I know all insurance has gone up but Maureen tried for a few days to see if there was anything better out there. Saved a little bit but I appreciate the time and effort she took trying. As usual she gave 100% wouldn’t go anywhere else for my insurance.

Highly recommended

Called Laurie Ross to deal with our insurance as it was tricky to get decent insurance online for a single company vehicle. All the team were knowledgable and were able to speak to an aviva underwriter straight away to confirm they were willing to accept NCD in personal name etc. Seamless and professional service and the price came in so much cheaper than we could get elsewhere! Highly recommended.

Loyal customer of Laurie Ross

I have been with Laurie Ross (Cumbernauld/Kirkintilloch branch) for a number of years now. Saves me the hassle of finding the best insurance for my car and in the event I have an accident, they assured me that they will handle everything for me!

Great service and friendly team

Cannot fault Ross who helped me the whole way through. The whole team at the rutherglen branch are extremely helpful and they work as a team which helped when Ross was busy.
I have used them before and never had an issue so was delighted to have another faultless experience
