Tons of experience with them, some good , some terrible. There used to only be a few companies around, now it seems as if there are a million of them . Some of the no name companies seem to rarely, if ever approve a claim without making me do more in diagnostic work than the whole job is worth.
They once made me tear down a subaru wrx motor with a rod hanging out the bottom of the block to determine the cause of failure. Lubey himself could not have diagnosed the failure mode, as it was all shrapnel by the time I saw it . This was all at the customers expense. I had to charge them almost as much in labor to remove and tear it down, as it would have cost them to just replace the damn motor with a junkyard motor which is all they ever do anyhow.
They are usually pretty easy on routine stuff, such as wheel bearings, calipers, water pumps , alternators etc, but it always seems to get funny on larger repairs
