“I’ve had my insurance with Derek and Owen for over 15 years. They provide competitive rates and excellent customer service. They are always available to assist, even after hours. I’ve called their cell on a Saturday morning when I had questions and needed help with a claim. They walked me through the whole process and made me feel very at ease. I would recommend their services to anyone!”
