What our customers are saying..

To Whom it may concern;
I was used to sitting in insurance offices waiting my turn to see one "counter person" who took care of anyone waiting for service and others sat at their desks doing who knows what. Sometimes it was a considerable wait. I came to the Hood Agency because State Farm could not insure my newly acquired property. I stay with the Hood Agency because they provide exceptional personalized service by anyone in the office who is available. They provide not only this great service but at more reasonable rates than I was used to paying. Its not even a thought I have to go anywhere else for insurance and in fact I enjoy a certain peace of mind from dealing with Allstate in general and the Hood Agency in particular.

Drunk goggles prove a point


Isaac Bailey, left, looks to see how far off he veered while attempting to walk a straight line while wearing drunk goggles at the Volunteers In Policing booth at the Fairbanks Job Fair Tuesday afternoon, April 21, 2009 at the Carlson Center. The goggles, which simulate having a blood-alcohol level of .17-.20, were being worn by willing participants as V.I.P. coordinator July Bond, right, gave field sobriety tests. http://www.newsminer.com/photos/2009/apr/22/8560/

Several Feet Deep Pothole!?



Drivers have reported encountering a several-foot deep pothole on Bentley Access Road behind Sam’s Club in Fairbanks. The pothole is concealed by snowmelt and may not be visible to drivers. Anyone using the road, which connects College Road to the Old Steese Highway, is advised to exercise caution, as the hole is large enough to cause car damage.
