Business profile not possible

I cannot complete the business profile so I cannot proceed with my customers claim. There is no Service type options to select from, it is a blank page. Not having this information halts the process

Great way to do claims

Easy to connect. Nice to speak to someone in person to discuss damages. Highly recommend

Can’t change information

My shop and contact information is from four shops ago. There is no method to change it. I have to waste time every time giving the adjuster the correct information.

"Connect you with an adjuster within 39 seconds.."

Here I am 40 minutes later with no adjuster, leaving this review. Seems to track with other experiences notated here.

Terrible app don’t use it!

Have severe hail damage on my car and they only gave me 500$ when my deductible is 1000$ to pull out 10+ hail dents and a broken windshield. Do not use this app for your inspection!
