The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Does anyone here know if GEICO's quality has declined in the last five years since it began laying off 60% of the workforce, cutting advertising (Advertising is now being increased.) and raising prices? All I hear about is the increased profits.

Are they paying all valid claims? Is the customer service as prompt and knowledgable? Have policies in force risen or fallen?

I have my car insurance, home insurance and umbrella policy (home and umbrella through Travelers) with GEICO, but I haven't made any claims or called for service. Berkshire is also my largest stock holding, by far. I could use some reassurance that GEICO is not declining in quality. I appreciate your input.
