No they're not. I had ben with them for 3 yearsand nerfed the front bumper of my new Mercury Grand Marquis.
I told them I wanted Ford factory new parts. And old the body shop ( a real good one that restores Corvettes,Jaguars,Porsches and Rolls Royces to let e know if they gave trouble.
State Farmtried to stop me from using that reputable shop, "It is not om our"recommendd" list of shops tha we tell custmers to go to." (The policyholder by law can select the shop he wants).
They tried to put on a used bumper and bumper cover. I told them I wanted a NEW, FACTORY one, the car was new, less than 15,000 miles on it.
I said I did not want some aftermarket cheesy one made in Red China eiher.
They told me:
READ YOUR POLICY. It says in there we can put in junkyard parts, or aftermarket ones from anywhere, if we want to.
And guess what? They were right. They can.and they DID..
AND ALMOST ALL POLICIES SAY THE VERY SAME THING, FROM ANY COMPANY.
Shortly afterwards, I dropped them after 37 years with them. Bunch of basterds, cheapskates, not there whe Ineeded them..
Then: I found out that the BRAND NEW Mercury Grand Marquis bumper covers were all made in Communist China anyway. So much for the last Merkin car.
And the Mercury brand is out of bidness, now too. Last one was built January 4, 2011 and sent off to a rental fleet somewhere.
So I traded it in, and will take my chances with this new Outback. It is SORT of American. with 70% US parts and built n Indiana, but has a Japanese built motor and CVT transmission. So far it is sensational.
