Johnson Insurance Auto Insurance Reviews

The most expensive insurance I could have gotten. The worst customer service I've ever received. Plus when it comes down to filing a claim they screw you around until you just cancel the policy to cut your losses. 4 months of waiting for my claim on a stolen vehicle and they tell me it's suspicious because I had to move. I owe $8,000 to the bank because you people are greedy and heartless.

Almost 2 months ago I was rear ended, and that is when my nightmare began. The accident happened at 8:00 MST, and after numerous attempts, I was finally able to get ahold of Johnson Insurance at 10:00 MST. After speaking with one of Johnson's call center employees and providing her with my statement, I was advised to take the car a half hour away to one of their guaranteed auto body shops to get the damages appraised. The autobody shop deemed my car unsafe/ undrivable and kept my car saying that they would let me know when Johnson Insurance gave them the go ahead to start repairs . A few days later I received an e-mail from an adjuster stating that if I had not heard from her by the time I received this letter to please contact her, the letter did not provide any sort of contact information so I just replied to the email providing all my info. 2 days later at 20:00 MST I get a phone call from this adjuster, stating that she was not aware of being assigned my case file but she would gladly assist me (off to a great start). I provided my statement again to my now assigned adjuster, and was asked to please send a copy of the police report, my written statement, pictures of the accident and any other information I had. I was advised that they would give me a call once they got ahold of Wawanesa (the other drivers Insurance company). A week later I get a call from the autobody shop to advise that the Insurance company approved the $15,000 repair to my car.3 days after that I called the adjuster to get an update, and was advised that they deemed the accident No Fault on my part, but due to Wawanesa not returning their calls I would have to pay the $500 deductible to get my car back and would be reimbursed later...I was also given a choice to put a stop work on my car until Wawanesa responded. Not wanting to be in a rental car any longer, paying glass coverage per day, I agreed to pay the deductible in order to get my vehicle back. 4 weeks after the accident happened my car was finally ready. I paid the $500 deductible, and was able to drive away in my own car. After not hearing from the Insurance adjuster in over 2 weeks I left messages for her to find out what was going on...I did not receive a response back until 2 days ago. At that point I was advised that wawanesa was claiming a no fault accident for their driver who ran into the back of me while I was at a full stop! Johnson Insurance has advised that the accident is now being investigated, even after telling me regardless of the circumstances the person that rear ended you is always at fault. Also to top
It off, my adjuster didnt even review the accident report as she wasnt even aware that the other driver was put down as not wearing a seatbelt at the timr of the accident! Im absolutely furious with Johnson Insurance for the way this has/is being handled! I am now obtaining legal advise regarding the situation, and already looking at alternative Insurance companies for my house and vehicle.

I am currently suing Unifund for the money they claim to have paid me for claims that were withdrawn, paid under $300 for theft of a stereo system worth over 5000. i had additional coverage for this so by the time they took the 250 deductible i was left with a $47 cheque but they claim to have paid over $6897 and for my property loss they first declared it as fraud then i took them to court and settled out of court only to get a $2000 cheque that they cancelled when i cashed it. In total my insurance has went up 4000 a year for the next 6 years because the subtotal of your claims is divided into 6 years and when you never save over $23,000 and are paying for it, i do believe that is extortion.

We have been a loyal customer of theirs for the last 20 years. In all that time our rates have always increased every year. It's absolutely ridiculous how much we pay today. Their customer service is atrocious. I recently put through a claim due to an accident that was not my fault. A spare time from an oncoming car rolled through the front end of my vehicle causing serious damage. After the car was repaired and the claim closed, my local service center discovered my front tie rod was loose. The exact point of impact from my accident. However, Johnsons refused to open the claim and re-evaluate it. And the claim adjuster never called me back after several attempts to reach her. We will be switching away immediately. And possibly take a penalty just to be done with it for good. Stay away from this company!!!

I went to Johnson Offices today tried to pay my Bill 1 place being New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, Canada and the other place was Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada - they have a stupid Policy of not taking cash no more. Please do not deal with the them, they do have a poor service ...I last thought Money is legal tender in Canada - they did not want to take my cash payment. Johnson's what a joke I will go else where with better service even it cost more.

Insurance agent Joann L. at Johnson Inc in Richmond Hill, Ontario has got to be the biggest joke or excuse of an agent that has ever existed. She tries to belittle her customers just to make herself feel better.
If Johnson Inc is the company for you then do yourself a big huge favour and ask for any other agent within the company then to deal with this woman.
When asked for information she tells you to look it up yourself because "that's just not my job" she often replies. Well if selling insurance isn't your job then what the heck are you doing there, besides wasting everyone's time including your own? Crazy crazy woman. Beware!!!!

I had claimed recently and they decided to give me value of the car as it was not repairable. They gave me rental car just for 4 days, today is the last day and still I didn't receive cheque and when I call them to extend rental period , they don't pick up phone...no reply of email and finally they talked so rudely and denied for rental extension..........

Shame on you....you love just money but not customer service and your business.

Beware dealing with this company. We tried to leave for another insurance co that offered the same auto coverage for lower rates and Johnson charged an additional $180 in cancellation fees in order for us to cancel (more than 1 month of payments with only 5 months left on the policy). Belair Ins was $45 / month cheaper right up front, so I would suggest avoiding this company and dealing directly with Belair instead.

I can't even bring myself to assign even one star to this fly by night company. I was in an automobile accident last year. The other driver -- insured by Unifund -- was at fault. My insurance carrier (StateFarm) got the run around when trying to get Unifund to cover the cost of the emergency vehicles that were called to the scene of the accident. Unifund doesn't answer the phone and they don't return calls from the State Farm claims adjusters. Now I'm personally on the hook for paying over $400 to the county to cover the cost of the firetrucks showing up. If I don't pay, the county will turn my case over to a collection agency and my credit standing will be compromised.

I have been insured with Johnson insurance for well over 10 years now and have never had an issue until I actually needed their help.

Instance 1. My car was hit in a parking lot. I was not present, but the person left a phone # which I called for the info etc. Provide this to my adjuster who then tells me he can't get in touch with the insurance company. After him being unable to get me any info and being in a rental for weeks, I Email my adjuster asking what is going on and whether or not I should be thinking about getting the police involved. I receive no reply for months. Not to mention I was charged 1200$ for the rental even though I have loss of use up to 3000$ and have for 14 years

Instance 2. The same car was stolen from in front of the house. The police were in a car chase with the suspect which resulted in damage to my vehicle. The adjuster tried to send me to a shop at the other end of the city when he already knows it is undrivable. Similar to my last adjuster, i asked him to send someone to appraise the vehicle at my home and have not received a reply in a week.

The sales department and customer service are all very nice and polite but that is just to sell you a policy. When it comes time for them to provide you service for the money you've been paying them it is a different company.
