I'm in the business and repairs on cars has gone through the roof. You tap someone now days and your talking $3000 per car to replace those plastic bumpers. Hit someone a little harder and you now have cameras, frame work, etc... and now that bill is $8000. Lets then hope your not sued for injury. Also for Homeowners inflation the past 3 years has driven up the cost of materials which hasn't helped either.


If you have insurance with an Captive agent like State Farm, Allstate, etc.... your only getting one choice. You should shop your insurance with an independent agent that represents 10 to 15 different companies. That State Farm and Allstate agent only choice is to try and talk you into staying with them.
