ABOVE AND BEYOND

That's how I feel about the team at Barr's Insurance. We have had Barr's for our insurance needs for quite a few years now. We left for a short period of time to save $400.00 per year. BUT LET ME TELL YOU, we went back. The service you get, the personal attention you get to your specific needs is just the best. Being a Municipality you have to think about more than one family, you are responsible for the entire Township Population. Whatever the need, the question you might have, they respond to it immediately.

Thanks is not enough for this team they deserve so much more.

Most in-depth service...

I am sending this as a note of grateful thanks to the insurance team of Lori and Chris at Barr's Insurance that go above and beyond their call to ensure that everything and everyone that this school district needs to insure is protected with the most affordable and most complete coverage available.  They also provide the best and most in-depth service if there is any need with our insurance companies.  Well done!

So many options...

I have had Barr's Insurance (Jason Bidish) handle all of my insurance needs for my family and business for the past 8 years.  Jason has been very attentive to my ever changing needs.  He has always provided my family with excellent coverage at a great price.  He has taken the time to explain the details of each policy so I could be aware of my coverage.  The staff in the office are always quick to get me documents when needed.  It is great to have an agent and company with so many options to keep all of my insurance needs under on roof.  I would highly recommend Jason and the Barr's Insurance team!

Aaron

Saved us money...

When we switched insurance companies, Jason not only saved us money but went above and beyond to help us find the coverage that best fit our needs at the winery.  We had an incident last year and the process for the claim was simple and we had our money in less than a week.  We still can’t thank him enough.

Very helpful...

Recently I purchased a new home and Kayce and Joe were very helpful with getting me the coverage I needed and also helped in the transition from selling my prior home and being sure I was insured correctly during the transition. Recently we combined my auto insurance with my home insurance for additional discounts.

Fair and reasonable...

We have been with Barr’s Insurance for many years. We have always found them to be very caring and concerned with our needs. Their team works hard to find us the best plans at reasonable costs. This includes our healthcare, property, and bonding insurance needs.

When we have had questions or problems, they have always taken the time to find a solution that is fair and reasonable.

We would recommend Barr’s Insurance to any consumer or business that is looking for an insurance carrier that really does care about your company!

More than an insurance agency...

Twenty five years ago, my wife and I relocated to Oil City from Pittsburgh with our young and growing family.  We were so excited to buy our first home, but had so many concerns and questions. Thankfully, our realtor introduced us to the team at Barr’s to help lead us in our transition into our new home and into the community. 

Looking back through the journey of our family; three homes, fifteen vehicles, and three teenage drivers later, Barr’s insurance has been there every step of the way.  Expertly guiding and advising us in all of our insurance needs. To our family, Barr’s has been more than an insurance agency. The staff at Barr’s Insurance has become trusted friends.

Immediate responses...

My experience with Barr’s insurance Agency has been very positive so far, whenever I have questions about my policy, I call the agency and get  immediate responses, they always have good advice for me. My agent Tatiana is kind and professional, she helped me find the best options in terms of cost, when I had to include my teenage son in my auto policy last year. I switched to Barr’s from another Insurance agency, and  I’m happy to have made that decision!

An Agency I Can Trust...

Barr's Insurance has always been an agency I can trust. Their customer service is excellent. I wouldn’t recommend them to a client if I haven’t used them personally.

Competitive rates and great service...

I have been with Barr's Insurance for quite a number of years. I have always been impressed with the service I receive when I call with an issue. They are always polite and extremely helpful. I recently considered changing to a different company, but decided against it due to Barr's competitive rates and great service.

Barr's Insurance employees go the extra miles...

For the last ump-teen to 20 years, I have relied upon Chris Sobina from Barr's Insurance to administer our group insurance for our Seneca employees and for our Ft. Mohave, AZ employees. Why would I rely on Chris? Well, it is because he is a good man and he goes the extra 1000 miles to research informational requests on all types of insurance issues. He is always prompt and accurate. Speaking for myself, I would now call him a good friend and that takes a lot of doing everything right and doing nothing wrong. To further this point, I started to purchase my business property and liability insurance from Chris for the last 3 or 4 years. Fortunately, we have not had an insurance claim for many years but, on the downside I haven't had a chance to test the insurance policies to see if they will pay for anything. All kidding aside, I can't give all the credit to Chris Sobina; I have to give a lot of credit to every employee at Barr's. They are all great people to work with.

The best to work with...

I just want to say "Thanks" for everything you have done for myself and for Morgan. You have really helped us out and you are great to work with. You stayed late to help Morgan get her first car and insurance. Again, you are the best to work with and we do appreciate everything you have done with us.

Luella Beltz

Small town company with big city knowledge...

Through various places of employment, I have had the pleasure of having Barr’s Insurance as my company insurance carrier. In my opinion, there is none that is finer than Barr’s Insurance and their employees. The agents and customer service support staff have all been exemplary, and over time, folks I am honored to call friend. They are indeed a small town company with big city knowledge. There is no company I have found who will work harder for you or find a way to satisfy all of your business and personal insurance requirements. Insurance renewal is often a dreaded time of year, but not when you are working with a company as friendly and professional as Barr’s Insurance.

They treat us as a family and has saved us beaucoup bucks...

My wife and I have used Barr’s Insurance exclusively for our insurance needs for many years. We could not be any more satisfied or better protected! The people at Barr’s are consistently friendly, efficient, professional and available. They treat us as family! Chris Sobina is our personal agent and has saved us beaucoup bucks with his constant updates on our insurance needs.

For about 7 years, I served as the treasurer of the Venango County Humane Society. Insurance coverage and activities were a part of my duties. I could not count the number of occasions that Barr’s guided that organization through complicated situations with a kind and conscientious eye to providing for our insurance needs in the least expensive manner. They have, indeed, been a friend to the animals!

We would like to thank Rod Fee and Barr's Insurance for all your help and knowledge in regards to our insurance. Your experience has provided our family with additional coverage while saving us money. We feel very fortunate to have you as our agent!

I saved over $300 a year on Insurance costs...

I was very impressed by the customer service I received at Barr’s Insurance. Kerri was very thorough in explaining the different insurance options available. She also answered all my questions and concerns in a very timely, friendly, and professional manner. By switching to Barr’s I also saved over $300.00 a year on insurance costs.

Barr's Insurance goes above and beyond...

We were unhappy with our current insurance company and contacted Rod at Barr’s during 2012 to try to switch mid-term.  Rod worked very hard for us and was able to get quotes for our business policies, but at the time it would have cost more in cancellation fees so we decided not to move at the time.  We contacted him again at the end of 2013 and once again he went above and beyond and was able to secure us coverage at a substantial savings from what we were currently paying.  Everyone that we have dealt with at Barr’s has been great.  The customer service is excellent and I would definitely recommend them to anyone for personal and or business coverage.

We know that we can trust our agent, Rod Fee, to give us the right level of coverage at the right price. Not only at renewal time, but anytime throughout the year, Barr’s Insurance is readily available to answer any questions and to quickly provide support to us.
