I was an independent agent for years back east. A few years back I went to an Allstate agent because they were more reasonable then the insurance I had. Over the next year that little big brother device they had me put in my car that was supposed to save me OH SO MUCH money did the opposite. I am not a bad driver.. I am not a speeder if you've ridden with me you know this. The fact that I drive during the day was what they were angry about and that I take road trips. Excessive driving.. well as a result of this.. over 2 years my Auto insurance went through the roof. It was time to shop. Wow I have been out of the business a while it seems. I went to a few other places and was appalled at the service and prices I was given.
I literally found Gary on my Yelp App doing a search for independent agents. Turns out he's in the neighborhood close to my house. I called him... emailed him my home and auto policies and within a day gave him my business. My auto... for what I paid Allstate for 6 months.. was a little under what I was going to pay for a year with another company. My home also went down a few hundred.
I always recommend shopping for insurance every few years. Maybe it's time to check yours? Give Gary a call and see what he can do for you. Never hurts to ask:) read more
