Couldn’t recommend Remingtons highly enough. They look after both our business and personal insurance and have been great to deal with. The team is always responsive, professional and incredibly helpful. They are also informative when it comes to claims support, making the whole process easy. Fantastic service all round.
I would strongly caution anyone considering using this company for insurance services. Based on my experience, I have found both the conduct of the company and its owner, Max, to be deeply concerning and wholly unprofessional. The company failed to properly update and maintain our insurance policy despite being specifically instructed to do so. Critical errors and omissions were made by staff during the policy renewal and amendment process, resulting in our property and assets being significantly underinsured without our knowledge. We relied on their expertise and assurances that the policy accurately reflected our coverage requirements. When an insurable event subsequently occurred, the insurer relied upon these errors and deficiencies to deny the claim almost entirely, leaving us exposed to catastrophic financial losses exceeding $300,000. This has caused enormous financial hardship, operational disruption, and ongoing emotional stress. What is most alarming is not simply the original mistake, but the complete lack of accountability afterwards. Following the denial of the claim, the owner, Max, acknowledged the seriousness of the situation and indicated that if the insurer ultimately refused the claim, they would seek to rectify the matter by lodging a claim under their own professional insurance coverage. Those assurances gave us some confidence that the company intended to take responsibility for the situation they had created. However, despite those representations, there has been little to no meaningful follow-up. Communications have progressively ceased, and repeated attempts to contact the company through phone calls, emails, text messages, and formal correspondence have largely been ignored. We have been left entirely in the dark with no updates, no assistance, no transparency, and no genuine effort to resolve the matter or honour the commitments that were made to us. Rather than taking ownership of a serious professional failing, the company and its representatives have instead avoided communication and distanced themselves from the consequences of their own errors. The complete lack of responsiveness and accountability after causing losses of this magnitude has been incredibly disappointing and distressing. In my opinion, this demonstrates a serious failure in professional responsibility, client care, and basic ethical conduct. Insurance brokers and advisers are entrusted to protect their clients’ interests and ensure policies are accurate and suitable. In this case, that trust was completely broken, with devastating financial consequences. Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend this company to anyone seeking reliable, competent, or trustworthy insurance advice or policy management.
We’ve had a great experience with Remingtons Insurance. Tarah has been incredibly helpful, professional and easy to deal with. At Beavertail Trailers, it’s important we work with people who understand our business and Tarah always makes the process smooth and straightforward. Highly recommend Remingtons Insurance for their excellent service.
Josh at Remington Insurance Brokers is an absolute standout! He went above and beyond to secure us an incredible deal, saving our business a small fortune on our insurance costs. His expertise, dedication, and remarkable politeness made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Alex was equally fantastic, providing exceptional follow-up with the utmost courtesy and ensuring every detail was handled with care. Both Josh and Alex are true professionals, and their commitment to excellence and polite demeanor make them a dream team. I highly recommend Remington Insurance Brokers to anyone, especially for business insurance needs – you won’t find better service anywhere else!.
We have been with Remingtons (Ballarat) for many years now…nothing is ever too much trouble…especially when I leave things to last minute 😂 a big Thanku to Maggie, Phil, Nellie and Tarrah for helping us out with personal and commercial insurance.
Trinette from the Surfcoast Remington's is such a pleasure to deal with when chatting all things insurances - her knowledge and expertise to make sure I am getting the right cover is impressive.
As a new business owner attending markets to sell my mens grooming products, it was great to finally meet Trinette from Remingtons - an insurance broker that really understands my needs and anticipates what I need to cover my liabilities. Thanks for giving me a great experience with an Insurance Broker! Highly recommend
