    interesting... i have heard some good stuff and bad stuff about aami, but not being able to choose the choice of repairer is a big question mark for me. In Tasmania, there might be alot less repair places, so the standards are pretty even, but in Sydney there are some really dodgy repair places, and thats the problem with me, just dropping the car off at aami and just let them fix it doesn't sound very good to me...

    A few years back a car backed into me in a carpark, called nrma and they fixed everything for me, the very next day i went to nrma to get it inspected, which took 10-15 minutes, after that he said get it repaired with whoever you want, just quote the number. So i took it to the most expensive place and dropped the car off, picked the car up when it was ready, no paper work, no nothing.

    Since i'm considering Shannons, i hope they are something similar to that, as it is also choice of repairer, in my mind i think there will be more paperwork as the premium is alot cheaper, but offer the same deal as nrma...

    As for aami, their prices are similar to shannons at the moment, but as soon as i turn 25, prices drop more from shannons, and those 3 are the only ones that will insure me or that i'm considering.

    So either stick with nrma (which all my other stuff are with) or go to shannons and slowly move all my other cars/bikes across when the date is due.

    So i'm seeing if anyone has had a bad experience from shannons or know how their procedure works which might contain some flaws.

              I'm 28. Insurance on the S15 was horrid until I turned 25. First year was over $2k.

I was on hold for a good while (20 mins probably) when I originally called them but once I got through the service was excellent. They've taken everything on board and will be contacting the guy who hit the car. They've already booked me in on the 13th to drop the car off. They'll assess it at AAMI and will get it repaired from there. They'll taxi me to wherever I want to go after I've dropped it off.
                        Everything sorted now... car was away for 3.5 days and came back fine. Quality job done on the repairs and the car was spotlessly clean too. Stupidly managed to nip the curb with the rim after picking it up .... so annoyed. Need to research possibilities of polishing rims, or places who can repair them in Tassie...

                            I have just called around to get insurace costs for a 2006 GTI and these varied from $1100 to $2000 and I'm 29. I went with Shannons at $1150 as it will not increase when I add my APR stealth turbo back exhaust, stage 2 pod filter and get the APR Stage2 tune. The also do not charge and more to pay by the month which was great considering most places charge between $50 and $100 extra. Cant wait to pick this car up next week

                              I'm 24 turning 25, atm with RACV for $1,100 a yr thats with making 1 claim in last 5 yrs (damn melbourne hail storm) and nothing besides that, rating 1 protection always and i have a stock 2008 mk5 Golf GTI.

                              When I turn 25 might try someone else depending if I decide to start modding my car before new warranty runs out, atm i'm too cautious so just leaving the baby stock....
