An awful experience!

I have been insured by Johnson/Unifund for 15+ years. In 30 years of driving I have never had to make a claim. Following an accident that required extensive repairs we contacted J/U Insurance, and this was only an afterthought, as we hadn't even considered this initially. Our experience was not pleasant with the appraiser on the telephone and I felt very judged and and not understood. I understand that many questions are necessary to understand a situation, however I felt that I was being overly questioned about certain aspects of what was being described. Further, our auto shop expressed concerns about the treatment that they received by a visiting appraiser. Six months after the fact, they continue to talk with us about the verbal abuse (raising of voices and cursing towards the shop owner) that they experienced during this process. The shop felt that they were being accused of over inflating their prices (we have often commented on the "decent" pricing of this shop) and not being honest. This shop also reduced prices for us and did not charge us for some aspects of the repair due to the heavy cost of these repairs. Long story short, we are in the process of moving on to another company, for a savings of $800+ a year for both of our cars. I'm not sure if all companies are like this as we don't have prior experiences dealing with insurance following an accident, but we clearly were not happy with the large charge that we had as J/U refused to pay the full amount.

After several years with no problems lately there has been a constant stream of mistakes and errors, so much so that even my leasing company rep has been surprised the the level of incompetence with very basic instructions and information. I'm not sure what has changed but something sure has when a simple confirmation of insurance has to be redone three times. Add to this that I can never get my agent on the phone or to return calls or emails and I'm looking for a new provider.

not insured properly

I recently spoke to my insurance advisor at Johnson insurance in regards to my premium updates for all insurances and found out that I was charged as tenant for three years instead being charged as condominium home owner insurance. I was furious knowing that I was not insured for almost 3 years of residing in my condo without the proper insurance. Not only was I upset about this mistake but also at the insurance advisor as she found this situation amusing (laughing out loud). I am now considering switching companies due to their inability to listen to clients and their needs and their inability to sympathize with clients for there mistake.

If you have a good driving record in AB, you should pay around $110/month (women - $105/month and men - $113/month). Do you overpay? Get an Alberta car insurance quote to start saving.

I had a minor car accident, where I was at fault. The insurance company was very helpful, and the other party was compensated without any issues. After car repairs, it was easy to re-insure the car with the same provider. My premium was not raised after the accident. It was very easy to add a second driver, and no additional premium was required. I should add that I drive a late model car with a low market value.

The one thing that separates them from other insurers is their customer satisfaction. They treat their clients in the best way possible.

After that guy hit my car, this company made the claims experience very easy and worked with my dealership to make sure I got my car back quickly.

Did you know that on average Ontario drivers with good driving records pay $1,805/year in auto insurance? Is your insurance rate higher? Get a free car insurance quote and start saving today.

Takes long time to assess claim. Price increases without adequate explanation.

My claim was handled very quickly in a non-judgmental way. The impact on my future premiums was carefully explained and to my complete satisfaction.

Johnson's is great. The co-op I had more experience with for at least 25 years wasnot so helpful when I bought a new car and had to keep my old one for 3 more days. They wanted to charge me for having two cars, so I switched.

Not happy with car insurance reviews for your insurance company? Get a quote across up to 20 Canadian car insurers and make sure that you do not pay too much.

Have not had experience with claim, but at this point, am pleased with the coverage and the agent handling my account
