What Our Clients Are Saying
I’ve worked with insurance companies all over the country and nobody understands co-ops better. We’re so glad to have Dane and the team’s expertise and top-notch service.
Chris
GM, Sugar Beat Food Co-Op
Our relationship with Kapatoes Insurance has now spanned almost two decades. Their dedication, diligence, follow-through, and customer service are unmatched in the industry. We ONLY recommend Kapatoes for everyone’s insurance needs.
Kevin
CEO of Roots Market
When it comes to working with insurance issues and claims it can be a bit overwhelming, but working with the wonderful Kapatoes team of Great American Insurance Company has been a tremendous help. We recently went through a claims process that was initially denied. Because of Dane’s experienced advice we kept pursuing other avenues until we got the specific information needed from the refrigeration company we were dealing with. Dane and Nicole knew just how to advise us and to follow through as needed to get the claim approved and processed. They knew it would take time but that it was not worth giving up on. Thanks to them the check is going to the bank tomorrow!
Vera Foronda, Finance Manager
Mariposa Food Co-op
Our agency contacted Kapatoes Insurance Services to quote a fruit and vegetable wholesaler. Dane Meisler contacted me immediately to respond to my inquiry. I found Dane to be very responsive and knowledgeable of his product. Our insured was a little bit outside of the normal box and Dane worked with us to make a good fit in both product and pricing. It was a real pleasure to work with someone who truly knows his market. I would highly recommend Kapatoes Insurance Services for your distributor needs.
