TD claim

by Er N on Sep 16, 2020
1 out of 5 stars

Recently I had got into an accident and filed my claim and after called them so many times and trying to reach them which is the hardest thing. You cannot reach these scammers easily my claim is still pending for the past 5 months and now the adjuster told me they are denying my claim as they told me my car damage did not happen from an accident when I told them I want to take my car fix myself and sort this myself they told me I can pick my car. Apparently, there is a 6000$ storage charge in my car and they killed my car value and the worst part they lied that they want to keep the car in their yard as it won't cost any storage but my car is in some auto shop in Toronto. Really fraud and scamming insurance company. I will go to court for this but people stay away from them they are fraudsters. I want to give them 0 stars but there is no option for it.

Dangerous Careless Workmanship

by Madelyne M on Aug 15, 2020

I used TD Insurance's auto expert shop for my claim in mid-June. It was a simple claim - I had had a bottle smashed through my back window, shattering it and damaging the door as I was driving. First, when I inquired about using my own shop, their representative, misinformed me that the only reason they ever sublet out work is when there is something wrong with the censors or console electronic system on the vehicle. I agree to use their shop, with the promise that the work was guaranteed. They proceeded to put a completely different colour of tinting on the window, AND tore apart my car door, reattaching pieces of the frame with sticky tack and double-sided tape - I wish I was joking. The piece fell off shortly after the work was done, and I came back to them demanding that they reimburse my preferred shop (Honda) to repair the vehicle properly with brand new parts. Their detailing contractor also left a RAZOR BLADE on my back seat, exposed, after removing the incorrect tint. I ended up having to source the correct tint myself, and arrange all the appointments to have the right colour put on. The repairs weren't actually complete until early August. This should have been a 5-day job. My question is, if TD is willing to cut corners like this, what other subpar work are they doing to people's engines and mechanical parts? After all this workmanship and inconvenience to me, they refuse to refund me my full deductible. I will never ever use a TD product again after this experience. In addition, service from my adjuster was slow, not thorough, and unhelpful. Communication was unclear.

Absolutely horrible

by MS on Apr 9, 2020

I had a claim for my new truck. It got hit while parked and was totalled. TD did not want to replace the vehicle (even though we paid an extra premium) and forced us to repair it. Repairs took several months and happened to be completed during the peak of the COVID 19 pandemic. Instead of waiting for the situation to get better they decided to cancel the payment extension of our rental and gave us a day to coordinate pick up and drop off of our car and car rental. They had no consideration for us nor the current situation affecting the entire world - not even exceptional circumstances could get TD to implement some decent customer service. So sad.

NO

Here was the course of events: 1) Truck received minor fender bender (other persons fault) 2) Took it to TD insurance and was told that not only would the other party cover everything but that they would also cover a rental car while the truck is being fixed. I was given a date to bring the truck back (after parts had been delivered) 3) Brought truck back, was told upon arrival that the parts were not there and that I would have to bring my truck back later. They said they had left a message telling me that the day before. Checked phone, no missed calls, no message. 4) Brought truck back in. This time parts were present, but then they told me that I no longer had a rental car covered. This time I came with my 8-month pregnant wife. I told them that they told me this would be covered on my first visit. They checked in their system and this was written down that they told me this on my initial visit (proof...I call it). But they said "sorry" and that this had changed, and that TD was no longer able to give me a rental car. I was angry, obviously - said some things I don't regret. 6) I went home, again. 6) Then I called the manager, who sorted out the situation the next day. I came back the next day and received a rental car. So, what do we do with all of this? Let's go through the issues: I was told I was going to get a rental car, then they didn't deliver. They said "sorry", but not sorry enough to fix the problem they caused...

So impressed!

5 out of 5 stars

I was so impressed by the service and convenience! From the moment I called in to notify them of my accident the service was impeccable - within 1/2 an hour I had a claim number, and agent. Within 1 day I had an appointment at the Auto Center (at my convenience) where I brought my vehicle, met my agent, went in to the service bay to discuss the damage, and stepped into my rental (of comparable make and model) all within 20 minutes. I would highly recommend.

WORST Company

by cjellis on Dec 19, 2019

If there was an option to give TD auto Insurance 0 stars, I would have chosen to do so as I honestly believe that is the best representation of the level of communication, customer service and complete lack of respect for the people who are unlucky enough to have to deal with them. I (thankfully) do not have TD Insurance as my provider but I was T-boned by someone who has TD insurance and my truck was written off, which means I had to deal with TD to get my vehicle fixed/paid out. The entire process from the very get-go was unbelievably painful and drawn out. It took the adjuster 11 days after the accident to even contact me and advise on what the next steps were (even though I had called and left multiple voicemails and e-mails with the TD adjuster working on my claim, starting the day after the accident). When they did finally contact me, they did not acknowledge or show any sign of being apologetic for the frustration I was feeling with being vehicle-less and unable to contact anyone to advise what was going on - though I explicitly advised I was feeling disgruntled (the auto body shop that I had taken my vehicle to advised after I complained that I had been without a vehicle and had no idea how much longer it would last that TD would cover a rental for me.. which was one of the reasons I had asked for an update from TD in the multiple e-mails and voicemails I had left with the adjuster. Had the autobody shop not advised of this, I have no doubt I would not have gotten into a rental because TD is that incompetent and sneaky and obviously did not want to have to pay to have me drive a rental while their employees took their time to mismanage this case). They provided me with a release form and told me to sign it - but the release form had contradicting payout amounts listed on the form in different locations. I asked for the form to be reviewed and revised before I signed it and asked for a breakdown as to how the payout amount was decided as I had multiple aftermarket upgrades on my vehicle and I wanted to ensure that I was being offered a fair amount based on my specific truck, not just a general base model. Long story short, it took over a month for this issue to be resolved. The adjuster continued to ignore voice mails and phone calls. I even called to escalate this issue to the manner, which was also ignored. After over 3 weeks of asking for the breakdown of how the payout was calculated, I was sent a spec sheet on a base model of my truck that had incorrect information listed (said the truck was grey; it is custom painted matte-black. said the rims were 20", they are aftermarket 18" rims; said the truck had cloth interior, it had leather etc. etc.) with absolutely no dollar amounts listed. When I, once again, asked for the breakdown of the costs, the adjuster advised that there was no such document to be able to provide. I asked if there was no breakdown as to how the number was found, how the appraiser could have come up with the payout amount, which was also ignored. I ended up signing the release without being provided any of the information I requested (the adjuster eventually said that I could submit receipts for all of the aftermarket upgrades to TD and they would review them one by one and take them into consideration for the payout but would not guarantee that the price would be adjusted -- for which I asked how it could be expected for a person to keep all of the receipts for aftermarket parts that had been on the truck for years on the off chance that someone else would total the truck and the insurance company would require them to give an appropriate payout... especially as all of the aftermarket upgrades were still ON the truck and the appraiser would have seen them if they had even looked at the vehicle). I ended up signing the release because the entire claims department was obviously incapable of any sort of organization, communication, honestly or customer service. Clearly, as management also ignored communications, it is the culture in the company in general and not just my misfortune to have to deal with 1 incapable individual. When I signed the release, I had to ask 3 times for upper management contact information, as the original manager I had contacted was also clearly just as incapable or unconcerned with mishandled clients. The adjuster replied that he couldn't provide me with management information but that someone would contact me... The manager with whom I had already tried to contact ended up phoning me, even though I explicitly advised that I needed to speak with her manager because part of the issue was with her specifically and that their bosses need to be aware that there are concerns not just with the adjusters, but in their management as well. Overall, the worst customer service I have ever encountered with both employees and management. I have worked in customer service for over 15 years and have never dealt with such unprofessionalism and lack of regard. I will refuse to deal with them ever again and hope that this review will help others avoid getting involved with one of the worst ran and managed companies I've ever experienced. The accident was November 16 and it is currently December 19... and was told to expect my cheque the week of Christmas (which I am imagining will not happen. That cheque should have been couriered directly to me) - so it has been over a month and I am still without reimbursement. Avoid this company at all costs.

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.

avoid Td Insurance at all cost

I bought my first new vehicle in 30 years and unfortunately had an accident 10 weeks later... Electronic emails constantly but not a single person to ever talk to. Hours of wait times on the phone and days without a return call. Then the company goes behind my back and authorizes repairs without calling me. They authorize 39 thousand in repairs on a 48 thousand dollar vehicle, not including mechanical costs and want me to wait 3 months for delayed GM parts plus a month for repair including the replacement of 4 of 6 airbags. This company plans on spending a total of 15 thousand more to repair the vehicle than it would cost to replace new. This company is a complete joke to deal with and forget talking to anyone. Now after 40 years of driving with my first accident claim I understand why they are rated by the public as a total disaster. TD, you don't deserve your one out of 5 stars rating.

Horrible, impersonal service

by emily on Sep 26, 2019
1 out of 5 stars

After an accident, TD insurance was an absolute nightmare. My vehicle sat in the body shop parking lot for nearly two weeks before the body shop itself tracked me down to ask why my car was abandoned in their parking lot, and if I wanted to proceed with a quote for repairs. I had been told by my TD appraiser that it would be fixable, and completed within 9 days, only to get this call informing me there has been no action for more than 10 days from when I spoke to a TD rep. Another 8 days go by, and they inform me they are unable to fix the car. I had to cancel a road trip, and multiple business opportunities because of the rental they authorized me, despite driving a seven-seat vehicle. They told me that this was unfortunate but irrelevant. Their gross negligence cost me thousands of dollars in revenue and time. When I finally did receive an offer for my car, it was approximately half of what I expected. The report they gave me was for cars with similar year and mileage, but clearly, they took the average of the five cheapest, and likely poorly upkept vehicles as their reference. My car was in pristine condition, and I am unable to buy anything even remotely comparable.

Bad experience

Their customer service never replies to your phones. They only fix your car at your centers, not at the dealer. They have a long delay. No update.

You get hit and they run.

I was involved in a hit & run accident resulting in my car being unfit for the road. I called the customer service line and was told that I would not hear back from a claims adjuster until Tuesday of next week (it's Friday morning). I was passed back and forth between four customer services representatives that were very RUDE and unknowledgeable. I was told that I would have to pay a $1000.00 deductible and would not be given a rental car as it was not in my policy. However, I called four days prior to adding accident forgiveness as well as the renal services. TD insurance will not provide a rental car and/or wave the deductible as stated in my policy because the policy did not begin for another 27 days? How does that even work? As soon as my vehicle is repaired, I will be cancelling my policy and going elsewhere.
