Vern Fonk Insurance

Don't hold your breath, seems like agents are so busy with new business, they can't return calls for existing customers. Made two calls in four days (if you add the weekend, that's six days ago) to the Everett office to make a change to my insurance; had to pay the existing policy because no one got back to me. So, all of you new customers beware, now that they've got you, you may never get helped again. Update: two weeks later and still nothing, no email, no call or text. Time for a new insurance company.

Leon Smith was a great help in finding me a policy that was the best fit, he took his time to explain in detail what I needed. An overall great experience! Highly recommend using Vern Fonk.

Annabel was extremely helpful and caring to my needs. She went above and beyond in helping me get the best rates with optimal coverage. I highly recommend going to Annabel she is very knowledgeable and truly cares for her clients. She is readily available and you can tell she is passionate about helping you get the best service.

Annabel Is the best! She is very patient, very polite and super professional! She solved all my issues in no time! Thank you so much!

I was very happy with the service I received from Linda at the Everett office! she got me a great deal on my insurance and will receive my buisness in the future! Thank you!

Leon was thoroughly professional and very helpful throughout the process of getting my insurance. Answered all the relevant questions; gave me several options to choose from. I would recommend them to a friend.

I AM NOT HAPPY. their hidden fees are ridiculous. $8 fee unless you go paperless. A $40 insurance fee just to write up a policy for you. I paid for 6 months of insurance up front and they still charged me the $8 fee for not signing up for paperless billing. They would not refund the money when I asked them why I was being charged that fee when I paid for all 6 months up front?

I didn't end up with the quote they gave me when I called to start the policy. It ended up being about 32 more a month!. The customer service agents so far have been very unhelpful and I don't think k I want to go through them any more. So far I'm very unhappy with the service and billing.

I had Linda J John's out of the Everett office help me. I had a rough beginning with customer service, until I talked to Linda! She was professional, thorough, and very helpful. Linda helped me remove a driver off my account. Turned my whole experience around! Five stars for Linda! Thank you

I had Linda help me out with new insurance, she has been working there for 20 years! I am new to this whole thing and she was the best person I could have received help from. Linda was patient, kind, and VERY helpful with every step of the way. Definitely giving her a 5 star for customer service.

My son turned 18 and needed to have his own policy. Leon helped us. He went slow enough for us to fully understand what he was doing. He gave us options. Friendly guy. I highly recommend giving this company a shot at your business!

I am EXTREMELY satisfied with the customer service Leon provided me. He was knowledgeable, friendly and soooo patient. 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone. I've dealt with a lot of people the last few weeks trying to find something I can work with, and Leon was so patient explaining everything in detail to me to help me find the best options.

100% amazing experience. Great service from the agent Leon Smith he made this process so easy and explained everything in great detail and everything went quick and easy. Thnx again Leon Smith and progressive.

I was trying to add a vehicle to our existing policy, and after being put on hold for almost an hour we got transfered to Jesus Reynoso, who helped us in an efficient and friendly way. He happily answered all of our questions. Great employee I wish there were more people like him willing to help customers.

I talked with Jesus Ortiz. A very nice gentlemen with great customer service. Helped me get the insurance I was looking for at a price I could afford. Highly recommend.

Mr. Leon Smith did an outstanding job. he helped insure me to my needs and stuck to my intended budget. I totally recommend him. To any and all who need a great insurance agent he will be the one you've been looking for

I talked with Leon Smith. What a helpful and knowledgeable person. Leon was able to help me with all questions, assisted me in processing my policy, and was very patient with the work he was doing. Would highly recommend to everyone!

Annabel Cardenas was more than helpful. I called to see about. paying my new premium in advance, when she looked at my policy she said, "I think we can do better than this and save you some money." Which she did. I now have better coverage, and feel once again renewed in continuing to be a loyal Vern Fonk customer.

Linda Johns helped save me $100 a month! She reached out to me and offered to shop for a better rate. She found me a great one with more coverage than I had before. Quick and effective service. Thanks again!

Thank you to Leon Smith! He took his time to review my entire profile in order to give me the best deal possible! As a new driver in my age and gender group, it is quite hard to find good prices for insurance, and Vern Fonk was able to help me find a decent priced coverage with fantastic customer service. Leon was not only professional but also quite helpful and offered a personal care that I truly enjoyed. I didn't feel like I was talking to him because I had to, but instead because I enjoyed his time and help and conversation! Thank you for your help!

Very helpful and fadt first time getting insured and my record aint the best but got a better deal then anyone was offering and it took barley any of my time out if today to do it annie here is definitely the one to ask for.

Cassidy, is a very nice, welcoming, and kind person to talk to. She helped get what I need and needed for today in a short amount of time, that's what I like. Very direct questions and no hassle and very easy policy switch.

Geoffrey has been my agent for a year now and I couldn't be happier! I was advised a long time ago to go with Vern Fonk as they would shop the lowest cost insurance for me and that is exactly what he did! Always answers my questions and always does the most to get my rates as low as possible. Really professional, really sincere and always hard workin! Thanks!

Carlos is the best. Crystal leaves at 5:30 when they close at 6:30 and has at least two times promised me she would get back to me and help me before she leaves which she hasn't. I am still trying to contact her but they all have a meeting today and won't be back till tomorrow. I am being charged for two insurances at the same time because I can't reach the company to cancel and get refunded the insurance that we had gone through with which was half the insurance I needed since I am financing my car.

Being a first time car buyer, I would think she would be the one with the questions making sure she is supplying me with what I need. We went through with the payment and after that is when it was discussed that I am financing my car therefore I needed full coverage- basically I paid for nothing. So I have now paid over $300 for partial coverage which is not enough to cancel my other forced insurance which is over $600 a month.

In the end, I am still paying for both which is absolutely unnecessary and also quite frustrating. I would simply like to be able to contact this company so I can cancel my partial insurance.

Literally the words used were no one is going to touch that. Thanks for the encouragement. If you want to sell insurance maybe try actually selling.

When I signed up with this insurance company they told me that I had an accident on my record that I had never been in, which made my rates with them go up. I had to pay $13 for my driver's record to prove that I'd never been in the accident and get them to lower my rates. My girlfriend tried to get covered with them and they also told her that she'd been in accident that she never had been in.

She paid $13 for her driver's record too, but then got insured through another agency that had no record of such accident. When she got covered with the other agency I dropped my coverage with Vern Fonk to switch and turns out my agent never actually cancelled my policy. So I was charged automatically this month and I can't even get a hold of National General Insurance at 7 pm because they're closed.

Will be filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau about this horrible and fraudulent company. Would recommend Sav-on Insurance for lower rates and much better customer service!

Just purchased several rental properties and needed to secure home owner insurance policies. It's Friday evening around 6:20 pm the weekend before 4th of July. Don't remember how many agencies I called (12 or 13) before getting a "real" human to interact. Her name is Kashia. Within a few minutes Kashia had me signed up for coverage with an excellent brand (Safeco).

She was professional, very personable, thorough, and passionate about her job. People's needs unfortunately, don't only happen Monday - Friday between 8 to 5. I was lucky to find Kashia and Vern Fonk to assist me with my insurance needs. I highly recommend Kashia to assist you with your Home & Rental insurance and Auto insurance needs.

I've been with Vern Fonk for over 2 years now and have always had spectacular service with them. Initially when I set up, they made it easy walked me through my options. Now, when my insurance jumped up (for no reason) the representative informed me before the changes and even had other options available immediately. She made it so easy to switch over. Heidi was extremely polite and nice. She answered all my silly questions and was very helpful.

The insurance is expensive, policy prices are increasing every 6 months and is not related to tickets or accidents. I had this insurance for 1 year, maybe a little more and being a good driver I was paying more and more every 6 months. The insurance is not providing accurate information. I had home insurance for a few months and they charged me $ 100. 00 more than they told me.

They gave me a quote for $ 413 for my house, but since it was paid by the bank they charged more without notifying me. Later I asked them why? The answer was paper work fee. I canceled the policy as soon as I noticed they are not fair. And plus, the women whom I worked with was very rude. I do not recommend this insurance company to anyone!

Let me start off by saying Jose is my go to guy here. I've been with them for almost 2 years now and haven't had a single problem. If I have any questions about my policy or need to update info they are always willing to help. They always search for the best price for you and make sure that you are happy before leaving. The staff is always friendly and happy and treats my daughter amazing whenever we go in to pay my insurance.

I will definitely be sticking with them as they got me the lowest price I've ever paid for insurance. If you want good affordable insurance then this is a must go and check out. You will not be disappointed at all. Thanks Vern fonk!

The only reason this review is negative at all, is that the insurance company they "sent" me to in California called Workmans Automotive or some made up crap, is horrible. I thought I was staying locally here and I did have a great experience with the person who was setting me up here in Seattle. Workmans tho.wish I could find them on yelp. Shitheads.

Diligently and professionally found the best car insurance for my needs. The parking could be better, but the ads are hilarious!

If you are required to have RS22 insurance in order to reinstate your license, please advise: call the DMV before you deal with the insurance company, in this case Vern Fonk, Aurora. well, we contacted vern fonk for the insurance coverage, and had paid $300+ first payment. A week later we found out that my other half cannot get his license until sometime in 2011. we called and cancelled as soon as we found out.our refund was $10. take the money and run, vern Fonk!

Comment from robert t. of Vern Fonk Agency 10/30/2009 "Alyson was upset that Mary was with a another customer when Alyson called and did not want to wait for a call back. Alyson became abusive to our employee. I'm glad she was satisfied for 2 years prior to this initial phone call. We have thousands of satisfited customers and have been serving the puget sound since 1952.

Call us for all of your car, house and business insurance needs. 206 634 2500. Remember honk when you drive Vern Fonk." I very clearly stated the exact breakdown of events as handled by their employee, which I immediately posted on Yelp (including the fact that I had left a message days earlier that had not been returned and that I was being charged substantially more than I was originally told).

Two years later a company who seemingly had no interest in responding to this issue when I also IMMEDIATELY brought it to the attention (via email) of the supervisor of the branch (and has never had a conversation with me EVER) is suggesting I was abusive to their employee who barely gave me a moment to get a word in edgewise between putting me on hold without asking in addition to hanging up on me? I didn't imagine I could be more disappointed with the customer service of this company, but lo and behold - they managed to trump their previous poor behavior.

Do you ever wonder: "If I could go back in time and change one thing in my past, what would it be?" Maybe a time where you hurt the feelings of a loved one. Or when you lied to your best friend. Or cheated on a spouse. Or some ridiculous purchase you made. Mine goes something like this: In 5th grade, we had to put on one of those yearly class plays.

Those type of plays where every kid in your 130-kid class had a part to say. Every year you had to do one, and every year it was the worst day of your life. In 1st grade, it was "Fairy Tales" (I was Pinocchio.) In 3rd grade, it was Patriotic American history (I was William Tell.) In 5th grade, it was "Heroes, " and this is where my regret begins. Amongst having to sing wretched songs like "You Are The Wind Beneath My Wings, " every kid in the class had to pick their own personal hero and write their own part about them. 98% of the parts were dedicated to grandparents or parents; it was just a big parental masturbatory affair.

One big wank job in the gym bleachers as each parent took turns thinking, "Fuck, I AM that great." I, embarrassingly / shyly / regretfully, called out my dad as being my hero. I know he was glowing in those cramped bleachers, and probably nudging other parents around him, saying, "That's my'boy." But if I could go back in time and change one thing in my life, I would change this.

The Future Me would meet the Fifth Grade Me, altering the time-space contiuum, and introduce me to the wonders of Vern Fonk. I would have proceeded to give the most amazing soliloquy in the history of elementary school plays, for in the world of demigods, Vern Fonk reigns supreme. Apparently, this company offers auto insurance, but I had no idea until I looked them up online.

If you have ever stayed up late watching Conan or other late night infomercials, you've undoubtedly seen their local commercials. And most likely, they've left you completely stunned, like a leg came out of your television screen and kicked you right in the taint. Simply put: in advertising, there is a distinct line between promotion and art. Vern Fonk not only exploits that boundary, he straight up DESTROYS it.

These are the most amazing advertisements I have ever seen -- local or national. I don't care about the company. I'm sure if I went there, I'd give them half a star. I mean, LOOK at it. I hate to read a book by it's cover, but c'mon. Aside from this, the commercial(s) demand I give them a five-star-perfect-score here, and who can blame me?

The only complaint I have is that tonight's commercial made my TV spontaneously combust, and I hadn't even finished making payments on that damn thing. Want to see for yourself? Check out one of the adverts here, and DANCE! http://youtube.com/watch?v=ItWpoUMbqJE How do you even decide what the best part is? Is it the random dancing bald guy on top of the car?

The presence of the two wretched girls? The fact that he destroys a horrible on-screen graphic while wearing a Storm Trooper mask? His head popping up on their 4 locations on the Seattle area map? Nay, it all can be summed up in one word: SHIPOOPI!
