on hold for more than 45 mins

My daughter had an accident, her car is not drivable, need help with tow and sitting on hold for more than 45 minutes waiting for one of their 'highly trained team to be with us shortly, your call is important to us, and handling your claim quickly and professionally is important to us'. Yes. That is believable. I'll be looking for a new insurance agent on Monday!!

Stay Away

The customer service sucks they are total deceivers. You call for something and you get something else in the post. You expressly ask not to add certain things to the police in order to keep it low in price and they don't take it off, so you need to call again and loose time with them on the phone.

Advise: during the call ask them to say or repeat that they took the option off, they are on record and at least you have proof. You will notice if you ask them to take something off they will not say anything so FORCE them to say it !!!

Change policy terms w/o notice

Johnson makes changes to your plan without notification. In my case, they increased my deductible from $100 to $500. When asked about this, they mention a mass change was implemented. I verified this by looking at their notification and it specifically stated the change in deductible is ONLY for standard policies, while I was paying for a comprehensive policy. Regardless, they made this change to all policies, crooks.

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.

Poor choice for car insurance

by Jody Hinds on Jun 22, 2017

If it weren't for the price, I would definitely be going elsewhere for car insurance.

The customer service is absolutely terrible; long wait times, rude staff, and blatant disrespect for customers time. You definitely need to plan ahead when trying to communicate with this company; nothing can be accomplished in a reasonable timeframe. Customer authentication is very poor; how is it possible for me to obtain car insurance, but they spelled my name wrong on the policy, after being corrected numerous times? Perhaps because it took over 5 phone calls with 5 different representatives for them to set up a policy...

I sincerely hope that I will not have to file a claim through this company, I can only imagine what a headache that would be. If I can get through a year without having to communicate with them, I will be very happy when my policy reaches its expiry date.

Next time, I will absolutely pay more with a different company to have decent customer service!

Bizarre...found at fault!

by Maggie on May 23, 2017

We have been loyal for 40 plus years. Involved in an accident where other driver turned into our lane and hit us. Because we were exiting a parking lot, the Adjuster said we were automatically at fault because other vehicle had right of way, cause he was on the road way. We were automatically found at fault because we are in parking lot with auto stop sign and no matter if other driver hit us. This is bizarre in my World! Any thought or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Horrible customer service

My brother is with Johnson insurance. He got into an accident a few weeks ago and they assigned him a claims guy where he doesn't return your call for weeks on end to where you have to call a 1-800 number and have to be redirected to someone else to get information on the claim. They have been screwing around with my brother for weeks on end and not approving for a rental when it's on his insurance plan. These guys are the worst company to deal with for claims. I highly recommend you not deal with Johnson insurance for auto.

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.

Very Overpriced/Bad Service

by Maceas on May 15, 2017
1 out of 5 stars

Requested a quote for my son and their price was 250%++ higher than the company I did choose (Belair Direct) - for exactly same policy inclusions.

When i did not move forward with their quote Johnson's reaction was to demand information about my son that I felt was confidential and private - when he is not even their client! As far as i am concerned I have no right to share his information with them without his approval. That demanding this information is a "policy" of theirs does not overrule my son's right to privacy. And it was at this point that they threatened me - to cancel my policy!???

I proceeded to move everything from Johnson to Belair Direct - saved $550 on auto (over 3 cars), save $700 on house, and even got $200 back on my son's insurance.

VERY horrible experience from both Customer Service and Costing perspectives.

I learned my lesson and will never, ever work with Johnson Insurance again.

Discrepancies everywhere

by JP on May 3, 2017

I called in to add myself as a second driver and no consent was requested from my father. I called in about an unexpected $500 invoice and suddenly my father's consent was required. I asked that they call my father to request consent. I said I would let my father know to expect a call. When I called them back to tell them they can call my father they decided they would not call a number that is not on file. My father would be at work... he possibly cannot pick up the phone at home.

My concern is just that when they are able to add more insurers (getting more money from us) they will do it all with no consent from the account holder, however, if you suddenly have a question or concern it will not be heard without the account holder's consent.

No consistency and very obviously after the money. The worst customer service, absolutely horrible.

Terrible experience

by seve on Apr 29, 2017

They have included home insurance in the policy even though we had home insurance already with another insurer. They have never sent the policy documents claiming that they had the wrong address. When I saw that they were charging me more than they should I called them and only then I found out that home insurance was included. Even though they supposedly rectified the situation they continued to take the incorrect amount from my bank account. Their customer service is extremely rude and poorly trained. Stay away from this company. They are not cheap, they will try to cheat you and their customer service is terrible.

Poor customer care

I was hit by a car from back and unfortunately he was running from scene. I reported to police and waiting for 2 weeks no suspect was found. I decided to claim under my policy. Because wheel and axle is damaged/as it was not my fault. So 3 times with 3 different customer rep. They promised me adjuster will call you . still waiting for couple of days and left message for adjuster. No answer no call back. I asked for rental car and, first, they agreed then said no - now you should talk to adjuster. He needs to see the car first.

So poor customer service , trying to not cover /assist you when you need them.

I am disappointed and will switch to another company soon.
