I've NEVER NEVER EVER HAD NO BAD EXPERIENCE WITH ( AMICA ) They've always been kind with the local office an the outside customer service operators when I've ever had a question about my policy. I'm not really looking to change to somewhere else. I do get curious at times just to see if anyone else is cheaper than Amica, so far no one else has been able to beat Amica so I'm sticking with Amica. Thank You For Having the Best an Greatest Coverage on my vehicle an home. Keep up the GREAT WORK :)
Most Critical Review
December 12, 2018
If I could give zero stars, I would. We spoke with a representative [Michael Young] and he got us set up for a policy on a house we're planning to close on. We waited for confirmation on the policy, and waited, and waited. As the closing date approached, we received a call from him saying to give him a call back, no big deal. We did, no return call. Tried multiple times over the next four days. Nothing. Sent emails, called again. Find out through another call [again still can't get a hold of Michael] that they just need confirmation that we'll handle a small bit of left over mold [which our inspector said was not a problem] withing 30 days of closing. Sure thing! We'll handle that. Meanwhile, our loan officer is trying to get a hold of them as well to finalize details. Finally get a call TWO DAYS before closing to hear they will not be able to insure us. Thanks AMICA for making home buying so stressful! We'll be sure to let everyone know how "helpful" you are.
