On top of that, their insurance cut our premiums by almost half over what we were paying with Met for better coverage!

Now, insurance wise, I can certainly attest to their customer service. My car had a bullseye on it when I was doing that commute. 4 hits in less than 2 years. In one case, I got the car back from the bodyshop on a Monday only to be rear ended by a Dodge Ram on Soldiers Fields Rd 4 days later

In every claim, settlement was very quick. Absolutely no complaints. Highly recommended.
I agree on the AAA. Each year when it's time to renew, we hem and haw and ask if it's worth it, and every year we have 2-3 occasions when it absolutely pays for itself. Earlier this year, the transmission in our big truck went -- while my wife was commuting to NJ. The tow job back to our friendly neighborhood mechanic would've been horrendously expensive, and AAA+ covered it.

On the insurance front, we switched to AAA Mid-Atlantic, and were quite pleased for a number of years, until some clown filed a claim when he turned into my wife's lane and she slightly scraped his REALLY beat-up car. He filed a $5,000 claim, and their underwriters just paid it out with no question -- so then we have this big-a$$ claim on our record when HE was at fault and the damage was minor cosmetic stuff. Lesson learned: No matter how minor the ding, and how friendly the guy in the other car, ALWAYS have the cops come & ALWAYS file a report. They jacked our rates through the roof after that, so I left them.

But, anyway, to bring it back to the Lake (), I highly recommend Trite's for Wolfeboro-area automotive care.
