- KSK SamDec 16, 20255.0My father booked a trip with my brother and I with Oleksandra and she was amazing. Highly recommend using her if you are travelling. She made sure everything was in order for our trip.
- EMElizabeth MulhollandNov 20, 20255.0Excellent, knowledgeable and friendly professional service
- ABAlina BoykoNov 18, 20255.0Super service! Loved a single moment while at the branch. Jen was super helpful, friendly and professional in every single detail. I came to get some information for the application and walked out with what I needed in less than 10 minutes!
- CECassandra EdwardsOct 24, 20255.0Anyone currently searching for auto insurance in our broken province knows how painstakingly difficult it is to get through; and to find a rate that doesn’t break the bank as a new driver. After days of elevator music for endless hours at a time, sometimes even hearing that dreaded “click” before ever reaching a human, I had the great fortune of crossing paths with Haley. She was everything I needed and more in that moment. Upbeat, kind, and patient while being meticulous and extremely informative. Bonus points for setting me up with a policy that works perfect for me in no time. She excels at what she does and because of her AMA has one more loyal customer. Thank you Haley, for being a light at the end of the tunnel, and for making this girls day! You’re truly appreciated.
- AHAmy HerrmannOct 20, 20251.024 hour service, but if you call at 7 pm, be prepared to wait until 11 am to have your car unlocked with no explanation other than “we can’t come tonight.” Save money on a membership by just paying a towing company as needed.
