Club 4X4 Claims Review – Mick McMillan – Australian Expedition Vehicles

Australian Expedition Vehicles had a busy last month, on top of that we had a very serious engine failure during our recent testing. This was due to water in the diesel. No names about where it was purchased.

Australian Expedition Vehicles had a busy last month, on top of that we had a very serious engine failure during our recent testing. This was due to water in the diesel. No names about where it was purchased.

Suffice to say an expensive bill to replace the complete motor. I am insured by Club 4X4, who is one of the few insurers that cover water contamination in fuel. Today they advised that they have approved the claim and deposited the funds.

The reason I am posting this is that there has been some negative things posted regarding Club 4×4, however, my experience is and has been reinforced, that they do the right thing and have the interests of the 4×4 community at the forefront of their business.
A genuine thank you from myself.
