The SR22 shop agency CSS Insurance Services llc was founded in 1966, by Mary McKenna in Chula Vista, California across the street from the Department of Motor Vehicles in San Diego, California. CSS Insurance Services was one of the first agencies to begin issuing SR22 filings directly out of its offices. The first Insurance company that the sr22 shop started to write sr22 insurance for was, Financial Indemnity Insurance company, a representative from the corporate offices came into the agency and requested that Mary represent them. Shortly thereafter, other companies started to request that our agency begin writing sr-22 insurance and representing their companies as well. Mercury Insurance, Coast National Insurance, Progressive Insurance, Infinity Insurance, Leader Insurance, Drive Insurance, etc. all requested that CSS issue SR22 filings to their clients. Our state of the art rating software system was set up where the clients information was collected and submitted to all of the companies that CSS represents, each of the companies would respond to the request and the terms of each of the companies would be presented to the client. The client could then choose what plan was best for them. Included in the quote was also information regarding the company’s financial strength, payment structures and coverages. We have implemented that system into our rating software online, now a client can put their information into the SR22 rating system and find out the terms, pricing ,company names, company prices, Company’s financial strength ratings, all at their fingertips. The companies have authorized these prices to the California Department of Insurance.
