What our clients are saying
"I have been dealing with Garwood, Buda & Knight for well over 30 years...pretty much my entire driving "career". For a good part of those years, Kelly has been my agent. She has ALWAYS been helpful, responds quickly to random insurance questions and is very knowledgeable. She will always do her best to find the best insurance at the best price. I often have coworkers tell me to check out their insurance company and when I send them my policy they will admit they can't come close the coverage for what I currently pay. I would highly recommend this company for all of your insurance needs!"
"Christina helped me find a cheaper car insurance, and I couldn't be happier with how nice, professional, and fast she was, at taking care of everything for me! Very smooth process overall, in the end saving me a lot of money! I will absolutely recommend GBK & Associates to my friends and family."
