in short they are not a GOOD neighbor
State Farm refused to cover this Florida man’s repairs on his Porsche — why the courts are now involved!
When Assaf Sasson’s 2022 all-electric Porsche Taycan was damaged in a crash, he was prepared to pay his $500 insurance deductible to get it fixed.
Sasson, however — who had a policy for his $100,000 vehicle through State Farm — wasn’t prepared to foot the entire $8,360.87 repair bill on his own.
But that’s exactly what ended up happening to the Fort Lauderdale man after his claim was reviewed by the insurer.
When he brought it to Porsche, he was told if he didn’t get the repairs done through one of their approved certified facilities, the warranty on his $100,000 car would be voided.
That seemed fairly simple, but State Farm took issue with how much that would cost. According to their own estimates, the total should have been closer to $6,267.03.
Sasson opted to pay out of pocket to get the repairs done right. But the experience didn’t sit right with him.
“I’m not paying cheap insurance,” Sasson told WPLG Local 10. “I’m paying very high insurance. And I have insurance with State Farm — which is a strong insurance company.”

I used to have all three of my cars insured through State Farm. Eventually, I discovered that I was paying double what other companies would have charged. Moreover, when an uninsured driver hit me, totalling my car and breaking my neck, I had to sue State Farm, and it took six years to collect.

I have State Farm and when my car was wrecked. It was side swiped. We took it to a repair shop that state farm wanted the estimate because they don't have adjusters that come out and look at your car. They would not pay for my car to be fixed. They totaled the car saying the parts and labor were to much. Mind you that the side was messed up but you could still drive it. They would not pay the full amount of the payoff and the They refused to pay. We had good insurance with them. We should have known since we took the car to three shops to get estimates. The shops said State Farm is the WORST insurance to deal with because they don't want to pay.

If you have State Farm Insurance...get rid of them ASAP. I am in the car business, and my opinion of them is that repair as cheaply as possible. Many times, not caring about manufacturer's recommendations.
