Edit: May 26th, 2020 The manager of Samday Insurance in Van Huy's office called me and we have spoken about the policy and my review on Yelp. I've only had the policy for 8 days before I switched to progressive. He brought up some key points on how other insurance companies practiced selling their policies and how exhausting of searching for caring people that stand 100% on their products. He really believes in his services, and his hardworking employees and the great rates they're able to get. He explained everything in detail, where all my money was going, and being 100% honest. If you read the first review I wrote, I felt like they were hustling me. But it turns out they are hard-working people that really do care. Renee got me back to trusting them by reaching out and explaining a lot of things that I wasn't aware of in the State of California. Since I canceled my policy and I wanted to return to Samday Insurance, it was going to be another process. So I'm going to wait for my policy to end in 6 months and return to Sameday Insurance because it will save me money in the long run. With that said, after getting off the phone I called back 2 more times. And each time I was answered and was taken care of in a kindly matter. During those 2 times, I was able to get my premium returned from what I didn't use and most of the broker fee back. These are honest people. I'm confident to say they really care. Thanks Renee for reaching out and updating me with information. I'm satisfied doing business with Sameday Insurance. Original 5/20/2020 It's one of those hyped-up Insurance company that was recommended by a local car dealership. They're are the middle-man. They get paid by referrals and brokerage fees and saying they know this person. My agent was Anthony and he seemed cool at first, but I can tell he's in it for my money. $204 for broker fee and $130 for only 1 month of insurance is not worth it. He got me by saying it's a down payment and would go towards my first month and signup. After completed the verify documents in an email the insurance broker just sent a receipt. I didn't receive my policy number card or anything else in another email. I texted Anthony and asked if I can get my policy number. I have not heard from him. I tried calling the office and a person picked up, sounded like Anthony. And they transferred me to a voicemail. I had to log in to verify documents and research what I've got into. I have learned my lesson and I've should of read those documents thoroughly before signing. I would look elsewhere and not waste your time. Don't get rushed as I did and buy it right off the back. Please shop for other places and get different quotes. $203 broker fee is ridiculous. read more

Found out that my policy was cancelled - unknown to me - no email, no phone call, etc....due to a simple billing mistake. The only reason I found out is because I didn't see a charge on my card for that month and reached out to see what the problem was. Tried to reinstate my policy through Amax and they said no, I would need to find a new policy. They suddently "couldn't find" rates anywhere near to what I was paying...instead quoted me 500+ dollars more. They tried to claim it was because I had multiple at fault accidents (I did not) and told me my options were to either A) go to the DMV and resolve or B) sell my current vehicle and get another LOL. Asked them if they think I should reach out to my insurance provider directly vs. them, they said no and it would do me no good. Reached out to my insurance provider directly anyways and they reinstated my policy IMMEDIATELY with no penalty, no fees, etc. Not only this, but customer service is ALWAYS rude, uneducated on best practices, and unhelpful. Avoid if you can. read more

Place is a joke! Don't waste your time here, employees are not happy, sales are high pressure and Broker fees are high! read more

I do not recommend this place at all. They are scammers, they are rude and they treated me very poorly. They cancelled my policy unbeknownst to me and they sent a sketch letter explaining it was because of my ID. They charged me higher n higher the last few months and everytime I reached out they ignored me. They refused to send my id cards. Stay away from this place by all means. Edlin and Milkil both completely unprofessional although Milkil wasn't at first. Use any other insurance guys. read more

Just Horrible Service, Horrible Customer Service, Down Right Crooks.. I asked for Liability on a 97 Toyota 4runner and only had $120 to work with, because of my SSI Monthly check, A Sharon in the Van Nuys Office, said it will be $350 down $81 a month? Told her didn't have that, but could do another $120 next month, and $81 after that. Gave her my Bank Card info, 20 min later she took out $240 for A-Max, $112.80 for Safeway, = $352.80. Cost Me a fee of $240, for a $112.80 Policy and $81.33 a month, with NO Approvel, No signed documents, asked for a complete refund, Got the $240 back, NO $112.80, because A Max didn't send Safeway a cancelation notice, for that Refumd. Now disputing that charge with my Bank. Two Supervisors just kept giving me a Song and Dance, could Careless About that Complete REFUND!! All just keep in my 4Runner in the Driveway, Ride My Bike, Way Cheeper. read more

Edlin has been an amazing --knowledgeable, helpful, and always looking out for my best interests. She made the process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend her! read more

great services!! Angela was great in assisting me! She was patient and professional and extreme helpful!! Thank you, Angela! read more

SCAM AVOID This company utilises deceptive business practices to manipulate and take advantage of its customers. After cancelling my coverage for unsupported and frivolous reasons, I was offered a more expensive rate and charged $500. Unprofessional and predatory read more

Deceitful and Cowardice are the only words to describe this company. Avoid them at all costs. They will financially drain you as much as possible under "fees" and "contracts" while having absolutely no hesitation about hurting someone's livelihood. No shame or compassion. Avoiding phone calls and making false promises shouldn't be normal business practice. Presenting yourself as helpful and kind before completely shutting down all methods of communication is such a horrible way to treat honest paying customers just trying to do their best to survive, especially in this current economy. I recently purchased an auto policy through A-Max, speaking with both Angela & Brisa. Both assured me that the insurance market was difficult at the current moment but they would find the best policy possible. Two months later, I found they've been dishonest and withholding about the amount of fees required, as well as the complete details of my auto policy. Asking for another $300 to rectify the situation, I obliged, this time speaking with Kevin, who promised that things would be settled quickly. After a request for a refund and the reassurance that the money would be returned to my bank account within 24-48 hours...a week later, I've found no way to speak to anyone at the company, my policy has been incorrectly underwritten, and my bank cannot reach A-Max for clarification about this claim dispute on the money not returned to me as promised. Something that should have been a straightforward necessity is now affecting my financial standing and causing more stress than necessary. It's a painful lesson to learn but if I can help anyone else avoid being taking advantage of by A-Max/Same Day Insurance, so be it. Please, please do not give these people your business. Money is their bottom line and nothing else. Awful. read more

Rene saved the day! Thank gosh for this man he was a fountain of information which saved me from paying $1700. He will give u every option honest and thorough seriously he's the best! read more

I worked with Rene Gutierrez and he was very helpful. He helped me save nearly $200 monthly on my auto insurance with better coverage than what I currently have. Was even able to work with me on delaying the down payment so I could get a new policy today with the funds available. Great customer service! read more

Unfortunately, this company is very unprofessional and offers. Terrible customer service. I was calling to get a quote for Auto insurance, red flag number one - the line continued to ring, and they never picked up. No answering machine. Not too long afterwards I get a call back, but the person who answered the phone didn't state who they were or what company they represented, so I was confused as to who I was speaking to. As I was trying to figure out and ask clarifying questions the man on the phone sounded annoyed, and had an attitude, wasn't friendly at all, rude. In my opinion, you can already certain things about a company based on how they talk to customer/ potential customers over the phone. I was so turned off by this interaction that I told the rep never mind and can he can disregard the call. before I could even finish my sentence, he hung up in my face. If I were you, take your money and business elsewhere. read more

They are several insurance offices on this street, I had the good fortune to pick Same day Insurance and to be help by Renee. I can only say positive and wonderful things about this office and their agents, yes they are young but every time I stop by I always see the office well organized, clean and every body is working. Renee has been always on my side, he's courteous, efficient and helpful and for that I'm grateful. If you are looking to get insurance and great costumer service, this is the place to go. read more

I have been using Rene at Sameday Insurance for years. He has been able to consistently find me the best rates for my vehicles and businesses. I always refer my people to him. read more

I was that person going from city to city.. calling different spots for quotes..trying to find something in my budget . thankfully I finally found Anthony one of the most awesome and honest agents who gave me a really great deal ! He was very thoughtful of the situation I went through with my old insurance. 100 % WORTH IT !! Don't think twice about it ! read more

This place is straight to the point and gives the lowest rates possible. I spoke with Anthony and he was very nice and easy to speak with. He helped me get a low rate even though I have accidents on my record. He seemed to care about getting the best deal for me and not just making a sale. Highly recommend!! Call in and ask for Anthony. read more

Same Day Insurance has gone down the drain. My agent Rene was extremely rude to me multiple times when I was trying to get a lower rate for my car insurance and was advised by Rene to wait for his call back, a week later I'm still waiting on that call from Rene. I ended up calling another broker which found me a rate $150 lower than what I had with Same Day Insurance. This took me 30 min to get set up with a new policy, why couldn't Same Day Insurance do that for me? What's the point in having them as a broker if they will not do their job? In conclusion, be aware of hidden fees and charges from Same Day insurance and really hope they do not try and hide any extra costs/fees for you if you do decide to use their business, however, I hope they do not have your trust because they lost all trust from me. read more

Worst experience ever. Albert took my information down, charged my card, then said his system went down so he'd call me back in 15 minutes. Two hours later of me calling multiple times and being transferred around by other unprofessional workers who didn't seem to know what they were doing to care for the situation and none wanted to transfer me to a supervisor. Finally one lady tries to help me and puts me on hold and then a man answered and said hello and when I said hello he hung up. After this Albert my original agent calls me and apologizes and tells me he got busy and left to lunch break and forgot. At this point I was heated and felt scammed because no other agent could find my file or information and even see that he charged me. After I confronted him he got aggravated and said I'm giving him a headache and he doesn't want to deal with me so instead proceeds to refund my transaction and didn't want to put a super visor on and hung up. read more

As soon as I walked in I was greeted by Rene, he was nice and helpful and very knowledgeable. Any questions that I had he explained them throughly he made it easy for me to decide which policy was best for me. I would highly recommend asking for him! Thank You Rene I'm so happy with my new policy and with the customer service you provided. read more

Never ever ever get insurance from these criminals. They had me under 2 different carriers. Both ended up sending me to collections. Because my rep told me everything was taken care of and I had nothing to worry about took 300 deposit from me said would go toward my insurance but when I contacted my insurance they had no idea. The manager doesn't care. I told them to pay me back or leave me alone. But they kept calling and texting me to get new insurance. Bunch of kids working there taking advantage of people read more

I give this place one star because there is no way to give no stars at all. Brian Téllez. The most horrible, dishonest and not professional guy I have ever met. After having an accident and trying to fix it, I realized that what Brian told me he was putting on my policy did not match what the insurance company had. I will call the insurance and they will tell me to talk to my broker and then I called Bryan and he said to talk to the insurance. Horrible communication between parties. Then!!!! I got a copy of my policy and Bryan had falsified and signed documents with my dad's name. Documents I have never seen and those were not the documents he had made me signed over the phone. Listen people!!!! DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE and DO NOT go to Bryan Téllez. Worst of the worst Same day the general manager from same day insurance calls me and tries to explain what was the "mistake". She offered me an apology, which I gladly accept, but I still told her it was the worst experience ever! And then!!!!! She offered me to give me back the $91 broker fee that this horrible sales man Brian Téllez charged me if, only if, I erased and/or edit my review. How's that for a horrible, terrible company and customer service. I will repeat again, LISTEN PEOPLE!!!!! DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. read more

PLEASE READ BEFORE CONSIDERING DOING BUSINESS HERE: Same Day Insurance was recommended by the AuTO GALLERY (who are also crooks ). We thought going to a low budget business will be affordable. We spoke to Ryan for a quote on the phone. He requested the car info, vin#, etc. The quote amount was reasonable and decided not to look around. When we showed up to their office, the quote was double the price! We spoke to Ryan's manager, Brian, who was a complete COCKY Jerk! Very unprofessional! He said he was the BEST in the valley and we cannot do better elsewhere with the rate he was giving us. We did not do business with them. We called DAIRYLAND insurance and was given an excellent premium! We are happy and Brian should be ashamed of himself for representing the company like he did. CHECK DAIRYLAND insurance for an honest quote!!!!! read more

I wasn't looking for something cheaper, I was looking for someone who actually cared and would help people get the best auto ins quote. I received that in the beginning of my process, Erika helped me I thought "great found someone who cares and will take care of my auto ins needs" Wrong! - she tried to get money out of me the min I got there. Since I had already cancelled my insurance with the other company I had no other choice than to go with her and get the insurance. I kept it for 6 months. When we first went to her I asked her "if we decide to change insurance will there be an extra charge?" She said "no it'll be easy to do it" My 6 months were up and guess what it would be a fee of almost $180 just to switch me. Her response "let me see if my manager will bring it down" pffft he is a jerk "no thank you" I decided to go with State Farm! Great deal! I would recommend Pogos in Glendale. See my reviews. Bunch of crooks here. read more

By all means necessary CALL Same Day Insurance and ask for René. He helped my family into a plan where we can all afford auto insurance. René made it easy and painless to switch from Infinity to their company. He was extremely helpful going through all the details about my plan and what I'm covered for. This usually isn't a simple process, René made it possible to lower my premium to a reasonable price with as many discounts and benefits available. I can't thank him enough for his time and patience with us, he was INCREDIBLE! Thank you for everything my friend! read more

Renee has been handling my insurance for over a year now and I've been through 3 insurances! The initials, one he offered me at lower payments, and another for simple change of coverage. He has been a great help the whole way and has always been honest, fast, and communicative. I highly recommend him for anyone that what's to get great insurance customer service! read more

Sameday insurance is the absolute worst insurance agency I have ever had to deal with. I recently purchased a new car so I switched the policy from my old car to the new one. I knew there would probably be some fluctuation of price, but not as extreme as the quote they gave me. So, I just went ahead and stayed with the same policy because I didn't want to have to deal with finding another company. Well the following week I received two more bills saying I owed more money. At this point I started to get a little frustrated so I just went to the agents office in Van Nuys. Once there, Ernesto was the agent that began to help me. He also didn't understand what was going on with my bill so he went to his manger Bill and it took a few minutes, but found what the issue was. I had to pay more money again or the policy was going to be cancelled in the middle of the month. Well then I asked Ernesto if we could search and see if there were any cheaper rates we could find with another insurance company and he did. After he searched for a little while with Bill the conclusion was that they were the cheapest as Ernesto handed me my policy paperwork. I then asked Ernesto when my next payment would be due and he told me October 25th as he looked on the paperwork again and I repeated it back to him to make sure I heard and understood him correctly. Well the next week I received another bill saying I owed again on September 25th, then I became really upset because I feel like I have been lied to several times at this point. Well I call the office and Ernesto is not there so I speak with Bill the office manager and he tells me that he will have to check with Ernesto on the issue of the billing and that he would call me the next day. Well that call never came from him and I decided to start to research on my own to see if I could get a cheaper policy. Well guess what I did find a cheaper policy, in fact, $32 dollars cheaper each month with more coverage than they offered. So I purchased the new policy and I call to cancel with them and now they want to charge a $35 cancellation fee. UNBELIEVABLY, THE WORST INSURANCE AGENTS I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH!!!!!! So if your looking for car insurance, do your own research and make sure that your getting the right quote amounts and check with other agents in the area. They lied to me a few times and did not follow through with what Bill told me he would do. I am not sure who I will need to talk to, but I think it's an elected office. Yes it is, I just researched it and it's Dave Jones, which holds the office of the California Insurance Commissioner. I myself will never ever trust these agents again. read more

I was overpaying for my insurance and recently got a call following up from a rep named Sebastian. He did an amazing job helping me get a lower rate insurance and was very customer friendly. He took care of every question I had and made me feel comfortable while going through the rates and pricing. This is going to be my go to place for any family and friends that need insurance. I wish more places had guys like Sebastian that really take time to help you out and explain what's in front of you before signing anything. I give it a 10/10 in my book He's a good example of what makes a business stand out from just being any other regular Insurance place. read more

I had a great experience here at Sameday Insurance thanks to Erika Magna as she help me with my insurance, I went around shopping everywhere and the insurance for my car on the other places was $800 a month And I was able to get a better more decent price here Thank you ERIKA and the team of SAMEDAY INSURANCE read more

If you need them for anything different than hiring an insurance the agents are always busy or not working that day, Rene who's on the phone says is the manager will "try" to help you but just notice if you don't follow up yourself they simply ignore you. TERRIBLE customer service I DO NOT recommend entrusting your vehicle/house with this office. read more

Sameday insurance really helped me out when my driving record hit the dumps. They're awesome when it comes to customer service and communication. Bryan tellez is a steller agent. He got me some great coverage at an awesome rate compared to the other companies. If you have DUIs, tickets, accidents, no problem. Sounds like the cliche line but it's absolutely true. Call and ask for Bryan. He'll give you a quote and you won't be disappointed. read more

Not a bad place. Bit hard figuring out how to get in the building, buut overall good experience. Crystal was friendly and pretty quick with signing me up for insurance. May want to pull back a little on the emails - while still looking I recieved several from her, and one or two other agents. Not to mention phone calls. But I suspect that is part of what happens when looking at a place like compare.com (or a similar place) for insurance. Overall: I'm insured and it didn't cost me an arm and leg. And the process wasn't as painful as I thought it would be. read more

So I came to this place after searching for about a week for auto insurance. Simply put, Bryan gave me the best rate and an affordable down payment too. Pretty happy right now. read more

The agents from this office are courteous as you walk in and you are a new client. As time progresses, unfortunately that changes. They lied to my family about fees and the notes they have entered on their data base has been inaccurate at times. In my case, the monthly date to pay my policy and amount were incorrect. Over the phone the manager has been very cocky. Now my family is insured by USAA. read more

They most definitely are criminals beware! lesson learned and if you need cut rate insurance and an SR-22 AAA has brokers that help with that and you won't get ripped off these people do not care! They will charge more for the broker fee than the actual insurance costs! Another option is many brokers have a set fee I've found many with a fee of $50. They actually think people aren't smart enough to figure out they've been not only taken advantage of but downright screwed over read more

Went into Sameday insurance because I got a new car and was not happy with my previous agent. She always took forever to call me back. She finally gave me a quote for our cars and it was outrageous, that's when I decided to try Sameday insurance and I'm glad I did. Rene helped me out and he was great. I told him that I was on a time crunch and when I got there he had everything ready to go, I was in and out, best thing he had a very reasonable quote that fit my budget. Very pleased,Thanks Rene read more

Great service. Chrystal was great. She really took her time to find me the best rate. I went with this new agent . Try them. Everyone here is nice. read more

I know quite a bit about insurance, so lets start with that. I've done insurance for a living so i am very particular about who i do business with. I came here because i had activity on my record and i knew my rates were going to be ridiculous. I shopped around with plenty of other companies and every quote i got just left me even more disappointed than the last. Finally drove by this little spot and i decided, what the heck, I'll try them. Talked to Bryan Tellez and very glad i did so. This man not only got me a GREAT rate (with more than 3 points and a suspension), but he actually explained everything - something very few agents do in the business. From one agent to another, bravo. Keep up the great work. read more

Horrible service.. Got a quote over the phone made an appointment .Drove all the way from Simi Valley and when I got to place they didn't know about my appointment and didn't have any of my information in system. Was so frustrated had to walk out of place . read more

After shopping all day I was so tired of these companies and the gimmicks , but here he got straight to the point. Not only did Brian give me the best deal but he worked with me to personalize the policy. Honestly couldn't have been a better experience. Even the customer service was smooth and friendly. You should come check it out! read more
