    Do not purchase this insurance. Let's put them out of business. Their so called motto is "integrity over profit". It needs to be the opposite. I was rear ended by one of their clients. As soon as I heard the woman say she had this fake a$$ insurance, I knew I was not going to be helped. Why should I have to pay my $1000. deductible to have my car repaired when I did not cause the accident?

    The person who hit me was hit by someone else, but we were stopped in traffic. She had to be too close to me to begin with in order to cause the damage she caused. The person who hit her fled the scene, hitting someone else as he made a U-turn. Fake insurance Loya needs to find that person. There were cameras. We were near two schools. I am going to fight until I am compensated.

    Fred Loya is THE WORST INSURANCE you have to deal with, they are very unprofessional, don't want to pay to bring your vehicle back to a pre accident condition, I got hit by a driver with this insurance and let me tell you is a nightmare. First they did an estimate on pictures only, you take your vehicle to an office they take pictures and send them in to another office, this office take 2 to 3 day to contact and they offer to pay a ridiculously amount for the repairs, then they tell you that when you take your vehicle for repairs the shop can call a supplement for any additional damages.

    They only pay for one day of rental and when the shop called for the supplement it took them 3 day to get back with the shop and it was just to make an appointment to go an look at the vehicle, all this time you have to pay out of pocket for the rental, after the "adjuster shows to look at the truck is just a person to take more pictures of the damages and send them in for some one else to decide, when you try to contact them they don't answered the calls when they do they put you in hold for up to 50 minutes, they do all of this so you get frustrated and drop the issue.

    The adjuster don't return your calls, emails nothing, the phone number they give you for their supervisors never work, is all run by women's (I don't have anything against a woman doing this work) but all the ones I have to deal with didn't know anything about cars-parts sorry but is my experience with this claim, I know there are womans that are really capable to do this but in this case they didn't know the difference between a regular light and an LED one.

    When they accept to pay more for the damages only pay for one more day of the rental and don't consider that the shop has to order parts and wait for them to arrived so they can fix your vehicle, they refuse to pay for the rental days you had to wait for the person to show up and take pictures of your vehicle and the time it takes to get the correct parts to fix it, they just don't pay for those days. At the end you have to use your insurance if you want your vehicle repaired correctly, you have to pay out of pocket for the rental, the repairs and they will mail you a check in 10 to 15 days, why you have to use your own money to pay for something that wasn't your fault to begin with. If you have the bad luck and get in an accident with some one with Fred loya insurance be ready to fight all the way if you want your vehicle fix. I will give it 0 stars but ONE is the only way to leave a review.

      I was hit by someone that had Fred Loya in my BMW. Only 2 body shops would deal with them in my city. I found another that would take my car. I got my car towed because my dash lights started to come on and I was hearing noises. Once at the body shop they found more damage. Fred loya only wanted to pay half the cost that left me with a 2k balance.

      I was rearended, called Fred Loya who I have full coverage with. Sent me a lil small check that I refuse to cash. And the adjuster and agencies alike all ignored my claim. Never issued no legal documents for proof. Just abandoned me. Till this day not good business pratice at all. I'm filing a claim with the insurance commissioner and the BBB and Consumer affairs.

      1. VIOLATION 1 — Failure to pay lienholder: After 161 days of continuous contact in which VIP Finance identified itself as the title holder and lienholder at every
      point, Fred Loya issued a total loss settlement letter on March 31, 2026 listing $0.00 to VIP Finance as lienholder and directing $8,580.40 to the former insured,

      Leyanet **. She has no legal ownership interest in this vehicle. This is a direct violation of standard insurance practice and Oklahoma Statute 36-1250.8.

      2 . VIOLATION 2 — Incomplete virtual estimate: Fred Loya's adjuster conducted a photo-based virtual estimate on December 31, 2025, resulting in $2,857.88
      covering only front bumper damage. No physical inspection was performed. Color Match Collision Center physically inspected the vehicle and found extensive
      additional damage including the left door, rear door, quarter panel, frame, and rocker panel — totaling $8,806.56. The incomplete estimate delayed the total loss

      declaration and caused all subsequent problems.

      3 . VIOLATION 3 — Violation of Oklahoma SB 641 storage rates: Oklahoma Senate Bill 641 (2025) requires $39/day for the first 7 days and $125/day when the
      insurer does not approve a supplement within 7 days. Fred Loya never approved Color Match's Supplement 2 (submitted March 11, 2026). The mandatory

      $125/day rate applies from March 18, 2026. Fred Loya offered only $440 total - including $20/day - which does not exist under Oklahoma law. Color Match's legally compliant charges total $2,800+ and grow by $125 every day.

      4 . VIOLATION 4 — Bad faith threats on recorded call: On April 1, 2026, Fred Loya's representative stated on a recorded telephone call: 'The only thing we can
      offer is $440. If they're not willing to accept it, we will not pick up the vehicle and the owner return will be the only thing that we would pay out.' Fred Loya used

      Owner Retain as a coercive threat to force an illegally low storage payment. This call has been recorded and transcribed.

      5. VIOLATION 5 - Unjustified $500 key deduction: Fred Loya deducted $500 from the settlement for a missing key. The vehicle key is confirmed in possession
      of Color Match Collision Center. Under Oklahoma Statute 36-1250.8(B), all deductions must be measurable, discernible, and appropriate. This deduction is

      none of the above.

      6 . VIOLATION 6 - 161-day delay in resolving claim: Oklahoma law require insurers to complete investigation within 60 days and submit a settlement offer

      within 60 days of proof of loss. Fred Loya took 161 days to issue a settlement offer —0 more than 2.5 times the legal requirement - and then imposed a 10-day deadline on VIP Finance to respond.

      Fred Loya Insurance is hands down one of the most unprofessional companies I have ever dealt with. Every step of the process is a mess—no accountability, no communication, and absolutely no respect for customers. Phone calls are ignored or dismissed, and they actively avoid letting you speak to anyone who can actually make decisions or provide real answers. You are passed around, stonewalled, or flat‑out brushed off. This feels intentional, not accidental. Their conduct appears to be in clear violation of Texas Insurance Code Chapters 541 and 542, particularly when it comes to unfair practices and failure to handle matters in a timely and transparent manner. Instead of resolving issues, they delay, deflect, and frustrate until you give up. If I could leave a zero‑star rating, I would. I strongly warn anyone considering Fred Loya Insurance to look elsewhere. Do not waste your time, energy, or money on a company that operates this way.

      I had a very frustrating experience with Fred Loya Insurance following a multi-vehicle accident. From the beginning, communication was essentially nonexistent. We left multiple voicemails and sent written correspondence requesting to discuss our claim, but never received a response. There was no acknowledgment, no follow-up, and no effort to engage with us at all. After 13 months of being ignored, we were forced to have our third-party administrator file arbitration just to get a response. Only then did the company finally communicate with us—and that’s when we learned they had already paid over $20,000 to another party and nearly exhausted the policy limits without ever contacting us.

      At that point, they offered us approximately $4,000 to settle a claim with about $20,000 in damages. To make matters worse, our collision deductible is $25,000, so we are still out more than $18,000 with no meaningful recovery. What’s most concerning is not just the outcome, but the process. There was no transparency, no communication, and no indication that our claim was ever properly considered before the limits were paid out. Based on this experience, I would strongly caution others about the claims handling practices here, especially in situations involving multiple parties. Being completely ignored until legal action is initiated is not how claims should be handled.

      Customer service in the local office showed good customer service. I filed my claim. I received at least three calls from I guess was the main office. The women I talk to were on top of everything. A couple of weeks I was going to call the office, but then I received a phone call from someone in the office saying, "The insurance company of the other party had been notified and someone will be calling me back in regards of where to take my car for an estimate". I normally write down the person's name that I am talking with, I forgot.

      Well two weeks passed then I talked to an adjuster named Griselda. She said, "As I told you, you would have to call the insurance company of the other party." I told her, "Whoever I spoke to didn't say that." it took me three-four tries to contact her. I had to call a supervisor in order to reach her. This morning I didn't like her attitude, also she said she was going to send me paperwork. She said if she was going to send it right away. As of now it has been over three hours. It would have been better if she said before the end of the day. Terrible customer service.

      Although the staff at the local office seemed to have decent customer service and were polite, my overall experience with this company is far below mediocre. I have spent more than 20 minutes and at least 5 phone calls simply to update my payment method for reoccurring payments on my auto insurance policy. In that 20 minutes, I made several calls, got transferred at least 3 times and got hung up on either during the hold time or the phone was picked up and then immediately hung up before any sort of voice interaction at least 3 times. I called within normal business hours. Every single number that is listed on Google goes to the same answering service.

      Within that answering service, they offer you alternate numbers to try, and when you call them, the very person who gave you the number answers. These things have wasted my time and there is still no resolve. There is a customer login page for Fred Loya, however that login only allows you to make a payment and nothing else. If you want real and effective human interaction that doesn’t involve you driving to the location in person, go with another company. Insurance agents should not be making it difficult for their paying customers to get the service they PAY for.
