If you are reading this because you are doing your diligence in searching for affordable insurance coverage, I am going to say the quiet part out loud.
The insurance industry as a whole in 2026 sucks. The pricing structure sucks, the claims process sucks, and when you reach out to the insurance carriers for anything beyond taking your premium, it is a hassle that is really not needed.
I went to a body shop in the area for an estimate, received the estimate and submitted it to my insurance carriers claims department.
What I always knew was most mainline insurance carriers use LexisNexus as a guide for insurance industry standard replacement cost. What I did not know was that the guide uses a form of “Steiner math” to calculate replacement cost on my wife’s Mazda.
I reached out to Gina because she has been my listed agent now for three years. “Gina I need guidance, because you have had 16 years experience working in insurance, and I am not following along with how LexisNexus Steiner math works. I just really need to fix my wife's Mazda.”
Over these three years, Gina has always been the one to guide, to teach, to ADVOCATE for her insureds in the Massillon, Canton, Kent areas and she brings with her a rolodex of contractors within The Good Hands Network that can get your vehicle right when mayhem happens.
