I've been using a local insurance carrier almost in the neighborhood. I've had Erie insurance (with our representative Charlie Peterson) for about 2 years. I have 2 cars and my homeowners with them (it seems that when you do that you really get a discount) They are really responsive so far though I haven't had to place a claim yet with them (knock on some solid wood). You can check him out on-line: www.petersoninsurance.com
The reason why I found them competitive is because they don't do any advertising, which saves them money. (thus the savings passed to us) Not to mention I found him to be a people person, truly understanding of ones needs. Dan Myers ----- Original Message ----- From: "R.
