Question Wawanesa???

So I have spent the day calling different insurance brookers trying to get quotes..

I asked about Pilot... but i was brought to attention that Wawanessa was the same quality but cheaper..

For three cars and three drivers it was approx $400 cheaper then pilot per year..

has anyone delt with Wawanesa.. I would like to get as much info about the company before I get more into it...

I need to know if anyone with this company has modified their car ( ie. new paint job, lowering, lips, rims, and audio) has had any problems...

thank you sooo much

most insurance companies aren't hip with modded cars... my past two companies said that if i was driving a modded car i'm uninsurable by them.... fortunate for me they didn't know that

I used to be with Wawanesa and I haven't any complaints about them. The only reason why my family and I switched to another company was that we found cheaper rates than Wawanesa.

I cancelled my insurance today with Wawanesa and got insured some where else.

Suffice to say I'm paying less than I did before....I'm paying way less because I got a group rate....but I wouldn't suggest going with Wawanesa they charged me way too much.

my dad had an acount with them...then cancelled our insurance for no reason...... they told us that we didn't pay our monthly feess so they just canceled it without telling us...thank god no cop pulled us over (he called to find out some info), so even after we proved to them that we payed they still treated us like crap, after they gave us our insurance back they gave usa higher price for insutrance...... like twice as much, we called to find out why and they told us cuz WE CANCELED our account with them and now that there's a new one we have to pay more.....that's when we just sayd **** it...... left them and got a new acount with the Proffecional......
