I filed a water damage claim. AAA sent over a company that took a piece out of my hardwood floors to test for asbestos. My AAA agent did this before we knew if AAA was covering the hardwood floors. Turns out AAA was not covering my hardwood floors, and my AAA agent, Tracy, in Texas, denied having sent someone and implied that I created the damage to my floors! Luckily, the company had sent me the report, which clearly stated AAA requested the service they conducted. No apology, zero accountability for lying and trying to rip me off. I had to hire a public adjuster to help me deal with these crooks. We filed a complaint with the insurance commissioner as well. Even after trying to commit fraud, they’re still nickel and diming me. We’ve been customers for over 30 years, and AAA has had zero regard for our loyalty. I will definitely be shopping for a new homeowners insurance company.

HORRIBLE INSURANCE COMPANY!!!! I had wind and hail damage from a storm in June 2022. AAA did not pay for the gutter damage from the storm even though I have photos of the damage. I paid for my homeowner's insurance for years. When you have a true claim they do not cover you. DO NOT BUY INSURANCE FROM THIS COMPANY! THEY TAKE YOUR MONEY AND SCREW YOU IF YOU HAVE A CLAIM!!!

When I first signed up around February 2023 I was mislead to believe that I was Gouna get reimbursed for the items that were in my vehicle and because I didn't have a receipt for my expenses that was also stolen. When my vehicle got stolen they denied my claim which was so wrong. I had even talked to other agencies and they all told me the same thing such as Allstate, State Farm and others and my thing was if my insurance claim was 2500 with a 500 dollars deductible why couldn't they give me the 2000 dollars.
I think that was wrong to deny my claim and the agencies told me it's not required to have the receipt although it makes it easier. But if my vehicle gotten stolen with the receipts in the car what happens if someone house burned down they won't have any receipts either if they got burned up with their products and so to proceed I called triple A and requested a refund for the 75 dollars. I'm gonna dispute that because they only gave me 52 dollars which I am disappointed. I wouldn't go to triple A for anything. They are scammers.

The local insurance company that handled my AAA insurance was notified that I had a divorce. Many many times that I spoke with them over the next year and more I repeatedly had them say I had no account and then after giving my address they said "oh here it is under your wife's name." Each time this made me very angry and I requested that they make a change to my name. My insurance rates had gone up repeatedly and even though I had reason to see if my home qualifies for repairs, no repairs were approved and no repairs were done. But my rates went up 5000.00 more than the normal rate anyway. So eventually these issues forced me to cancel them after using them for over a decade of loyalty.
They sent a refund for 6k because the yearly fee of 7k had just been paid by the mortgage company. But in my ex wife's name. I tried to get her to cooperate so I could return it to the mortgage company. She Instead cancelled the checks and had corporate AAA send her the new checks and she cashed them. AAA corporate basically told me that they had to follow policy. That they were not doing anything wrong but she was committing fraud. The law enforcement agencies and insurance bureau said they couldn't do anything. The d.a. said they were helpless. And my ex wife is laughing at me claiming she is completely in the right. So if you like being screwed over like a ** who hates life and loves pain be my guest and get insuraaance. And get ready to feel the pain.

My claim experience was so bad that, when I cancelled the policy, the agent who sold me the policy told me he probably would have done the same thing. The whole process took about six months and the desk adjuster repeatedly ignored me, so I often had to ask my agent to contact her for me. After a hailstorm, AAA agreed to replace half of the roof (overlooking hail damage on the other half) and told me to repair the siding, but wouldn't replace it. That type of siding was no longer manufactured and, after repeatedly explaining this to the desk adjuster, I threatened to file a secondary claim because the interior water damage was visibly worsening. She still refused to replace the other half of the roof and changed the reason every time we sent in pictures to answer the previous reason. She also refused to issue a denial of the supplement request and told me in writing that she would not issue a denial letter.
She sent an engineer who claimed that there was no hail damage anywhere on the roof and issued a strongly worded denial letter, although she did agree to replace a roof vent that she had previously claimed was only damaged after the initial inspection. The engineer's report was dubious and it referred to 3-tab shingles, but the roof had architectural shingles, and this was not the only flaw. I reminded the adjuster of her earlier written statement that she wouldn't issue a denial letter, but she said it didn't count.
After completing the approved work, I sent in pictures and receipts and asked for payment, but after multiple emails and five weeks of waiting, no payment was sent. Through my agent, I threatened to report it to the state, at which point payment was sent with an apology for the "oversight." After completing a post-claim survey, I got a call from the adjuster's manager who defended the decision. I asked for evidence of the engineer's expert credentials, and he sent the engineer's own resume which showed no training in roofing or construction. He had an engineering degree and had worked a series of unrelated jobs. When I pointed this out, the adjuster's manager did not refute it, but told me in writing that AAA stood by the report.

My parents have been with AAA for 57 years and have all of their insurance with AAA (car, home, blanket). They live in Orange County Southern California, where we have been experiencing extreme rain and storm damage. Their roof started leaking when the rain season started, and in addition to the roof damage there is considerable water damage to portions of the interior of the house (ceiling collapse, walls, wood flooring).
The adjuster came and inspected the situation and AAA then denied the claim because the damage is not caused by storm damage, and explained that there is a clause in their policy that says the roof leakage has to be caused by something like a tree falling on the roof to open it up. It does not cover leakage and damage caused by wind and rain. When the adjuster was doing the inspection he said that the claim was going to be denied for the reasons stated above, and said that he was very sorry. He also said that he had worked to as an adjuster for other home insurance companies that did not have that special clause in their policies and that would not have denied this claim. Needless to say I'll be changing all of their insurance policies to different companies, but unfortunately it is too late for this damage/claim. I wish I had known about this situation before the damage occurred.

I just received a cancellation notice because of “4 not-at-fault “ incidents. I have had AAA as my carrier for several years, with a bundle home/auto policy. I have never made a flood/hurricane/fire/robbery claim in that entire time. The 4 “not-at-fault” incidents are all auto: 1 was a rear end collision and his insurance covered it in total, the other 3 are WINDSHIELD REPAIR!!! REPAIR, NOT REPLACE…EACH TAKING 5 MINUTES OR SO. I thought I was doing the responsible thing by reporting when there was just a little chip so that it could be repaired and not replaced which would be costlier!!!
Living near all this new construction makes the stones and pebbles pretty hazardous but they have taught me not to do the right thing...just wait till it shatters and needs a major repair. This decision came down from the Florida Automobile Underwriting Association and cannot be appealed. Obviously they are using every excuse in the book to not insure homes in Florida. It should not be allowed! Fraudulent!

Hail storm in 2016. All of my neighbors got new roofs and mine was significantly damaged according to a local roofing expert. AAA sent two adjusters both of whom must have been blind because they both said "no damage." Problem is, my roofer took pictures of all the damage. Yet, they still denied the claim. After I kept appealing the denial, AAA eventually gave me money for hail damage to my aluminum siding. Imagine that, the hail damaged the sides of my house but completely missed my roof according to AAA. AAA will be glad to collect your premiums but good luck getting them to pay a claim.

I have been with AAA for better than 6 years. Last year I had a small kitchen fire. It took the claims person 8 months to approve my contractor's proposal. He had to rewrite it 7 times. Took months for the claims person to approve it. Then the claims person told me my contractor's prices were too high. These last 11 months have been hell. I am still living in boxes because of them. Once I get my home back to where it was, I am going to drop them like a hot plate. I thought going to AAA, being a good name was the way to go. Wrong!!! Never again.

After months of their losing papers and giving incorrect information the State of TX had to intercede to force them to non activated policy. This company has independent groups and rules and the kept sending my call to California. I have sent proof of insurance with another company and out of spite they turned over a bill to collection that is going to court. AAA states they can not stop it even though they admit I had another company. It has been a horrible experience for over a year. I can not go to court due to an issue that may require a leg amputation. Do not use this company. The agents tell you there is coverage that is not there. If it takes months to go through all the required photos and documents, I can not imagine how bad and slow their claims process is. The current response is that once in collection there is nothing they can do to stop it. No way to cancel even with proof of their fraud.
I tape all calls with companies for cases like this. Most are a bit more subtle. AAA does not bother with customer service. They need an investigation. One more warning. One person will admit receiving information but another on the same day will say there is no evidence of receipt. They have passed bad service. This is knowingly providing false information. There are better companies. Check them out first.

I recently switched insurance companies from Geico to AAA to save money. Ali at the Bakersfield office was very helpful and courteous. He gave me a good price so I agreed to switch. Three weeks later I get an email from his underwriter telling me they made a mistake and my policy was going up by $560. Needless to say I was furious. Why do I have to pay for their mistakes? Now I am stuck with a higher bill than I was paying before, after all the headache of switching over. Stay away from this company. They drastically over insure so they can charge you more money.

When I called to find out why I am being overcharged, I was told there was nothing to be done, other than increasing my deductible. No discounts for smoke detectors, no claims, or any of the other discounts listed on the CA summary page. I was told that because construction costs had increased and because of fires, my premium increased by 120% in a 3-month period. I am actively shopping for a new carrier...

The Huntsville Al branch is the laziest people in the world, especially "Amy **". Me and my family have been without water since Oct 2021, we are using the neighbor's showers as the pipe is busted underneath the slab and pours water into my home. Their policy says they are entitled to provide access to the leak but they refuse because it's underneath my kitchen cabinets and tiled floor. I have had to contact a lawyer and the health dept. Please, I beg you guys to not use AAA as your insurance company, you will regret your decision! They will NOT help you, they are liars and thieves!

I called AAA to purchase homeowner insurance. Made $1400 payment in full, signed document online and agent said they will provide evidence of insurance (EOI) so I could close my loan. After that, I couldn't get a hold of that agent to get my EOI despite multiple tried. Then I called customer service line, they couldn't get a hold of him, gave me his supervisor info. Of course, no one could get a hold of him either. After several calls, reps and supervisor kept telling me because it takes weeks for it to show in system that's why they can't get EOI for me other than the original agent and his sụp. And then kept telling me it will be escalated.
It's been over week of calling/talking to AAA management and of course I still didn't get my EOI and what even more frustrating that I couldn't even cancel to get my money back because only that original agent can do it. How ridiculous is that. This costs my loan to not close on time and I was surprised how fishy AAA is in handling this. If I could give a minus star, I would.

Multiple family members and I had both HOI and auto. AAA changed our auto billing to 10 months without telling us and despite many calls wouldn’t change it back. Now they are coming after a cancellation fee after spending months refusing to change our billing when they promised they would. We were on the phone with AAA four months in a row, over two hours each time trying to get this fixed. They would promise it would be fixed and it wasn’t. AAA bombs you with letters that are impossible to read. Steer clear of this company, there is a reason they have a F rating with the BBB.

The insurance manager at the city of Rancho Cucamonga CA branch openly discriminated and when the matter was reported to his immediate boss. He tried to shove the matter under the carpet. I was persistent to get answers. Ultimately the VP sales got involved and he being from a Middle eastern origin tried to put the lid on the matter. When the matter got reported to the California Insurance commissioner he openly denied the facts. The facts that I have a paper trail of discriminatory attitude from the branch manager. Talk about arrogance and racial discriminatory cover up AAA. The letter of apology was promised via email. The letter never made it to me VP operations contact information was denied to me.

My experience with AAA has been a fairly good one. Combining auto with home insurance gave me a great discount. The first agent that worked with me was very diligent and was able to save me a great deal of money, however the 2nd year around they were no longer working in that department and I received a less than personal degree of service. I don't think the business of insurance has become all that personal anymore.

I live in a townhouse. Our neighbor and I had our roofs redone at the same time. We have now have a leak several years after and cannot seem to find where it is coming from. The roofer said it's not from him and has come out to check it out - has to be from him! It only leaks when it pours hard for an extended period of time. Thankfully that hasn't happened much over the months living in Florida. The leak is in my husband's closet where we have had to move everything out. At times rain pours through the light fixture into a cooler that we have underneath to catch the water. AAA nor Belfor Restoration can find the leak and we have been dealing with this since August 1, 2020. They said they would send an engineer out however this has yet to happen.
I have been a AAA member for over 25 years and this is how we are treated. Not fair at all. I have let 11 message with my Rep and the home office has left messages for them to contact me. Haven't heard from them since September and now he calls and says he's closing my claim. Sorry but it ain't happening. Never had AAA home ins before and only got it because they cover mold and another neighbor has them. WELL at this time they have not covered anything. We have tried to patch what we can however my husband is terrified of heights since we have 2 roof levels and is not a handyman at all. When all said and done I am not happy with this company and will be trying to find another very soon! AAA home insurance SUCKS!!!

I have been a AAA member for over 27 years (one way or another). I received a letter saying they no longer could insure my home because the dangers of my house location. I called and asked what Dangers and they could not answer after several attempts (intimidation)? I later received another letter stating I had to have a video review of my home (invasion of privacy). After the video, was contacted by phone stating they wanted to see permits (harassment).
In that same phone conversation, I told the person that I wanted to see the renewal amount and then we could talk. I received my renewal and AAA gave me a 40% increase on my policy. Bottom line is after the intimidation, invasion of privacy and the harassment, I will not renew my homeowners, auto and Roadside Service with this terrible company... Just check the reviews on AAA's reputations on paying claims (or lack of). They like "Kicking the Can Down the Road" (a claim), but really kick the policy owners to the curb.

It came as a shock. In 43 years of purchasing homeowner insurance, AAA is the first and only time I’ve been canceled – for any policy. Why? “The condition of the roof on the dwelling presents an increased exposure to weather-related losses and makes the policy ineligible.” I would appreciate if you would let me know what roof condition concerns you, because I would like to address it, for my own sake. The roof was replaced in 2013, professionally installed with top quality shingles and does not leak. The old roofing materials were completely removed. There’s only one layer of shingles (using nails, not staples), along with underlayment materials and extra underlayment for valleys. I provided your agent with proof of the roof’s age and you sent an inspector who photographed my house and could easily see that the house is in great upkeep.
I suspected service would be lacking because after paying the premium, I couldn’t get any answers about the policy from the local AAA agency. They didn’t respond to emails or phone messages. A decent agent would have called me regarding the roof issue and termination. I suppose I’m lucky to be rid of you, before I had a claim.
I certainly don’t want to continue doing business with AAA. I can only imagine what trouble you would give me in the event of a claim. I’ve never had any home claim in the 43 years I’ve lived here. I don’t casually switch insurance companies, and will return to my prior carrier, a little more expensive, but with excellent service, according to friends who have made claims, and very responsive. But, I would appreciate, as a courtesy, if you would share with me your concern about the condition of my roof, as I will surely address any important issue. I want to continue my sterling record of no claims.

I called Triple A looking to combine my auto and home insurance policy to save money. The agent quoted me a price and sent an assessor to my home to finalize the quote. The price assessed price to combine my insurance was double the over the phone quote. I decided not to go with them for homeowners insurance and kept my auto insurance.

We are victims of both the Tubbs Fire (October 2017) and most recently the Glass Fire (September 2020). We purchased home insurance from AAA after our previous insurer increased our rate from $1700 to $4400 per year. We paid our premiums for approximately 1 year, when the Glass Fire hit. Luckily, our home was not destroyed as many of our neighbor’s homes were. We however, sustained significant damage to our property, to the tune of approximately $450,000. We submitted a claim immediately and an AAA adjuster came out to assess the damage. He admitted this was his first assignment as an adjuster and he was woefully unprepared. We received an $8,000 check as “settlement for our claim”, which we did not cash.
We hired a third party adjuster to deal with AAA on our behalf, which has resulted in no cooperation whatsoever. We were assigned a new adjuster and an assistant, neither of whom will talk to us directly, in direct violation of California Insurance Code 15027 v (3). It’s been over 4 months and AAA has not paid a single dime against this claim, despite several letters requesting interim payments to reimburse us for our “out of pocket” expenses. They continue to delay and obfuscate by requesting receipts from the Tubbs Fire, current vendors performing the work we are paying out of pocket, etc. They refuse to respond to these same vendors when contacted directly for payment. The bottom line is that AAA is a bottom feeder and is not living up to its obligations as a reputable insurer. Do not buy insurance from AAA, no matter how cheap. They are disreputable scammers.

Maria ** Complainant against AAA Automobile Club of Southern California under claim# **. On May 20, 2020 at about 5:45 am trying to get ready for my lung biopsy needle procedure. My sister – Amelia ** was screaming stating water all over the place especially in her bedroom, living room, kitchen, and bathroom. Almost entire first floor rooms were flooded. I went ahead and shut down the main water valve outside the house. I called a plumber and have my brother – James ** assisted him since I was on my way to the Saddleback hospital at that time. While on my way to the hospital I also called AAA Automobile Club of Southern CA and reported the incidence. I spoke with Ms. Jessica ** and provided me claim#**. Ms. Jessica ** stated that someone or an adjuster will be calling me. I mentioned to Ms. Jessica ** to speak with my daughter Elaine ** for now due to my health condition.
When I came back from hospital the plumber along with Procore restoration told me that slab leak was from caused by hot water high pressure. Due to water trying to find the way out it causes water leakage spread out even between the slab and tile caused a tile to crack and others with hallow sound or ready to pop. I cannot really communicate or talked that much to my plumber (Chris) and Procore (Mr. Gerardo **) at that time due to just got out from hospital. They were respectful and understood what I am going through. They all made sure water shut down and advise us to call my insurance to get a temporary shelter.
In spite of my health condition I have been trying to contact my adjuster Mr. Sean ** but most of the time either he is not there or our schedule does not tag along. On May 22, 2020 I talked to him about our situation. Mr. Sean ** mentioned that he is going to send Serv Pro. I said I already committed with ProCore restoration team/ Premier and as an insurer I have the rights to get who I wanted. I told him that I trusted my team and they will be my spoke persons due to my health condition.
I was scheduled to have a lobectomy and trying to recuperate but all of these just got aggravated big time. Instead of me recuperating from my health issues talking with AAA adjuster Mr. Sean ** made it worst physically and mentally especially when I spoke with him on May 22, 2020. Mr. Sean ** kept saying it is time for him to go or go home. I kept telling him that I just got out of the hospital and scheduled for surgery. He is not concerned about what my health conditions. Instead he kept saying it is time for him to go home. Mr. Sean ** customer service was really aggravated my health conditions. I told Mr. Sean ** that the ProCore team are starting the restoration and my family needed a temporary shelter. Mr. Sean ** kept telling that without the plumbing status of work it cannot be done. He kept telling me that he needs to go now or go home then he said, "You can talk to my supervisor."
So, I went ahead and talked to his supervisor Ms. **. She told me that we can go ahead and find somewhere to stay and call back Tuesday May 26, 2020. I told Ms. ** that Mr. Sean ** specifically told me that without the status of work from plumber we cannot do that and I don’t want to jeopardize that. I told Ms. ** as well please be aware that it’s long weekend (due to Memorial Day weekend) hard to get book for hotel at anywhere. I told her that the total persons live in my house are nine (9). It is hard to get a house or hotel. It will cost a lot to get a hotel to accommodate all of us. I also told her my health conditions that I am trying to recuperate but instead Mr. Sean ** aggravated it.
I am very pleased with ProCore restoration (Mr. Gerardo **) and Premier Restoration Services Inc. (Mr. James **) for helping me all the way. My team really do an excellent job. They are professionals and knowledgeable. They are my representative especially Mr. James ** from Premier Restoration. From the reports I have been getting from AAA investigators such as Paley, Soil inspector, and so forth I will say Premier Restoration Services Inc and ProCore restoration are more honest, knowledgeable and experts. They are highly recommendable, I don’t understand why in the beginning Mr. Sean ** change his way of dealing with my claim after I explained I am going to use my own people. I feel like after I told him I am going to use my own people he was mad and I believe the delays I am going through is out of retaliation of not using his contractors. I am sorry I can use his contractors. Even their repair contractor made a mistake with the drywall in the garage. I don’t trust their contractor.
We have been with AAA Automobile Club of Southern California members for so long approximately 30 years. We bought our house on November 6, 2018 and use AAA as home insurance. Now that I am getting these bad experiences from AAA no doubt that 30 years being a member will end. AAA adjuster Mr. Sean ** and his team made us stays in Airbnb from May 29, 2020 up to now. AAA is paying for that temporary shelter and I thank them for that but that’s not cost effective at all.
AAA are doing lots of investigations wasting time instead of resolving the issues and get it done. Proofs been submitted but they wanted their own results and hire their own people that they can manipulate the results. They hired Paley Stone & Tile Forensics also known as Atlas to investigate. Our existing tile was discontinued, which meant insurance should pay to replace the existing floor. Paley Stone & Tile Forensics was hired to lie and provide a report so that AAA would not be liable.
I just don’t know why AAA kept sending their hired experts to investigate my property when all proofs provided. I am not an expert or good at plumbing, maintenance, and so forth but I have common sense that I can see what’s going on. he water leak or flooding was beyond my or our control. I don’t believe AAA is handling my claim with good faith, because they are taking too long. They don’t give me information I have to ask Mr. James ** to get me an update. When he asks them for information they take a long time to answer. Sometimes he has to remind them they are supposed to respond by a certain time, and then finally they respond. For example the Policy. It took over 3 weeks to produce my policy. If it take that long to produce my policy then how can the adjuster make coverage determinations.
I believe this is Mr. Sean ** way of discriminating against me because I did not use his contractor. If they is the way he is bullying me that’s not how you do business. This whole claim is taking too long. I want to get back to normal as soon as possible. I read other complaints online about AAA and now I see those complaints are true, because I am living the same experience.

Recently we had to file for damages on our dwelling for roof damage. I was shocked to find that our $2500.00 deductible was actually $7000.00 with AAA's ACV damage program. We did sign up for a full coverage program, but as soon as our roof reached the 10 year mark, (now 12) they automatically added the ACV endorsement to our 12 year old roof. What a shock. The $2500.00 was expected, the additional high cost was not. Taking out a 6500.00 loan on our home is the only option to complete the repairs. Buyer beware. Our complaint with our State Insurance Corp. has yet to receive a response. Either way, this company looks good on the outside, but no so much on the inside.

I have been a member of AAA for 38 years. This year I switched my home insurance for my newly renovated home from AAA. The representative asked me dozens of questions about every detail of the house and he directed me remotely to take photos of every room and outside. Subsequently a policy was issued, I paid for a year in advance and I informed the old insurance company to cancel the old policy. A couple of weeks later I received a 30 day cancellation notice from AAA without any specific reason. After several attempts I was able to contact the AAA rep for an explanation.
After that he called me back to ask for all the renovation permits and all the invoices; I provided volumes of documents and the rep told me that he will forward it to the underwriter and that he will call me back. I tried to follow up with him numerous times, leaving messages and sending several emails; as we got closer to the cancellation date, I gave up and I obtained new insurance through Costco within two days without all the hassle and at a lower premium and they gave me free roadside assistance as well! It is unfortunate because AAA used to have great service.

We had a really bad rainstorm the early part of 2019. With strong winds, water was coming inside our kitchen, and it looked like a waterfall. Our ceiling was bubbled, and started coming down, our kitchen cabinets started to separate from the walls. We noticed the walls in our bedroom were waterlogged, and under the head of our bed, the carpet was drenched. We called AAA to come do a claim on the kitchen and bedroom. They sent this girl out, who took some photos, told us to get some contractors' estimates, and she would get back to us in a few days...Over a week later, it's starting to stink of mold in our bedroom, my wife has asthma and her breathing started getting worse, she ended up in emergency with a major attack.
The Doc. told us to stay in a hotel until AAA can rip out the carpet and pad...Still nothing from AAA...Over 2 weeks later, and lots of phone calls to AAA, and still no answer, I had to hire a contractor to remove a whole wall from the ground up, 3 quarters of the ceiling, all the insulation, and replace with new drywall, insulation, etc. Now, AAA finally calls back, and tells us that since we did the work in the bedroom, they won't pay for it...NOW, in the meantime they find out there are a bunch of roofing tiles gone from the roof, and the roof is exposed, that's where the water came in from...We got 3 quotes from contractors to restore our kitchen walls and cabinets.
AAA sent their guy in to give us an estimate, and he says they can't do the work. Then AAA says the quotes are too high, and "they aren't in the business of remodeling kitchens."? The house is over 30 years old, and the kitchen has never been remodeled...It was in perfect working order, and we just want it replaced with comparable cabinets. AAA then tells us, "We should have used their contractor in the beginning"... Their guy said he couldn't do the dang job! She wouldn't approve any contractor I found, AAA's payout to us would be $18,000 to do the roof, bedroom, kitchen! The lowest bid we can find is from Sears at $32,000 just to get the kitchen back to where we can put our dishes back, and cook!
The roof is estimated at $4000...The bedroom was $3,500. Total for the whole thing is $39,500. We're not asking for AAA to pay for the 2 weeks in a hotel, or any other expenses we had to incur...We pay our premiums on time, every month, year after year! AAA should have our backs! AMENDMENT: It's now July 6th 2020....and STILL no working kitchen, we had to pay for the roof and bedroom out of pocket.

I had a very bad experience when it came time to use my homeowner's insurance and file a claim after a hail storm. I have a house that is 13 year old. I was told that only a small part of it had received damage from that particular storm and I could not have any other parts covered, and in fact after my 1000 deductible was paid I would have to go after the depreciated value to get more back (so essentially hardly any money was going towards the repair).
I was not going to be able to get the rest repaired (even though it would never match) because it was from another storm, and it was cosmetic at this time. Now, I have never used my homeowner's insurance, but it goes up every year and I pay it. So, from there it only got worse, as I brought a roof contractor in and he got blown off, even though the claims agent said he was going to work with us after I had called the AAA office of ILLINOIS. Anyhow, I have to bite the bullet in costs to get roof repaired and dump AAA. I will be telling everyone that asks me.

I had a large branch off of a very large tree fall on my garage and backyard fence. AAA sent an adjuster who began our encounter lecturing me about how "some people" want to get their damaged property improved not just repaired. He was obviously insinuating that I was going to do this. I have a 1924 craftsman house is an historic neighborhood. My detached garage was knocked off square, the roof was penetrated gutter and soffit was torn off, and roof rafters were split. The 6' wooden fence was splintered as well as the entryway.
Two cost estimates from a reputable fence firm for the fence was between 5800.00 (if I wanted the archway entryway reconstructed) to 3800.00 if I just wanted a standard gate. I submitted the full replacement quote to the adjuster and was told that they would not pay for the 8' (out of 35') that the main tree had occupied.. The fence was built around the tree. I had to pay 4000.00 to have the tree removed myself and 3' of good fence was taken out to allow the arborists to access the 5' diameter tree to remove it. I sent the adjuster the smaller quote of 3800.00 without the archway and told him I would pay for 800.00 of the cost for the 8' of tree length. They sent me 1200.00.
The garage repair was problematic. Two contractors refused to even quote the job to square up the garage due to liability issues. I insisted that the adjuster contract a structural engineer to determine if the garage could be fixed. Seven months later and a call to his supervisor finally got the engineer on site. I was pleased to hear that the garage can be straightened. In the meantime I had a quote to reroof the garage, sister the rafters, replace the gutter and screens, soffit, and brace the interior..12,000.00. I had the garage insured for 30,000.00.
Final total: Max cost via quotes for garage, limb, and fence..max: 17,300.00.Total AAA paid: 6349.00... with depreciation added 8184.77.
My cost including 1000.00 deductible: over 9000.00.

I had AAA flood insurance in Tampa, FL for over 20 years and every year they increased my rate by over $100. When I had an Elevation survey done I called them to refund premiums. They said, "Oh we only will refund for the current policy" even though they over charged me about $1400 a year for about 20 years. I told them I got a new Quote. It would be only $826 a year instead of $2,225 a year 2019-2020 price. They somehow stated, "Oh no. The new insurance quote you got from a totally different company can't be right." They said it should be $1568 a year. I went right away to sign up for the new policy and was advised by the agent, "Oh the insurance company called me back and stated they should charge you $1553."
FYI as of 7/2019 new Florida law states that private market flood insurance companies can replace the previous mandatory and only option available was FEMA insurance for flood. Now if you have a conventional loan you have the option of obtaining private flood flood insurance instead. AAA only does FEMA insurance by the way. Long story short they were saying, "Well what do you have in your garage? What kind of equipment." Why so they could look for things to raise my rate in order to not give me a fair quote for the flood insurance based on the elevation certificate. I talked to them every day for a week either by email or phone.
Finally talked to underwriter cause they were asking for pictures of my garage which they already had from the elevation certificate pictures. Underwriter said, "Oh ok I see the roof line. I will fix this and in 48 hours your refund will be processed." Called back 2 days later nothing. She I told her was documented. They said, "Oh we haven't processed anything. You need to fill out these forms." They emailed me the form with the same questions the underwriter asked me 2 days before. The agent I was speaking to had to fill out the form and they made me wait another 2 days to refund me the lowball refund.
AAA are nasty scammers that want to find any reason to not give you a refund and if that is not possible then they want to scam the crap out of you to refund you as little as possible and prolong the refund process as well. I am going to call them every day until my refund is in the mail. Stay away. AAA scammers. No integrity and most of their employees are arrogant and act like they own the company and they will be paying you out of their own paycheck. I don't recommend AAA to anyone and if you are with them run. Cancel. Find another company. They need to be out of business which I am sure they will be very soon by the looks of the reviews and how poorly they are running this company.

We only had AAA homeowners insurance for a few months. While we were away, our brand new fish tank from PetSmart sprung a leak. There was damage to the flooring, carpets, and walls.

The adjuster nastily said, "Which was it. Make up your mind". Another example, he offered to replace one of the damaged carpets but not the padding. We had to hire an independent adjuster and pay a large fee. AAA has made no motion to go against the fish tank manufacturer. TWO YEARS later we finally settled. Our out of pocket expenses were $4,500. We have given up which is what they wanted. Of course, I switched carriers after 3 months of arguing.

We have had our home insured through AAA for several years. We have never had to file a claim and never really needed to put the services to the test. An insurance company can only be accurately assessed when a need arises and the homeowner has to file a claim. We believed AAA to be a top rate company and never doubted that if we needed to file a claim, that the claim would receive prompt attention and superior service.
We recently needed to file a claim with AAA for roof damage that occurred as a result of two separate hailstorms in 2017. We discovered the problem in 2018 when a section of the roof leaked into the master bedroom. Two adjustors made an initial visit to our home, but did not ascend to the roof. The adjustors indicated there was frost on the roof and another visit would be scheduled at another time to check out the roof. The adjustors instead conducted an assessment of some sort around the perimeter of the home and took many pictures. I was not aware that this would take place and neither adjustor indicated at the time of the initial visit that a perimeter inspection of my home would be conducted.
A day or two later, we receive a voicemail to call the adjustor and an email indicating our claim had been denied. Apparently, unbeknownst to us the homeowners, an adjustor had been to the home at some point, ascended to the roof to conduct the inspection while we were away! This was upsetting as we wanted to be notified of the inspection to have a certified and qualified roofer act as our advocate and provide us with information concerning the status of the claim and sort out any insurance jargon for later follow up. Upon contacting the adjustor as to the nature of the denial, the adjustor stated there was no damage to the roof and that any damage noted from hail was due to the age of the roof.
Our home was built in 2005 and we have never had any issues. We asked several roofers to assess the roof and each indicated roof damage and provided pictures to show us. I asked the adjustor if any pictures taken could be provided as proof that he was actually on the roof. Our request was denied. We further inquired about the appeal process as we were perplexed the claim was denied. The adjustor indicated that our options were to hire an attorney or schedule an adjustor to come out or file a complaint with the state.
The adjustor further indicated that if we opted to contact the state, our only other recourse beyond that was to hire an attorney. We inquired about the credentials of the adjustor and that of the engineer. The adjustor indicated that he had some training as it relates to roof matters and material and that the structural engineer would conduct some tests the nature of which we did not understand. We opted for the structural engineer who also denied roof damage and supported denial of the claim.
This whole process was troubling as we inquired throughout the community as to storm related damage. Although many roofs in the community have been replaced by other companies due to roof damage, all homeowners within our community insured through AAA who submitted similar claims were also denied. It is perplexing that a perceived reputable company such as AAA is involved in systematically denying legitimate claims for various nefarious reasons. We are highly disappointed, plan to post a review to alert other homeowners and take a look at other insurers reviews to determine a better fit for our homeowner insurance needs.

Additionally, our yard and house are very clean, so we are confused about what debris needs to be removed. Maybe I should apply to AAA. It sounds like I'd fit in.
With a limited timeframe and the inability to get the details of what needs to be done to become reinstated, we will most likely end up dropping AAA for homeowners insurance.

AAA is terminating my policy on the basis of errors in an inspector's report. They have persistently contradicted themselves in correspondence as to the reason(s) why they are terminating my policy. The primary reason they give is that the residence is "non-owner" occupied. I have lived in this house since the day I bought. I have a rental cottage on the property that is occupied, but I am doing renovations on it, so I gave my tenant a room in the primary residence until the renovations are complete.
AAA states that having an occupant in the primary residence who is a tenant constitutes a liability. I suppose if you have a guest come and stay overnight and tree falls on the house and there are injuries and you file a claim, you're going to be disqualified because we've come to point in society where having company overnight is now considered too risky for insurance companies to issue a policy. I mean if their logic is that the tenant is in the house constitutes a liability, don't they then naturally proceed to consider anyone other than the owner a risk if they come to stay? They won't answer that question when it's asked, because they already know that that's exactly what would happen, and if you know before you sign on the dotted line, you likely won't take out a policy with their company.
Every time I've called to try and get the report corrected and amended, I have had to tell the whole story all over again, because you get somebody different every time you call. This company has so consistently failed to understand the actual conditions that exist, and written so much fiction and fairy tale about my property, they've lulled themselves into an inescapable stupor.
The notes on my account are different from agent to agent, in spite of the fact that I have stated myself and the property conditions accurately and consistently and without error or deviation each time I've talked to them. Yet the account notes that get read back to me change the story EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. And they have absolutely NO concern whatsoever with either obtaining a paying customer, nor with retaining a paying customer. They sit on their throne and issue and cancel policies at will, and without due consideration of either the facts, nor the needs of the customer. AAA is incompetent, inconsistent, and is now the subject of a consumer complaint with the State Safety and Fire Commissioner's Office because of their absolute lack of proficiency and competence in issuing a simple home owner's insurance policy.

We THOUGHT they had good customer service. Unfortunately, immediately after we agreed to pay for the policy, they stopped communicating with us. Our lender requested a change to be made and it took three email requests, several calls from me, and over a week to get it done.

If the AAA billing department is hiding you have to ask yourself, if I ever had a claim how well would I be covered.

As a member for 36 years and abruptly canceling my home insurance claiming my home was near trees. I live in the city. They said there is a hill with oak trees less than 1000 feet from my house. There are no trees within 100 yards of my house, and there is a city 5 million gallon water tank between any trees and my house. I cannot see any of those trees from anywhere on my lot. This is so ridiculous, I am will to sign a waiver to not be insured for wildfires. They wouldn't hear it. So I went to Costco Insurance with car and house. Six months later, I asked for a quote on car insurance, and AAA said I am not a loyal member, so they increase my auto insurance by $2,000. They cancel me, and I'm not loyal. What a bunch of **.

I have a home with a big lot and lots of fencing. In the past 3 years we have had sections of our fence falling down. We filed a claim on each of them and had to pay a deductible. Little did I know, that more than 2 claims and they cancel your policy. It is in one of the many paragraphs that most of us do not read after the first 2 pages. My mistake. I had a large deductible so basically I am being cancelled for something that I could have fixed myself had I been aware of their 3 strikes and you're out policy. What other businesses could have this kind of control? Something needs to be done with these crooked insurance agencies.

I went with AAA home insurance coverage for two reasons - to bundle with my auto insurance AND because they send out an inspector PRIOR to the close of escrow. One of my contingencies for closing escrow was the insurance inspection and assurance that I would NOT require specialty insurance of any kind. The AAA inspector came out to inspect the home and I closed Escrow on April 19, 2019 and thought all was fine. MUCH TO MY SHOCK AAA sent me a letter of cancellation several weeks later because the property is "on a hill!!!"
When I spoke with their office, they blamed it all on the agent - saying that he should of told of about that possibility. That is TERRIBLE BUSINESS PRACTICE - this should have been made CRYSTAL CLEAR in writing on the Dec Page and/or elsewhere! How can these insurance companies get away with this??? Now I'm looking at having to pay $700 extra per year for "speciality insurance" because AAA cancelled my policy. BUYER BEWARE - avoid AAA.

We had a slab leak. The pressure caused by excess stored water between the slab and tile caused a tile to crack and 2 others to pop. We notified our homeowners insurance, AAA. They hired Paley Stone & Tile Forensics also known as Atlas to investigate. Our existing tile was discontinued, which meant insurance should pay to replace the existing floor. Paley Stone & Tile Forensics was hired to lie and provide a report so that AAA would not be liable.
Mr. Paley came over with a metal ball and crawled around our home. His report stated ongoing exterior moisture was the cause of damaged tile. He trespassed into our home, into areas not affected by the leak, in private spaces, moved our furniture to support his claim. He stated exterior water from the garage 18 inches below our living room slab, where the leak was, was the cause, apparently water can move upwards against gravity! Upon repair of our floor, at our cost, a moisture barrier was used. The moisture barrier responded as expected, changed color once cured.
If moisture existed according to Paley, the moisture barrier would not have changed color to confirm dryness. Beware Paley Stone & Tile Forensics/Atlas and AAA work together to deny homeowners. Paley is a liar, charlatan and a con artist! He was an English teacher in South America. He is anti women and a male chauvinist, and worst of all AAA refuses to address any of our concerns/requests.

First claim: My roof had leaks in 3 places. Three AAA 'independent" adjusters claimed there was no hail damage to the shingles. However, EVER piece of metal on my roof, including siding and guttering/downspouts was totaled by all three adjusters. No one would ever explain how I had three separate roof leaks but no hail or wind damage to the shingles. It took over a year to get my roof replaced and cost me an extra $2500 in expenses to fight these liars. I had three different roofers including the AAA preferred roofer look at the roof and all said there is no way the roof isn't totaled.
Second claim 9/1/2018: Kitchen faucet failed with a pinhole leak. The leak was discovered when the downstairs bedroom ceiling collapsed. Hand-scraped wood flooring buckled in the kitchen. Over 1000SF of connected wood flooring. The first adjuster tried to only replace the kitchen flooring. I argued with him before he left and he finally agreed it should all match and measured the space at just over 700SF. I custom built the home and still have the SF of wood flooring I paid for, so I know exactly how much is needed.
This first adjuster offered $7000 TOTAL. I spent almost $7000 when I purchased the original wood floor. The second adjuster came to $12000 and the third adjuster is at $24,000. My independent adjuster is at $46,000. And again, I am having to pay people to fight this dishonest company. Instead of a $1500 deductible, I am going to spend more than $3000 to get what should have been paid immediately. Not only that but my family and I have lived with a partially demolished kitchen for months.
Because they refuse to pay the claim I cannot switch insurance companies because no company will take you with an outstanding claim. AAA has increased my rate for the third time in 3 years. I am almost at double what my original insurance was. I guess they figure if they actually have to pay a claim they will rip you off by delaying the claim and forcing you to pay outrageous insurance rates for as long as possible. Run from AAA. They don't pay their claims.

I've been a long-term loyal AAA member. My parents have always used AAA as well. AAA Homeowners Insurance, however, has been a nightmare to deal with. I've used AAA since my house was bought 5 years ago and recently started to see leaks in my roof. We live in Dallas so hail and wind damage is very frequent. We contacted AAA and had our roof evaluated and was told that only one slope of our roof would be replaced due to hail damage. We live in a condo with HOA overseeing our property. Our HOA denied the replacement of only one slope of the roof because my shingles are no longer being manufactured and any replacement shingles would not match.
I spoke to a Robert ** from AAA about that and was told "you can send in your HOA denial all you want, but it has no bearing on what we are going to cover". On top of this, there are multiple areas of my home that is experiencing leaks. The leaks are not even on the same side of the home. I'm baffled by the one slope replacement. My roofer even sent in photos to show that there are multiple areas of the home that are experiencing leaks, not just that one slope, but nothing is being done. Robert even refused to send out another inspector to look at my roof to see that there are multiple areas of the roof that are leaking and creating mold inside my home.
My phone calls were ignored and my messages unanswered. It took 3 months of calls just to get a estimate drawn up and sent to me for the 1 slope. How convenient that the estimate for the 1 slope falls within our deductible. To say I’m mad and disappointed would be an understatement. I feel betrayed by the insurance that was suppose to protect me. What is the point of insurance if they won't step up to help you when you need them? Go with any other company, don't use AAA.

After reading other reviews from this site, I have to agree with the one star rating. My home was damaged during a wind storm with a neighbor's tree falling on my house and taking out the bathroom and part of the bedroom. The only argument I did not have with them was for my hotel bill since I only have one bathroom. My claim was made on July 20, 2018 and work BEGAN on my house in mid October. My deductible and depreciation cost me more than $12,000. The whole story is too long to go into, but the biggest complaint was the roof. They would only cover a small portion of it and the contractor would not give me a warranty without the whole roof being done. I also asked the insurance guy where they were going to stop the new roof work. I never got an answer. Some of my personal property loss included antiques. Have you ever tried to find a comparable cost? Finally gave up.
My first offer of damages incurred was $18,000. I told them they were crazy and was not accepting it. My contractor's estimate was more than $40, 000 and they finally paid. This has been the worst experience of my life. I decided to turn them in to KY Department of Insurance. Unfortunately they could not help me. My claims rep left the company (or was fired) near the end of my claim. This in turn closed my case. I had to jump through hoops to get it re-opened. In the end, I was able to get back into my home on December 7, 2018, 112 days from date of claim. Truly incomprehensible. I did not wait for them to cancel me - I canceled them. PS: Their billing is as screwed up as their claim department. I did not tell them I was canceling, I just did not pay the premium. Thank goodness the time for renewal was almost up when the work was finished.

My family and I have had AAA for our home, car and rv for over ten years but have never utilized them for any claims. We recently sold our first home and bought a bigger home that was in need of some remodeling. So we started projects immediately and delayed our move in date. About four or five weeks in we get a letter stating our homeowners insurance policy will be terminated in four weeks time because we did not submit pictures of the new property and home. I was never asked to have someone come out so was annoyed by the letter stating that we failed to do so as if we were asked and denied their request. We had someone come out within a few days and we’re told that someone would call if there were issues and more action was required. I then spent the next three weeks calling and leaving several messages each with three different people that were assigned to my case and they did not ever return my calls.
I finally called the basic number so that I could speak to someone live and not be sent to voicemail. By the end of that week they helped me discover that we could not be insured because our master bath’s tile wasn’t in yet so they would in fact cancel our policy. Since it took three and a half weeks to be told this information, they cancelled our policy since the remodeling work could not finished by that termination date. They would not give me an extension of even one to two weeks despite them admitting that it was their error and that they had no explanation for people not returning my repeated calls. I could have easily had that two day tile project done if I was told in a timely manner that it was an insurance issue. But by then, my tile guy was on another job and would not be available until the following week. So I had to get another policy in the meantime.
Upon calling again and being elevated to some customer service person, I was told that it was our fault for being under construction and that no money would be reimbursed. And, conveniently, the policy that I was told to get in the meantime was some AAA side company that was very expensive and later when I looked into them, has awful reviews and is not rated well at all. So we are out several hundred dollars and had much stress because of their lack of courtesy to inform clients of potential issues, their lack of customer service to correct errors that they made, and their lack of ability to work and respect clients with a long history with them that had ZERO claims. We are switching immediately to another company.

So we contact the agent and he sold us a policy stating that my mom would be covered if a special assessment from the HOA happened. Well, one major hail storm later and a special assessment happened. However, AAA writes a tiny little footnote that allows them to only pay a small portion of a special assessment if any of the assessment has to go toward paying the master HOA policy deductible - which will be the case for most special assessments. They did some song and dance and said that their policy doesn't have to pay out in this instance. Basically they wrote a special exception into the plan that allows them to 'not have to pay out' for most of the HOA special assessments that would ever happen.
Long story short - everyone else in the complex had insurance coverage that paid the $5,000 assessment - even though it was to go toward the deductible - except my mom.

I saw how AAA dealt with my daughter when her house burnt down. They found shelter for her and her pets. Her tenants was given 6 months rent to relocate. AAA pays out fast with little hassle when you are stressed out already and they have reasonable premiums when you consider the coverage you get for your money. Still, I would like to see discount on more types of home security system and less focus on superficial home repairs such as one board having chipped paint or one hole in the gutter.

We had many questions and wanted to see the person eye to eye. The person we bought the house from had AAA. But I would have love to check more.

We have had ALL of our insurance through AAA for over 15 years. We have had to do a couple of car insurance claims in that time and they were wonderful. THEN we had a huge storm that damaged our home and had to open a Homeowners claim. The storm happened June 2017 and we STILL haven’t had all the damage repaired (a year and a half later). AAA refuses to pay the necessary amount to properly fix the damage.
Our roof, windows and siding were all damaged during the storm. They were fine with replacing the roof and that was done a few months later. The rest, however, has been a nightmare. For some reason, they don’t seem to believe how much it’s going to cost to replace the windows (as if we can control that). We even took it upon ourselves to get SEVERAL quotes from various window manufacturers. We are the original owners/builders of this home so we even showed the ORIGINAL order form of the ORIGINAL windows to show what brand and type they are. What more do they need?!
We just want our home returned back to the way it was... nothing extra. At this point, our contractor is at his wit's end, our house is being infested by hornets that have made a home behind the damaged siding and windows so we couldn’t enjoy our yard all summer and now it is October... that means snow is on its way (we live in Wisconsin) so any home repairs are, once again, going to have to wait until Spring.
On top of that... AAA has not responded to our contractor AFTER he talked to a manager that was “going to take care of it right away.” This was a month ago. I am not a confrontational person, but this situation has pushed me to the brink. We are honest people and we have been loyal to this company for years.

He arrived late, with 1/2 the AC unit and had to drive an hour back to get the other. At 8 pm he told me that he "had to be honest, that he was beat." I explained that I had another crew coming in the morning, lucky me I had two units go out at the same time... and he needed to complete the work that evening, which he couldn't because he forgot, or ran out of oxygen to light his torch.

I live in a condo. One of my neighbors, who I share a wall with, passed away. He wasn't found for a few weeks so he was severely decomposed when they did. Due to this, and no notification to me, I ended up with maggots/larvae/pupaes/flies in my condo. So bad that the larvae were rising out of the carpet. AAA refused to look at the claim as a biohazard, as should have been done, but as an infestation to avoid paying anything on my claim. Even the companies that clean up these scenes, all the time, said that because of where the bugs came from, it was a biohazard and anywhere the flies or pupae are/land, can cause me, my family, or pets to get sick.
Doesn't matter though, AAA won't even have someone come out and inspect, they just denied the claim based on the incorrect information that was put down when I called in. How do you fully deny something when you didn't even send an inspector out? Not even a partial approval, just outright denied. I now have to spend thousands of dollars to replace carpeting (as they were under the carpet too) and clean everything to make sure I'm not living with diseased bugs. I know my other insurance is going to go up, but I'll be taking my homeowner insurance elsewhere. The lack of investigation or care on anyone's part at AAA isn't worth the couple of dollars discount.

As stated in the plumbers report, there is absolutely no evidence of where the leak came from, but it is being falsely stated and believed that it came from a crack that was dye tested and said not leaking.

My agent was Chris ** in the Thornwood AAA office for decades, in the beginning he was very responsive and very accurate with all aspects of our transactions. He even responded and conducted a lot of our business via email. Things were great up until about 4 years ago for some reason. I had always recommended AAA to my friends and family until then. About 4 years ago things changed drastically not only with Chris but also with the offices and its personnel. His responses became less consistent by email up to days, then weeks then so long that I ended up having to call to reach him at all. Then even calling I was unable to reach him and left voicemails to him and his assistant.
This went on for about 4 years and only got worse. The last straw was when I NEEDED to make sure my homeowners coverage was still current and was not able to reach him or anyone who would help me at ALL. I called the office that he had been in Thornwood but they said he had moved I believe to the Capital office. I complained about the lack of responsiveness to the manager at the time who was there, but she was not interesting in dealing with the issues and said that I need to talk to him directly to clear things up, not even a sorry to hear about your experience. So I called that office but he wasn't there AGAIN. I was transferred to someone who they said was his assistant (not sure if it was just for that day) a female at the time but she also was not interested at all in my obvious description of 'very poor service' and in fact responded quite shockingly "So what do you want me to do about this?". Are you kidding me?
If a customer complains that they can't get anyone to return their call or get status on their policies, wouldn't you think a more professional and compassionate response would be, "I am so very sorry to heard about your troubles, let me see if we can't straighten this out for you now. Let me ask you some questions. I might not be able to straighten things out for you, but we will get the ball rolling", or something like that. I tried a few more minutes with her but I could tell she was not interested in assisting me, so I asked for the manager but got a supervisor instead.
A female who after I calmly explained about my original issue with Chris and the new problems with his assistants lack of interest in providing friendly customer service I got a similar response from her initially. She was not interested in helping me with my policies and she did not acknowledge that there was a issue with the staff at all at first. She referred me to the 800 number if I needed to clear things up right away, that was it! I asked her "are you at all concerned about the customer service issues I just mentioned?". She halfheartedly acknowledged by saying "yes, and what would you like me to do?" OMG seriously, this now seemed like a systemic issue with minimal or no customer service training.
I asked if I could speak to the manager, she said he would be in tomorrow BUT then she started apologizing and became more open to listening to my issues, but I was done at that point. I asked if she could have the manager of this office give me a call. She said very politely 'yes, absolutely I will let him know and have him call you as soon as he comes in'. Can you guess what happens next... Yes of course, no one called. I call the 800 number that day and cancelled all 5 of my policies that day! (2 cars, 1 rental, 1 home, 1 earthquake). I was really shocked I have been with AAA for over 30 years and they used to have the very best people and service. Not sure what has happened in that last 4 years but they ** suck now.
