Never buy insurance from here, i got my insurance in January and the associate told me that they are going to charge for 2 months I said ok then my next payment would be in march she said yes and she asked me what date I want it to be deducted I said 21st everything went well. On Feb 21st I got a msg saying that I have been charged 505 for the insurance but I had 450 in my bank account, it bounced back and when I went there to ask about it she said the policy will be cancelled now I was like what ?!! It's only been some hours and I am there asking if I can pay back coz I got my paycheque after that deduction. No grace period even for 1 day while other insurance policy have 14 days. Not even my fault and I had to pay a lot more in insurance and nsf fees for this ama and the bank. Terrible experience. I am going to talk to the manager today if he will be there coz I went there yesterday he wasn't there. Let's see what he will say

I’m so grateful I met Alma at AMA Sunridge! She helped me with insurance for all three of my cars, and the whole process was made so easy. Alma’s positive attitude and genuine kindness made the experience wonderful. The rest of the staff at AMA Sunridge was equally amazing—just outstanding service all around. I’d recommend them to anyone, 10/10!

Genuinely shocking service. Anisha Gupta did not respond to consecutive important enquiries about a policy cancelation that happened due to the company's poor administrative issues. Someone else ended up getting back to me after 4 emails and 2 voice messages - to then be told even though their systems weren't properly updated, my policy is still canceled and the only way to get a new policy is to be re-quoted at a higher rate due to the cancelation?
Poor customer service
Poor external comms

My dad has been coming here since 2015 and has never had a single issue. This is easily one of the best registries around. A huge shoutout to Shane—he is always so kind, helpful, and professional. He truly is one of the best in the business. Highly recommend
