OUR HISTORY:
After working as an insurance adjuster, special agent and commercial sales manager for Erie Insurance, William G. Mechling bought the William J. Allison Agency in 1966. “We have been a family operation since our inception. Every member of our agency is either family or is treated as such,” Mechling said. “This instills loyalty and integrity in both our employees and clientele. These are rare attributes when you consider the atmosphere of today’s business world.”
“From the beginning, we pledged to provide the best coverage available through companies that share our philosophy and that are financially stable and enduring. We pride ourselves on giving our clients quality customer service to ensure we meet their needs. We are open Monday through Friday 8:30 to 5 PM and evenings by appointment,” added Mechling. “We give the public access to superior A-rated companies coupled with an educated and dedicated staff, which is ready, willing and able to provide the recommendation and service necessary for our client’s protection in today’s complicated market. In addition to Erie Insurance, we offer Progressive Insurance, Agency Insurance Company (AIC), Foremost Insurance, Briar Creek Mutual Insurance Company, American Collectors Insurance and Western Surety. We extend many thanks to our clientele, past, present and future.”
