Meloche Monnex (TD Insurance) Auto Insurance Reviews

The second day of waiting on hold for over 2 hours! I have 3 young kids and cannot dedicate this amount of time to try and speak to someone about a simple coverage question. I will be changing companies as soon as possible. I recommend to take your insurance search elsewhere.

Spoke with 2 agents. Spent 2 hours with 1st agent setting up the new purchase, and the agent confirmed policy was in place, and provide temporary card through email. Then the agent said she was having some computer trouble and would have to call me back the same day. Never heard from her!! After 1 week, I logged into my account, and to my horror, all the addition that happened ago was all deleted. i.e. no more coverage for my new vehicle. Called 2nd agent after 1 week, and was told that she was not sure why everything was deleted. Then, went through all the questions etc. again. Waste of time. After my vehicle was done, I wanted to update my property insurance but was told by the 2nd agent they are closed, and she PROMISED she would call me back the next day around noon. Next day, I did not get a call from her until almost 5:30 pm, which I was not able to take the call due to the evening commitment. Her reason was she was tied up the whole day. All agents are irresponsible and unreliable! Looking to change insurance company now. Their staff needs proper training!

We have had our auto and home insurance with this company for 25 years. I just called to add our teenage son (new driver) to our plan. I was expecting our premium to go up but was surprised to learn that they will not insure new drivers under any circumstances. I will be cancelling our policies immediately, due to this elitist and discriminatory policy.

I’ve been with TD Meloche Monnex for almost twenty years and I’ve never made a claim or had a claim against me. Recently, my parked car was hit by a drunken driver; thankfully, two local people dragged him out of the truck and held him until the police arrived. I had a letter from TD saying that I had zero deductible and so they’d be happy to pay for the repairs. They were super friendly in the beginning but then I was told my 1998 car wasn’t worth fixing and they’d give me $1000. I reminded them of the letter and I was told “that was then, this is now” and that it was a matter of wording. I’m still in the process of talking to other people but I’m told they will say the same thing - even before I’ve had a chance to talk to them. Earlier, I left for the winter and on my return, I replaced my insurance. “Do you want the windshield coverage to continue?” I’ve never had this coverage. I was told the agent must have hit the wrong key; there was no mention of a refund. Like others, I’ve also been told I can get much cheaper coverage elsewhere, even though I’m supposed to have a cheaper rate because of being in a group. My advice is to go elsewhere.

First of all...stay far away from this company! We had a small accident a few weeks ago that caused minor surface damage to the rear of our vehicle. We got our own repair estimate for $2500. We took it to their guys so that we could file our claim. We waited over THREE WEEKS for them to get back to us after numerous follow-ups, only to find out work hadn't even started on our vehicle. The repair shop blamed the insurance company for not sending paperwork, and TD Meloche blamed the repair shop for being backed-up with work. We, finally, escalated it to a manager. Got a call back the next day to tell us that the vehicle was considered a write-off. We're still waiting to find out our settlement offer, apparently, there is no one we can speak to on it, and we just have to keep waiting for some indefinite time. We bought our vehicle just three years ago for $11K. And they're writing it off for approx. $3k of damage? Why even have insurance if they can just choose to write it off for whatever they want and not repair it when you file a claim. This has been a complete nightmare I wouldn't wish to anyone. Oh...and we had no rental vehicle coverage on our policy, so all this time have been down a vehicle which I understand was our choice not to take it. But you also don't expect an insurance company to take three weeks just to START processing your claim. I tried to ask for a rental vehicle at this point but of course, the answer was no.

1. When I replied to the email that I got the Insurance confirmation from asking to change something, I never got any reply! The confirmation was only a table including the basic information only in their own terminology and did not have any clarification of anything in detail on top of that it had wrong information about the lessee! 2. When I later called and asked to send me a copy of the terms and conditions or the contract that I am signing in order to commit financially, I was told that the system doesn’t do that and that I have to accept everything we talked about verbally and I should not see what is excluded in the contract and on top of that if I cancel, mid-term or even when the mail comes to see the contract, I will be paying one month cancellation fee and the agents didn’t care about anything and he said he’ll be happy helping me cancel right now before the policy starts. I have asked for a manager and the manager just simply repeated what he said and then told me this is the rule here, it’s only a verbal quotation, this is how things work in this company! This is neither ethical nor professional. I am very disappointed with a big company like this behaving in such a bad scammy way!!

This vehicle is a 2015 Subaru Forester XT pearl blue colour with only 9,300KM (approx. 5,600 miles) on it and it is in excellent condition other than the improperly done repair work.

The damage to the rear bumper cover caused by a hit and run, while the car was parked, was very minor but it required a replacement bumper cover due to the black textured portion being scuffed which, if that hadn't occurred, would not have needed a new bumper cover.

Took it to the "preferred shop" which painted the bumper cover the wrong shade of colour, it was too dark which was very noticeable and devalued the vehicle further and much greater than the accident damage cause. The vehicle was sent back to fix the problem but came back with the problem extended to both side's rear quarter panels by spraying them the colour of the improperly coloured rear bumper cover and there was overspray on the driver's side front and rear doors and the paint had orange peel. The vehicle was sent back to a different location of the "preferred" body shop which did a better paint job, no orange peel and the overspray problem was almost completely eliminated (there's still a little left) but the improper colour was extended even further along the sides of the rear of the car and, because of improper masking there's a line of paint forming a continuous line along the black portion of the bumper cover. Also, there's a stainless steel protection plate along the top of the rear bumper cover that was improperly installed, it has 3 places along the edge where it is puckered and not stuck to the bumper cover. As well, the rear mud flap on the passenger side is not tight against the rear side of the car at the wheel well. The bumper cover is not quite plumb with the tail lights, it is protruding a bit out on the passenger side under the tail light trim whereas on the other side it is slightly in under the tail light trim. That was the 3rd attempt to remediate the problem caused by the first repair attempt now they want to try a 4th time at a totally different body shop. We met the insurance company rep and the body shop owner and had a discussion but my wife and I have no confidence that the improperly painted repair will be remedied back to the OEM colour it should be. There's no guarantee that the paint colour of the repair will ever be done correctly, and there may be other problems such as described in the 3rd repair attempt or more than that. There's a lot more to this than what I've written but I can't deal with writing more about it. We are now dealing with the insurance company's customer service department but, considering what has occurred, we are not hopeful of a satisfactory resolution.

We are with TD Meloche Monnex for last 8 years. We never had a claim, never got a ticket, luckily never had an accident. We also had house insurance with them from last year. I got G licence this year. As per our last conversation our insurance rate suppose to decrease for next year. But We are surprised to see that out rate increase 28/mo for next one yr. When I called they dont have any logical explanation. Even the guy on the phone are telling that there are no logical explanation why its gone up and he is sorry but he can not do anything about it. We have time to accept it or reject it after doing our own math.
This is how they are treating their loyal customer!!

Our daughter has had Meloche Monnex auto and car insurance for over 14 years. Last week her car was rear-ended by a snow removal dump truck and the car was totalled, according to the insurance adjuster. Luckily, she had minor injuries and whiplash, but was transported by ambulance to the hospital from the accident on the advice of the police. As she was not there when the car was removed and the police were finished, she was not able to get a copy of the police report at the time and must wait 10-14 days for it. Meloche will pay for a rental car only for 1 week, and that means she has no transportation. They expect her to drive ~40 miles to their office to pick up papers and the miniscule check they are providing for the loss of her car. They are paying only about 45% of the book value and have not provided any proof tat the damage is actually more extensive than the value of the car. Absolutely the worst customer service I have ever heard of. Do not, under any circumstances, get a policy with this firm. I have made it my crusade to make sure everyone I know is aware of their treatment. Won't help our daughter with the expense of her new car, but maybe someone else. We never know just how good or bad our insurance providers are until we need to claim. This firm is really rock bottom on the list. keep away!
