I also use State Farm. I had my entire Mustang repainted due to some idiot on the highway spilling rocks all over the place at highway speeds.
It was a $7500 no questions asked claim. I also like dealing with an agent, not some operator on the other end of the phone.
Did your rates go up because of that claim?, since it was not an accident per-se and you were not at any fault I was wondering if SF jacked up your rates upon renewal.
