Garcia Martinez Insurance LLC was formed in 2011 by Phil Garcia and Richard Martinez in Bangor, MI. In 2014 we opened a branch in Wyoming, MI, and in 2018 moved to our current Grandville location. In 2021 Phil Garcia and Richard Martinez decided to split from their partnership, and Avalon Insurance Group was formed.
We greatly enjoy helping the community and small business owners. We take pride in being the insurance agency you can trust. We go above and beyond for our customers. You can get your confirmation and coverage in a number of hours rather than 2-3 business days at another agency. We often do same day certificates.
Being bilingual, we take time for each client individually. Large agencies treat people like a number, but we don’t. We work with many companies so that we are able to provide you with the best coverage at the best price.

What is an Independent Insurance Agent?
When you decide to buy a car, you wouldn’t purchase the first one you see. What if one day the automobile industry decided to make only one type of car, one make and one model. You wouldn’t have a choice!
The same situation holds true for insurance. You need insurance to drive a car, to purchase a house, to protect your family’s financial future and to run a small business. But if there was only one insurance company that offered only one type of insurance, you wouldn’t have a choice. The only solution would be going to that one company.
With an independent insurance agent, you have choices. Independent agents are not tied to any one insurance company. One of the advantages of using an independent agent is that he or she works to satisfy your needs. You are using an expert for an important financial decision.
An independent agent has several companies that he or she can approach to get you the best coverage at the best price. And your independent agent will know the companies with the most efficient claims departments to recover your losses as quickly as possible.
When you buy insurance, you want an advocate who will properly assess the risks you face and give you an objective analysis of the marketplace, because it’s up to you to make the final choice.
