What our clients are saying
"Jim has helped me with my car insurance for years now, I hate to say this on here but I did speak to another broker just to see what they can find and Jim beat them with his rates hands down. The other company wasn't sure how Jim does it but he did it. He has found great rates for our teenage driver which saved us over 100.00 a month! same coverage. Jim has always been easy to get a hold of and very prompt with his responses. He found ways to help us save that the other company did not find. I have referred him out to my family and friends and will continue to do so. Thank you, Jim you have been amazing."
"Great people, especially Jackie."
"Very knowledgeable people, highly recommend!!!"
"Jim has been a great agent to our family for 9 years, with home and auto insurance. He is always quick to respond to our questions and needs, and I would recommend him and the agency to anyone!"
"I have been with Shanahan Insurance for about a year now. I worked with Jim Shanahan to set up an Auto and Home policy which was 25% lower of a rate then my large insurance company I was dealing with. I switched to Shanahan insurance when I spoke to some neighbors and the few that spoke of Shanahan, spoke highly of him. My wife was involved in a minor car accident 4 months ago which she slid onto a center curb area. I called Jim and in no time he set us up with an excellent auto body place who took very good care of us and dealt directly with our insurance. This was my first claim ever that was worth having insurance. 2 other companies in the past I was with and they did nothing to help me. I was very impressed with how easy Jim and his team made it for us during a stressful time. Thank you for all you do!"
"Shannahan Insurance is an amazing local independent agency representing multiple insurance carriers providing the ultimate coverage for your families and/or businesses. Each time I've needed their assistance; they were there for me over the last 25 years since living in Frankfort."
"I have been with Shanahan Ins for many years, & they have always been very helpful. But I have to say for this past year I have had Brittnee Kwaak as an Ins Agent, & she is the best. She is very thorough & reliable, & friendly. She has been so helpful in every way. I just wanted to put that out there because she is very down to earth & treats you like a person not like just like another costumer! Thank you, Brittnee, for being such a great agent"
