AutoOne Insurance Introduces CAR Network

Complete Auto Repair (CAR) customer service provides stress-free repairs

MELVILLE, N.Y., June 26 -- AutoOne Insurance, a division of OneBeacon Insurance Group, providing auto insurance to both voluntary and Assigned Risk drivers, today announced a brand new service for its customers aptly named AutoOne CAR Network.

The AutoOne CAR (Complete Auto Repair) Network is a stress- and hassle-free customer service that provides repair center referrals, at the customer's option, to a network of facilities selected by AutoOne Insurance. It's convenient, paperless and available to anyone who reports a claim to AutoOne's claims hotline.

To ensure quality customer service, repair centers selected for the AutoOne CAR Network must adhere to stringent guidelines, and have up-to-date repair equipment and certified associates on staff. They also must guarantee the repairs for as long as the insured or claimant owns the vehicle.

AutoOne puts every participating repair facility through a rigorous initial inspection, and conducts regular reinspections. Adhering to program requirements is a prerequisite for a repair facility's continued association with the AutoOne CAR Network. Customers opting for referrals may have any number of services provided including: appraisal service, rental car arrangements and complete repair of the vehicle to its pre-accident state, as well as other services.

"AutoOne takes pride in being a company that is responsive to its clients' needs and is constantly striving to provide enhanced, convenient customer services," said Carey Benson, AutoOne's President and CEO. "With the addition of the AutoOne CAR Network, we continue to grow our customer services with quality assistance for our insureds when they need their insurance company the most."

The AutoOne CAR Network is currently available for New York State residents. Expansion of the network to New Jersey residents is planned for the second half of 2006.
