Insurance professionals have long known that a satisfied customer is far more likely to provide repeat business in the long term.

According to J.D. Power and Associates, customer satisfaction with their auto claims experience stood at 842 on a 1,000 point scale. In contrast, the same study found satisfaction among homeowners to be 828 out of a 1,000 point scale.
