Very reliable company.

by Oscar Escalante on Dec 5, 2024
5 out of 5 stars

Very reliable car insurance, I recently had my car hit in a parking lot and the insurance was very attentive in processing the data and the whole process was favorable and efficient, they recommended an excellent shop and my car is like new. Very satisfied, and so I can recommend Desjardins as an excellent car insurance company.

Sertas is the worst RUN!!!!

I paid to get my car detailed, I have leather heated seats throughout. A few days after I got my car cleaned I went away in vacation and left my car in my dry underground parking garage for a few weeks. I came back to the worst mold infestation I and several other detailing companies have ever seen. Mold was on the steering wheel the side panelling of the door the seatbelts u name it. Obviously this was the fault of the detailer who must have used a compromised rag in my vehicle. I reported it to them, they dismissed my claim and didn’t go after the insurance of the shop instead told me take it to small claims this is why we pay for car insurance in this country for absolutely no reason we are being held hostage. We pay hundreds each month and they get to pick and choose when they help.

I had another claim where I was victim of hit and run and also struck directly by the driver as I was trying to take picture of their plate which I did get as well as make and model. The police were involved collision reporting informed of a site the insurance company could use to get the insurance details of the offending driver they refused to do so and I was left paying the deductible even thought there is a detective assigned to the case b/c of the damage and the assault. This is the help you get, you’re left paying they don’t investigate or seek justice for their customers they just take thousands from u each year and u never have peace of mind with having them as your broker. Run away!!!

The worst customer service.

I had an accident more than a month ago. During the accident happened and entire time that the police had arrived at the scene, I was talking to the insurance agent on the phone, and at her suggestion, I moved my car to a towing parking lot, but after more than a month, the insurance company did not take my car out of the towing parking lot and didn’t transferred it to the repair shop. And every time I call, they just say they're sorry and say they'll be back soon, but they don't do anything else.

Car Accident

by Maria on Feb 13, 2022
4.7 out of 5 stars

My car was rear-ended and there was quite a lot of damage to the back. Even after some time contacting the insurance, and extensive damage to the van, my insurance sent me to a very reputable garage in my area and covered all costs.
I am very happy with my insurance agent. Any time I require documents or have questions, I can send an email and get an immediate response.

VALEUR A NEUF

by Marc Henri on Oct 20, 2021
1 out of 5 stars

I have been with Desjardins Insurance for many years and never had to make a claim. I also pay for "Valeur a neuf" which is supposed to restore your vehicle to a new one when in an accident. On June 12th of this year, I was rear-ended and they just finished repairs on my truck today (Oct 20th). When I picked up my truck the rear tail light was cracked and when I asked why it wasn't replaced they said it wasn't part of the accident, and refused to cover it. I would definitely stay away from this company they are thieves with a license.

Very bad experience

by NAV on Sep 15, 2021

I recommend don't take car insurance. If you go by the claim department they refuse some parts because they said this is not related to your accident
We often have to insure because we want to secure our car but they don't

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.

Worst ever

Do not go to this insurance. Never use any of their preferred shops for a repair. I've had 2 horrible experiences both with the shops and with the claims adjuster. One shop was bytek VW Ottawa and another was fixauto 417 Nissan. With VW the job was so bad insurance ended up buying out my car. The one with fixauto they go through managers like crazy and do anything to avoid fixing poor work and make excuses and as for the insurance don't expect them to do their jobs. The guy I had would take months to get back to me. I had an accident in 2019 brand new car and was still trying to get problems resolved in 2021 and got to the point I said screw it and traded in my car. The dealer used the poor work against me when purchasing my vehicle. This company also goes back in your history 10 years. Save yourself the trouble and try something else...

Refusing to repair car

by John on Oct 5, 2020
1 out of 5 stars

My vehicle got into an accident a month ago, they are still not approving my vehicle to be repaired to its full state. Horrible customer service and management, trying to find excuses not to repair the vehicle. They try their best to cheap out on the parts on the vehicle. The highest quote for an insurance company that doesn't care about your safety. All they want is to make money of you when you get in an accident good luck getting your car repaired as they give you a hard time...

Disgusting service

I was stopped for a school bus in November and a car rear-ended me. Took my truck to the body shop they recommend, I specifically requested they check for frame damage. However, they were too lazy to remove the rear bumper to check the frame. The quote they submitted to Desjardins insurance was approved but some parts were not available. My insurance adjuster was unable from mid-November until January 6. So finally I picked up my untouched truck and took it home. Removed the bumper to find the frame was indeed damaged. The next day took back to the body shop for more pictures, which they reluctantly did. Then I sent my own pictures to insurance. Because parts were not available all they offered was the price of new parts and that’s all. So I took it to another certified body shop that actually looked at the frame damage. They did up a quote to fix everything, however, they still can get some parts. So I did a third quote, frame repair, parts and a fabrication shop to make the parts that were unavailable. Now my adjuster was unreachable for 4 weeks. Finally, they sent an appraiser at the end of March. He said there was rust on my truck so they could replace it with a rusty used bumper. He did actually locate a bumper and hitch 2000 km away in Nova Scotia. I ordered the part and had it shipped. Now I was starting to lose patients with this whole performance so back to the second body shop for a new quote using the used parts. The new quote was $300 more than the original quote, this one included the frame repair. After a week or so the appraiser calls the body shop and basically yelled at them that they charge too much and the quote was too much. The quote was $3,800 to fix it, after this, I got feed up informed the body shop to proceed with the repair and bill me directly. The insurance appraiser sent an offer of $1,400 after another 2 weeks of waiting. They sent a big email patting themselves on the back about coming to a deal. The only problem is it’s off by $2,400. So I stopped contacting the insurance company and started talking to a lawyer. We are almost in May now, so 5 1/2 months and my no-fault accident cost me over $2,400 and I haven’t driven my truck since November. I was with them for about 20 years with no claims, this was my first one. So do not give your business to these crooks. They will try to screw you. They definitely don’t deserve any stars.

Avoid Desjardin

by DD on Apr 9, 2020
1 out of 5 stars

Following an accident Desjardin Insurance refused to have the vehicle checked for hidden mechanical damages, clearly stating in the email 'we usually don't do it'. They only agreed to an alignment, which was NOT done as per vehicle specification. The car did not behave on the road the way it was supposed to. When I brought up the issue with Complaint Liaison Officer, after 6 months of phone calls and emails that were never replied to, I was flat said I should have asked to have the vehicle checked after the accident. Which I did. The Complaint Liaison Officer answer was - 'well, I would have not changed anything anyway'. What a joke!
