it is... as I said most things probably are however I guess in most cases common sense should tell you if its illegal or not

Hey guys,

Does anyone know what insurance companies classify as illegal mods???

Will this cancel your insurance if they are on the vehicle??

thanks guys :)

its not up to an insurance company to tell you if your mods are illegal, thats up to the owner of the vehicle to decide etc etc.

Working for Shannons, I can tell you that we will list all your mods on the policy and do state in our policy wording that we will cover all legal modifications.

If you have illegal modifications fitted to your car, and your have an accident/make a claim, as long as the 'illegal' modification was not the direct cause or reason for the claim, then you will be paid out etc etc.

We have many highly modified imports with us, including a few from SAU too :)

Got a quote from Shannons insurance & spoke to _8OO5TED_ (Matt- Fantastic bloke). They are definately the best for me. Just over $1600 per year for my modified R32GTR with an agreed value of $29k. Pay by the month with all the mods listed. Cant thank Shannons & Matt enough!!!. :starwars:

    • I clean my wheels every time I wash the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash and a pressure washer, followed by (inset your chosen name brand) wash and wax, time per wheel is probably 2 minutes total, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, they're also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
