The majority of companies don't even acknowledge the initial complaint and/or review, and N&D went well beyond that. All is well now, the year's premium paid in full and I am feeling much better!

I had full coverage with this auto insurance company. My parked car was hit by another driver while…read moreI was inside CVS. I immediately called the police to report the accident. The next day I filed a claim and even went back to CVS and checked with several nearby businesses for surveillance cameras, but none had any footage. I've never been in an accident or hit anyone's car in my life. After some time, my claim was denied by Tracy Larkwich, who was extremely rude. After one phone call, she completely stopped answering any of my calls. They denied the claim because they found yellow latex paint on my car. They claimed it doesn't belong on cars in Massachusetts and is usually on poles, so they decided I must have hit something and was lying about the accident. This is ridiculous. There are many vehicles in Massachusetts with yellow latex paint, and the accident happened in February when there was snow on the ground. Instead of helping their customer, this company is victimizing victims just to avoid paying claims. They take your premiums every month but refuse to honor the full coverage when you actually need it. Terrible service, rude adjuster, and completely unfair denial. I would never recommend this company to anyone. Stay away!

My father…read moreis a retired insurance agent, so 4 years ago, I asked if he could help with my policies (home and car) after my previous agency relocated too far away. He found that I was way over insured in some areas (car) and underinsured in others (home, umbrella, etc). Since he was retired and now out of state, he didn't have the ability to handle it all himself. My father recommended Steve Palenscar (a contact he made in the past as an insurance agent) SPECIFICALLY because he knew he would personally work with me to get properly insured, not use a preset default from a computer program. Long story short: Through a discussion over the phone about my finances, assets, family, etc, we were able to personalize my coverage to suit my family personally, and I am now adequately covered in case someone makes a claim against anyone in my immediate family (umbrella policy). I'm not an insurance expert, but I am paying less from my combined policies and am actually better protected. Below is part of my Google review related to customer service received so far. Since change to this agency, I have purchased 3 cars and Steve Palenscar has handled just about all of the painful RMV tasks that I have normally had to deal with. That includes having one of his guys wait in line at the RMV to get my plate for me! The 3rd and most recent vehicle purchase is what prompted me to write this review. I purchased a salvage (aka. totalled) car from an auction in Georgia, and soon learned that getting an out of state salvage car legally registered in MA is quite an ordeal. As always, I have been able to email Steve for help and advice and typically get all my complex questions answered in a day. I was given a simple set of tasks to complete, and he will handle all the rest. I cannot recommend this agency enough.

I switched to Progressive in April after being referred by my fiancé because they quoted me a rate…read moreof around $110/month. I was told it might increase slightly after underwriting, but with a clean driving record for nearly 10 years, I wasn't concerned. Instead, my premium jumped to $673. The increase happened because Progressive automatically added my parents to my policy simply because they live in my household--even though I clearly stated during the application that no one else drives my car, the vehicle is solely in my name, and my parents each have their own vehicles and insurance. What frustrated me most wasn't just the increase--it was the lack of communication. Progressive withdrew nearly $700 from my account without ever calling me or sending a clear notice by mail. They claim they notified me through emails and my online portal, but important changes like this shouldn't be buried among dozens of routine notifications. When I called, the underwriting representative was dismissive and even disconnected the call when I asked for a supervisor. Thankfully, the supervisor I eventually reached was kind and helped correct the issue. I'll keep my policy through September since I've already paid for it, but I won't be renewing. A company shouldn't automatically make changes that increase someone's bill by hundreds of dollars without making every effort to ensure the customer is aware. My previous insurer may have cost a little more, but they were transparent, professional, and much easier to work with.

She held my hand and explained what each part of the coverage actually covered and what I would be paying out of pocket if anything happens. She gave me a choice to choose alternative premiums and fine tune my car insurance to my liking. She answered all my questions by email within an hour or so and we got everything squared away in ~2 days (with canceling of the old insurance company and signing the new one). This was all done by email, I never had to step foot in the office. This is one of the best car insurance experiences I've had so far and I strongly suggest giving them a try for a quote!
