My car caught on fire?

Ma Asked: My car caught on fire?

I drove my car (Nissan Altima 1997) to Pep Boys (Long Island) for a fix on 02/04 because of the leak issue. I dropped it off. When I came back from MacDonald after lunch, the car caught on fire, which melted almost the whole front part. The Pep Boy technician said afterwards the leak gasoline caused the fire when he tried to start the engine. I am still waiting for the report from the fire marshal Dept. And my Geico insurance does not cover fire damage. So what should I do now? Great thanks!

I dont have an answer but drop Geico, they suck. my brother wrecked his car rolled it and the whole front end got sucked in and they didnt do anything. i would switch to progressive. i LOVE it and its cheap. but for the whole car thing im very very sorry. i dont have a answer for that.

Interesting that you were able to drive the car there and it wasn't on fire, but when they worked on it, it caught on fire.Now they want your insurance to cover it?I would be calling B.S. and tell them they owe you a big repair.Contact your insurance and have them fight for you.If that doesn't work, contact your local television, radio, news paper and tell them your story.If that doesn't work then talk to a lawyer.

sounds like the tch was in a hurry to make a big profit from you and may have over done it by cuttingthe fuel lines

the mechanic caused the fire, their insurance might cover it.
