GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Could be somethin’ minor you could ignore. Tell ‘em you’re Certifiable.

 

I love USAA. I probably pay slightly more for insurance, but between banking and that I think I've only ever been on the phone for like thirty minutes and most things I can do through chat. I'm leaning towards it being a check for the warranty, but I'm thrown off by it being so quick and the fact I figured they'd just put it toward the balance.

 

Honestly I'm not sure when GA switched to paperless titles, or if its MY/vehicle specific (which I doubt). We paid off my wifes MY16 Subaru in early 2018 with USAA and recieved a paper title. Whereas my MY17 Tacoma was paid off mid 2019 and I got the paperless title notification. That loan was through Delta Credit Union but I wouldn't think the lending agency would make any difference.

Not likely with USAA. In my experience, they are a ray of sunshine in the shitfest of insurance agencies. I couldn't be more pleased with every interaction and dealings I've had with them and their employees.

 

I'm in Athens area too now, and haven't had much luck finding anything open to the public. In college we used to go to a place off 441 somewhere but for the life of me I can't remember where. If you find anything definitely let me know.

 

Welp I just returned my (unopened) Pop N Lock and ordered the OEM... it’s $40 more but it’s plug and play, Toyota quality, and I read it’s way quieter. Promo MATCH at parts.toyota.com

 

My experience with Allstate was the complete opposite. Lied about coverage, then when i actually needed it they played games, admitted they lied on record, but no shits given about the little guy. Allstate nor state insurance commissioner cared that I had the agent admitting they led me wrong... And i paid. Not that I'm surprised. At the time it didn't seem worth it for a lawyer but I should've went that route.

What they lied about was i asked when the truck was still stock... Is there additional coverage i can buy for aftermarket stuff. They said only riders you can purchase is for stereo, anything else is covered and depreciated, keep receipts and it's covered. I asked more than once over the next year's as i added crap, giving examples and costs. usually when i was in to change address or update something since it was right by the house.

It could've been worse so that's the silver lining. But could have paid for another 2nd gen by now in what was lost.

 

I vote for option 6.

In all seriousness, I love USAA from a customer service standpoint, but not a cost perspective. I've been with them since I turned 16 and started getting out from under my parents. They are phenomenal and will own up to their mistakes. That said, we recently switched to another company because of the cost. I'm saving over $1k a year by switching away from them for home and auto. We went with another big name company and so far having a local agent to talk to has been pretty nice. I'm not regretting the decision to switch yet.

 

In the end, they are there to make money not help you out. When you file a claim, that's when you'll find out if it was worth it. Sometimes you'll win, sometimes you'll lose... Best bet is just donate to them for life and hope you never need to file a claim.

I had a mountain bike stolen out of my locked bike rack in 5 minutes of going inside, and that claim went good with my renter's policy. But then they dropped the ball the next time.

 

FWIW I bought my Supra 2 years ago this May and have had the title in hand ever since. But it wasn't thru a dealer and was bought from out of state so that's probably why

 

Yeah...hope I never have to use it and find out. And if I do, I hope the $1k+ per year that I'm saving isn't lost.

In fairness I tried to work with USAA to lower my premium and tried to get them to price compare (not even necessarily match). They told me that due to recent hurricane activity, FL and GA were considered high loss states. In order to continue offering protection, they had to hike the rates in these states.

As for the title topic, when we moved here last year, I got a paper title when I registered my truck. That was back in January 2019.

 

7) Wet fart

Uninsured/underinsured now basically has a $250 deductible in Georgia.

 

Who is interested in a US off road bumper? There is potential for a group buy. If we can get 10 confirms it will be $475 shipped. It's normally $525 plus $60 to ship to GA. PM me and if we get enough interest, we can start the group buy!
Group Buy - Tacoma Winch Mounts!

 

I don't need one, but just a hands on review that it's a great product, fits great, install was easy and it stands up to use. Mounted a 10k winch in there and it had a TON of use both winch and the shackle mounts. And that price is a great deal.

 

same for you, need to you go to all most post today in all the treads ive been in posting this group buy and post this haha.

 

are you drinking already?

 

Just quote it all those places. Dalton Highway approved.

Heading over to Talladega national Forest for the weekend with a buddy. First time over in Talladega national Forest. Looking forward to getting out of Central Georgia for a few days and do some wheeling and camping.

 

Be sure to report back on how it went! Curious how the conditions look after weeks of record-setting rainfall...

 

Does it make the fat lip more pronounced in the front like the factory plastic deal that Toyota somehow modeled after Bubba from Forrest Gump?
