They are a Associate of AAMI and Work Like AAMI too!

Just Cars policy statement:

Just Car is authorised by AAMI to arrange for the
services we offer issue, variation and disposal of Just Car insurance
policies. We are also authorised to deal with and
settle claims on AAMI’s behalf. Just Car does not
receive any remuneration or commission from AAMI
for the services it offers.
When your car is damaged, we will arrange the repair work for you and choose
the repairer who will do the work.
We ordinarily require two independent competitive quotes from repairers we
recommend. If you choose, you can provide one of the quotes from a repairer
you select. Our assessor will review the quotes, including any quote from a
repairer you select, and what is necessary to properly repair your car. We will
choose the repairer who has submitted the more competitive and complete
quote and that will be the repairer who repairs your car.

Just Cars policy is tailored to under 25's, or people with a less than stellar driving history. I was insured with them in my younger years and never had a problem with them.

Have you tried Shannons? They have stricter underwriting guidelines, and you need to meet their criteria, but they do low usage policies and have lower excesses. They also do montly premiums for free.

Ive been insured with them for a few years now, and made 2 claims. Never had a drama.

I had an at fault accident about 4 years ago, I took my car where I wanted it to go. Shannons sent an assessor and there were no problems.

I got rear ended 2 years ago. Shannons was ready to pay me out within a week. I ended up claiming through the other persons insurance, and it took 6 weeks to get my payout.

Just Car does not receive any remuneration or commission from AAMI for the services it offers.

They use their assessor centers etc (like I said, they are owned by the same company) and preferred repairers etc. They are not the same company.
Its like coles and bunnings- Both owned by Wesfarmers, but run as their own independent business.
I have detailed knowledge of this, but cannot go into the hows ;)

Hi mate, Cheers for the speedy reply!

It's their preferred repairs I'm frightened of, I was also rear ended, I had a beautiful Blue TRD Aurion, AAMI’s repairer never blended the colour correct. In the sun light it looked like a frenzy,. Including primer visible. I had it resprayed 3 times, on the 3rd occasion they left over spray on the rear quarters and denied it, the assessor also stated "it shows no spray on the sides from the repairer so it must have been there before"

cost me $800 to have it resprayed privately.

My wife was involved in 2 accidents a rear end from a truck and.. A moron driving in the LHL roundabout to exit the 3rd exit. Her car still has issues…

From what I understand AAMI and Just Cars let you take the vehicle to any repairer of your choice. HOWEVER and that’s a big however, they will not provide updates nor liaise with the repairer, that’s 100% up to you for nominating your own repairer. Any dramas will not be addresses via AAM between the two

I just called RAA and their willing to ensure me, they also have a “freedom of choice, freedom of my own repairer”

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
