The problem is nobody answered the phone so it went straight to voicemail. I left a VM to call me back. A day goes by and nobody called me back. I called again and I got sent to voicemail. Nobody ever called me back. I got fed up and drove to Downey Insurance's office location in Marlborough just to ask a simple question. The woman at the front desk gave me the wrong information and said I had to pay a $300 deductible for the damage if I opened a claim through them. I told her it wasn't my fault and I had all the other driver's license and insurance information. It was not a hit and run. She said I would still be responsible for a $300 deductible. I found out later by speaking to my insurance company directly that what she told me was not true. I wouldn't have to pay anything. I would not recommend this agency.

When you take out insurance through an agency, the minimum you expect is effective and qualified communication, but this is not the case with G & N Insurance.

Why does G & N exist even if you can do it all online? Terrible experience!

No one wants to have to call or visit an insurance company. Generally it's hard to understand what…read morethey're talking about, and you're probably not there for a fun reason. I have been insured through A Affordable for about 5 years now. Recently I had a policy cancelled due to nonpayment. I'm not a slacker, I just have a crazy schedule and I missed it. Anyway after dealing with the first part and discovering I needed to sign up with a different insurance company (remember, A Affordable is an AGENCY), I received a call from an employee named Rich M. He actually reached out to me via email, too, so I had the number right in front of me. First thing off the bat was that his hours were great for working people. Not sure if all the agents do this but he was scheduled until 8. So great for me! I called him back on the direct line he had provided and he picked up right away. No phone tree or operators. I had a lot of questions still about why my original policy was canceled. He took the time to look into what had happened, even though I was calling him for a completely different task far down the line. He explained everything to me in a way I could understand before he moved on to signing me up for a new policy. He went ahead, put me on hold and got quotes from the companies A Affordable works with. He came back with the lowest quote, which had nearly doubled from my last policy. Obviously, I was pissed. But, this was not Rich's fault, or A Affordable's fault, or the insurance company's fault. I was the one who had messed up, and now because of the lapse in insurance, my rate was much higher. Rich explained all of that to me. He empathized with me, saying that the same thing had happened to him, and agreed that it sucked. He went through all the processes and explained what to bring to the DMV and what to do afterward. He emailed me electronic forms right then, so I could electronically sign them and send them back immediately. No waiting, no visits to the office. Tomorrow I will go to the DMV and it will be all set. So, even though what happened was shitty, Rich helped me out, didn't make me feel like he was judging me for missing a payment and not realizing for so long, and oddly made me feel better. It was all so convenient. Posting a review is the least I could do for a compassionate guy who made me feel a bit better on a bad day. Thanks Rich!

Bit of a mixed bag over the years. We were doing business with an agency in Needham. Kaplansky…read moretook over the accounts and we've stayed with them so far although as of late I am having thoughts of moving my business. I've been doing business with this office for over 30 years. When we were purchasing a house from the builder, he kept moving the closing date around, Each time we needed an updated insurance binder. That may be a simple thing to do perhaps, but the people in the Needham office took care of it with no issues. They made sure we had what we needed. Excellent job. The worst issue I had was when the wrong driver was assigned points in an accident. Also, according to the paperwork the same driver was driving both cars in the accident. The Needham office was unable to fix the problem. I could go into the gory details as to why but its irrelevant. Two different people in the Needham office were unable to resolve the issue over 3 years. They would stop looking at it unless I prompted them with a phone call. I somehow got in touch with Nilda in the Cambridge office and she was able to figure out why this was going on and knew exactly how to fix it. Can't say enough good things about Nilda. Unfortunately she is part time. She actually remembered the original agency I started with(my cousins). Overall, the Needham office has been lackluster in solving problems. Another time I called up to get changes done to my insurance and the person(yet a third person) that was helping me seemed excellent, until a long weekend happened and she simply dropped my matter. I had to call up to get her started on it again and I had to remind her what it was she was working on. She had forgotten our discussions entirely until I prompted her. The other negative is that most insurance companies and agents will proactively ask you questions to try and get you the discounts appropriate for you. eg. Good GPA driver, driver lives more than 100 miles from home...etc. Every year I have to call up and play twenty questions with someone in the Needham office to get them to apply the proper credits/discounts. I feel like I don't have an agent as I am doing all the work. My wife and I were outright thinking of leaving Kaplansky. It occurred to me today that perhaps I should just contact a different office and have someone there do the work. I might try this before I leave. I'm uncertain.
