It takes…read moretime to develop a relationship and for agents to really understand your personal and business needs, right? NOT so with Paul Demil! Paul and staff are friendly and personable right out of the gate. Although I'm an extrovert Paul tops me in that arena big time which had me take a couple steps back at first wondering if he was for real. I guarantee you, he is the REAL DEAL. Paul knows the insurance business inside and out and takes whatever time is needed for you both to understand how his agency can best serve your needs but he is a people person first. We have both personal and business policies through Paul Demil Insurance Agency. When I inquired about auto insurance, Paul had his staff do the research and he let us know he could not match our rate (we have special discounts via AARP). He looked at our policy and gave me some suggestions where to upgrade to give us the best coverage and this was with another insurance company! Paul and his staff are supremely responsive to my questions and take the time to make sure I understand the answer. They've given me a tremendous insurance education. During the October 2017 fires sadly, several of Paul's customers suffered losses. The upside of the devastation for these homeowners is that they had excellent insurance coverage. They were grateful to Paul for encouraging (nagging?) them to increase their limits to appropriately cover their needs. There were far too many homeowners (not insured by Paul) who lacked appropriate coverage and could not recover losses. Paul is not only an entrepreneur he's a husband, a dad, a musician, and a good neighbor. He and staff volunteer time in the community and continually give back to their hometown. I can't recommend Paul Demil Insurance Agency highly enough. Don't let Paul's exuberance for insurance and for life alarm you ; ) ... choose Paul Demil Insurance Agency and know that you truly are in good hands.

When I actually needed service, the tow was refused because the vehicle was considered commercial/oversized. This is a serious issue because I relied on the information given in person.

I'm now left dealing with a situation that could have been avoided with accurate information upfront.

Update 12/2/22 Amica…read morecame through and took care of the rental. I also got a genuine apology for the mistake (thus the increased number of stars). I still need to process the events that took place, but I'm willing to give Amica another chance based on this customer service experience. While mistakes are not ideal and create temporary stress, what matters more to me is that the company is willing to fix them. 12/2/22 After 30+ days of an absolutely disastrous claim service, Amica has dealt me a final blow that has me questioning whether I will be continuing to purchase policies with them in the future. Due to Amica's lack of transparency around what was happening with my car, Iris Cartagena called me and said that after speaking with an Amica supervisor, they would extend my rental an additional ten days (December 2nd). I take my rental in promptly at 8:30 am today and am wouldn't you know it - I'm faced with a $761.18 bill. When I inquire as to the breakdown (I expected something in the realm of $331), and wouldn't you know it I find out that despite Amica saying they would extend my rental 10 days they did not pay their share of the bill. I honestly didn't think my opinion of Amica could sink lower, but in this respect they have actually excelled. Now I have to wait while they "investigate". All I want is for this nightmare to be over. If they come back with anything less than a "our mistake" I think I'm done. My family have been loyal Amica customers for over two decades, I myself have been an Amica customer for one decade. And I am honestly considering taking up insurance with someone else. Money is tight living in California, and although it gave me a panic attack I had the money to pay, but imagine if I didn't. Imagine YOUR family receiving this shock. Then ask yourself, is Amica living up to its brand name? And is this what I'm paying for? Amica I call on you again to investigate your west coast branches. Particularly whoever is servicing Northern California. This isn't right and it is killing your brand loyalty.

Been with Amica for over a decade - I have car and home rental insurance thru Amica. (I've had some…read moregreat experiences in the past with adjusters Martin Medina and Joshua Ziegler). My current experience with adjuster Kellee Green has been the worst of my life. Firstly, I was asked to sit quietly and listen to a call between the tow lot and my Amica Appraiser - on that call I heard my appraiser on the phone with tow lot say that he could not go to the tow lot where my car was towed to appraise it. He clearly stated he couldn't go but would the tow lot please take 70 photos and email them to his email address. Two weeks later I was still waiting for an appraisal. Keep in mind that I am paying for a rental and Amica is only covering 20%. Amica blamed the tow lot despite me having heard them decline to go there. On a Monday I emailed Kellee the name of my chosen collision repair shop. On Tuesday I called the repair shop to make sure they had the claim and they said "never heard of it". I was then asked by Kellee Green to see if the collision shop could tow my car from CoPart to The collision center in Los Angeles. I asked the collision center and he replied "you can't do that bc Amica has to assign me the claim". At that point - the collision center person and I called Amica together to get the claim assigned since Kellee Green failed to do so. When the collision center went to retrieve my car - it had not been released by Amica so he was held up in that process as well. It's three weeks later and I'm still paying for the rental. The car is finally at the shop waiting for parts. I was told today that if I needed to be reimbursed for the remaining cost of the rental (it will be almost six weeks total when repairs are complete) then I needed to reach out to insurer of the party at fault myself. I have to do it myself like every step in this process. So if you want to pay for insurance but "do it yourself" go Amica. You will not find customer service here.

My policy was with 5 cars, a house, and a boat, so it was a significant amount of money each year. Several thousand dollars for full coverage. I called and asked if there was any way I could get a lower rate and was told I could reduce my coverage, but that was the only way. I shopped around and found a company that offered a little better coverage for $1200 per year less, so I called Jor-Jean to cancel my policy but again had to do it through her assistant. Jor-Jean called me the next day to discuss all the ways should could save me money. Unfortunately she was a day late... When she realized I was moving on to another company she started in with an attitude, which is what prompted me to write this review. Jor-Jean, had you ever made an effort to contact me back after the times I called we might still be conducting business. If you had a bunch of ways to save me money, why didn't you do it to start with before I had t Your attitude when we spoke was rude. A really poor way to conduct business. Instead of the nasty attitude you should have offered a "thank you for helping to support me." Update: Joe-Jean contacted me after our first conversation and she apologized and owned the down-fall from our business transaction. I agreed to have her re-quote my policies but the rates went up even higher. Thank you for your contact with me Joe-Jean.
