Contacted Lorna Courchesne in Sudbury to quote auto & tenants insurance. She answered all my questions, ensured I was sufficiently covered, saved me money and provided excellent insurance advice with respect and reliability. Extremely helpful! I HIGHLY recommend! Thank you Lorna & Gifford Carr Insurance Group

I Just wanted to say a big thank you to Mrs Brenda William , She's genuine kindness and bluntness at times when I needed to face reality are what made me progress. I invested $500 and got $7000 in a week. I only wish I had known about you earlier from the first moment I decided to trade. Nevertheless, I am grateful! contact her via Email:brendawilliam784@gmail.com WhatsApp:+1 (805) 491-5639

Mandy G. is my account manager. She is truly amazing and has always been a pleasure to deal with. Running various businesses is a challenge and having the right insurance coverage is crucial. Mandy is always available to quickly adjust vehicle policies and provide general liability slips for our clients on short notice. Thank you for all you do!

As a local Re/Max Realtor, I have no hesitation in highly recommending the Gifford Carr Insurance Team for any of your insurance needs. Their staff is helpful and have always been a pleasure to deal with on my own family’s policy coverages. They have also been excellent with any client referrals that I have sent them over the past number of years as well. Thank You Gifford Carr Insurance Group.

I've been with Gifford for a long time. In the beginning things were good, but as they grew the service started to slowly decline. As others have mentioned in other reviews I had problems with calls & emails being returned by Brenda. When contact was eventually made there was no apology & in fact excuses were made. I brought my concerns up with Mark (owner) and it simply fell on deaf ears as he had her call me back after when I specifically said I no longer wanted to deal with her. If the owners provide that kind of an example to their staff then what can you expect? I also felt they seemed to

Positive: Responsiveness
I was referred by my self-storage for Gifford and car for a quote on storage insurance. Of course it was Friday when I called and needed insurance on Saturday. I worked with Andree Crawford. I appreciated her going above and beyond by working the weekend and timely responses to provide a time sensitive request.

We have been using Gifford Carr Insurance for all our Insurance needs over the past 8 years now! They are wonderful. Anytime we have questions I will receive a prompt response. Just recently we had an issue with a third party and Karen our agent went above & beyond to rectify the issue, and regardless of the road blocks they gave Karen would not… stop fighting for us until it was resolved! Not only have we saved hundreds of dollars each year, the customer service is unbeatable! Anytime I hear that someone is shopping around for Insurance agents I always recommend Gifford Carr Insurance

I have been a long time client of Giffords but I am disappointed with the service over the years. I feel my business is being taken for granted. Phone calls go unreturned, I have renewed my home policy with another insurance company and have obtained much better coverage all the while saving over 60% over their quoted rate. Unfortunately complacency has cost you a client.

I was not impressed on how I was treat by one of the brokers in the office, I had switched by banking info and for some reason they said they never received it and yes of course I keep everything when I call the office to speak to Brenda she was very rude and basically called me a liar and when I gave her proof she them offered me a credit of$35 dollars and raised my insurance still to over $100 monthly... Not much of a bargain there..!! How do you justify charging those rates !! I just found insurance for my newer vehicle I just purchased 3 years newer and it is still 25$ monthly cheaper...!!

I had my previous insurance with another company for years. Then their rates went up dramatically with no explanation. It was like a take it or leave it attitude. As soon as I called Karen Benell from Gifford & Associates she was like a breath of fresh air. She worked on my file and got the right company for our house insurance and we ended up paying exactly what we use to pay for more coverage. So appreciative for Karen's help. Since then we have moved other insurance products to Karen and each time she displayed a professional and caring attitude to us. Thank you Gifford & Associates for having
