Robin Starr and Laurie Gillaugh have been working with me for 14 years. I've always been able to get my questions answered in a prompt and respectful manner. I've been educated on what my actual needs are, vs. what an online insurer would provide for a lot less. They've kept me educated, and insured properly in a caring, respectful, and informative way.

Total lack of concern for my needs. I WAS a client for over 20 years. I asked to "shop" my insurance as prices were raising dramatically. They simply did not respond. Not the first time for that experience. By the way, I'm older, never had an accident, no traffic tickets for over 30 years. They didn't even respond to my request to cancel for nearly a week! Read all of their ratings then do yourself a favor and shop around.

Raises rates without justification or explanation. Over 5 years our rates have more than doubled on home and was almost $800 cheaper on auto when I looked elsewhere. They get you in low and raise the rates on their end hoping you either won't notice or won't bother. When I asked to shop around.oh that is the rate still, others are more expensive. Quoted out on my own and the rates have not changed significantly since 2013. Apples to Apples coverage.

GAD has been my insurance provider for ten years and I can't say enough good things about them. They always provide great service and keep me updated with my policies. Would recommend them 10 times out of 10.

After 20 years with GAD it took getting a new vehicle to see how much we were overpaying. After mentioning we were insurance shopping we were miraculously offered a quote from another company GAD works with that was 1,500 less than we have been paying. WOW! They forgot about my family of four as we became just another policy number. Money driven!
