This is a late review, not sure if Gary is still in business or not. I had an auto policy with Gary around 2015. I had a minor issue with the DMV registration as I had just moved from out of state so I went into the office to get things sorted out. At the time I was in my early 30s, and Gary (who looks to me to be a rough lived 60s range) kept making weird jokes and asking me personal questions about myself. He emphasized multiple times that I was free to come in and use one of the computers, or the fax machine if I ever needed it. In fact, Gary would be so kind as to take me to lunch if I ever wanted as well. Now, its not a very big office I am certain at least one of the staff in there heard this. Looking around, they seemed to have no reaction which indicated to me that this was probably not unusual for Gary. I also noticed that he had a hand tremor and was wondering if he had a prior stroke or something that made him act a little weird. After I had my paperwork done, Gary (unprompted) walked me to my car and touched my lower back as I was exiting the door. He reminded me once again that he would take me to lunch if I ever wanted, or if I needed more "help" I could call him. I was so freaked out I ran over a curb backing up, Gary just stood there on the sidewalk and watched me drive away. F*cking creep. Thank God I never had to use that insurance, makes me shudder to think about what "offers" I may have received in exchange for my insurance claim being paid. read more

Gary helped me insure my new car with Allstate and made the process so simply. I know nothing about insurance, but have heard many stories from friends and family about how their insurance agent never comes through for him. Everytime I have a question, someone at his office picks up, either answers my question or calls me back the same day. The staff is always polite, informative and professional. I have my car insured at a much lower rate than my friends with the same deductibles, with much less hassle and a peace of mind. read more

I had a terrible experience with Allstate. I decided to get my car insurance through them since that's what my dad has, but they've been unhelpful, incompetent and waste my time and money. I was in a car accident, and they have been giving me the run around for days while my car accumulated days and fees in a tow yard. Each person I spoke with gave me a different story and advised me to do something different, and it looks like my accounts person gave me the wrong policy since she didn't ask some important questions when I got my car. They have wasted a lot of my time and money and, in hindsight, it's obvious they had no idea what they were doing. I'm ending my policy with them and will not be coming back. I would not recommend them to my friends and family, or anyone for that matter. Hope this review helps someone avoid getting in this situation! read more

My parents have had home insurance with Mr. Pinkis for almost twenty years, always paying on time. When they suffered storm damage and tried to collect, they were given the run around and treated unfairly. It seems such a shame that a company can collect people's money for decades and abandon them when they are in need. Now this company is refusing their claim. Be warned...there a reason that this guy is #28 in a small town! read more

This is the worst group of people ever. We had our first home insured with them for almost 4 years. Gary, never, never, never is available. When we bought our second home, we decided to stay with them. NOw they have two of our houses insured with them, and they still cant get it together. They never changed our address for mailing bills, even though I asked 2 months ago. They also did not even change our rental property policy into a rental policy. I do not understand these people. When I call them, I am told they will call me back adn they never do.. They always give some lame ass excuse about why they did not call back. I will be canceling my two housing policies with them and will take my business elsewhere. If they cant even get my address right, or return phone calls, I doubt they would be there if my house was ever damaged. AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS!!!! read more

If I could give less than 1 star I would. We have had Allstate for over 30 years, 15 of which were with Gary Pinkis. We still have our insurance through this office but will be leaving asap for a more competent place. They have really gone down the hill fast. We added a new car and come to find out it was NEVER added to our policy. I mailed information to them to use for our policy... Gary recalls seeing it but they didn't know where it went- they lost it so I personally took another copy in to make sure and yet again it wasn't added to our policy and I didn't find this out until we purchased another car and I took it in and they said it wasn't on our policy!!! WHAT THE HECK? Then the new car we added we never received our insurance card- it wasn't added. So we are basically driving around with no insurance assuming we do. The final straw is we sold and added a car and I took the paperwork in myself and they gave me a temporary insurance card and they assured me it was added and I just received a DMV notice they are suspending the registration due to NOT BEING INSURED! I just called the office (2:30) it rang over 20 times- no answer. Incompetent is putting is mildly- I will now report them to Allstate. This is unreal!!! read more

We had an amazing experience with All State, especially with Gary! Gary was honest, knowledgeable, courteous and very funny. We were looking for a new insurance company because we were very disappointed with Farmer's. Gary informed both my husband and I that we were overpaying and even double paying on some items! After one meeting, we decided to have our house and three cars insured. We couldn't be happier and to be honest, we feel like we're in great hands. We have recommended all of our friends and family to this location. Thank you to Gary and his wonderful staff at All State! read more

First time I have insured my car with Gary. I had no problem at all, they were quick to respond and to answer questions, also kept me updated with emails. I have other vehicles that I will insure with this agent. read more
