Call Suzuki First

I keep getting pestered with emails to
Call Suzuki First
with a freephone number for theft or accident before calling the insurer.
Has anybody used this service? I can't believe it is free!! Nothing's for nothing these days.

It doesn't cost you anything directly, it all comes out of the claim. You should check the terms of your insurance before you sign up for one of those services though because the insurance company probably insists that you use one of their approved repairers or rental companies.

Hmmmmm sounds like a nuisance to me.

The question is do I use it or not though?

I agree, and its a big NO from me!

I had a renault megane (oops!) and that had loads of stuff in the 'accident management pack' about calling them in the event.

Basically i see it as a money making exercise for themselves. If i was the dumbest driver about and had no friends who know anything, then it may be useful. Otherwise... standard roadside recovery is plenty enough to get me out of any problems

is it actually suzuki themselves touting it?

oh, and another thing... if it adds to the cost of your insurance claim (and how would it not?), then it will cost you more at renewal time i suspect. Insurance is enough of a con as it is without enterprises like that!

I assume it is Suzuki sponsored and it's a good point about renewal.
