Read the Fineprint !!!!!!!!!!
Posted by editor
In a recent post, we discussed the probability of car modification as a ground for the default of your auto insurance which is a reality. But do you know that even the simplest of modification or improvement that may have changed the status of your car from the factory may have the same effect. Take the craze for fuel saving gizmos and gadgets that have victimized people and resulted in many a burned cars. The simple addition of these bolt-on devices have in fact violated their car warranty and insurance policies at the same time. Many insurers will and do conduct their independent investigation regarding accidents and similar instances and if they find any non-stock additions to a vehicle, they have the right to deny coverage.
This is included in the fine print of your contract so do contact the insurance firm for clarifications should you consider getting any upgrades or modifications installed. This would save you time and spare you the inconvenience of getting the cold shoulder from them should you need their assistance in the future (hopefully not in the too near future).
