Services
We've been in business since 1952! In 1969, our agency's former president, Bill Fawcett, joined the Ludwig Insurance Agency in Palo Alto, CA. Then, in 1972, Bill became a partner at the agency and it was renamed Ludwig & Fawcett, Inc. In 1980, Bill's wife Judy left her longtime position working for an insurance company and joined Ludwig & Fawcett, followed in the years to come by their sons Brady and Dave.
Brady has been working at Ludwig & Fawcett since 1981 and has been a licensed agent since 1984. Brady and his wife raised their two daughters in Mountain View where they have all been extremely active members of the community. Dave enjoys people, so he loves the chance to get to know clients and business associates.
Did you know you can control what you pay for Mountain View auto insurance? Auto insurance is best purchased when you have a licensed professional as your advocate. Licensed professional insurance agents help you get the best price and coverage, and good communication about your insurance factors is important.
Are you frustrated with the lack of good customer service? Are you tired of calling a company and getting someone in a foreign county? When you go to the store in Mountain View and ask for help, do you get a teenager who knows less than you do about your questions? If you are looking for Mountain View personal insurance including homeowner's insurance, auto insurance, RV, boat, or motorcycle insurance, it can be much easier than you think.
Most people have some gaps in their personal insurance coverage. We do our best to help our clients understand where these are and provide solutions so that these gaps don't exist. Having an independent agent help, you find the right kind of personal insurance for you can go a long way in providing you with peace of mind.

I have been with Ludwig and Fawcett for over 5 years now and have never been happier with their service. One person in particular is Maria Carranza, she has made my insurance decisions so easy to stay. She is very professional, attentive, friendly, and always knows exactly what I need. Because of Maria, she is the reason I have stayed with Ludwig & Fawcett. You won't be sorry with your decision to go with this company.

Our insurance broker Maria Carranza completely misinformed us of coverage on our personal liability despite the fact that in our email correspondence she said one thing, but really she had it all wrong. In fact her lack of knowledge on a policy she sold us cost us literally thousands when we had to make a claim. It took her 9 days to even respond to my husbands inquiry about our coverage. I'm nearly 40 years old, lived in three countries and have dealt with insurance for both car and personal for over 20 years. I've never dealt with this level of incompetence before. Save yourself the

There is no other insurance agent like this company. I've worked with Dave Fawcett from Ludwig and Fawcett. Super great service and recommendations from him on what to do for my insurance needs or when to make a claim. Very easy to access as well, and goes out of his way when you have a claim to try to make it as efficient as possible for you. Some examples are making the claim on your behalf, having a body shop lined up for you that he uses himself when incidents occur, checks with the body shop on how your claim is going and if there's anything he can do to help at any time, including

Poor and delayed service. I did not find any added value that they bring to the table. After over 5 years being with them, I decided to take all my insurance to GEICO where I found dealing with the 1-800 much more efficient and responsive than dealing with these folks.

I never made a claim on any of my insurance with them luckily. But if I needed a quote, or a clarification on a question about my insurance they got back to me on average 3-5 days. Unacceptable time to respond. If I ever needed to claim on a policy I am sure their time to respond would be much longer.

This place ROCKS! I have been doing business with Ludwig & Fawcett over 5 years and can not be happier. In fact all my insurances (car, home) are now managed by Kelly, Maria, and their staff. They are very professional, honest, quick, and available at any time. Each time I needed a new insurance, I got everything resolved within hours! The prices they provide are also unbeatable! They simply know what they are doing! Dave, the owner is phenomenal and nice. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an excellent service at the best possible price. Please please keep up the great

!!! THIS IS A 10 STAR REVIEW !!!

My family and I have been with Ludwig & Fawcett for more than 10 years and this review is long overdue. We have been insured through this office for everything from car insurance, homeowner's insurance, and now even to our business insurance. I cannot imagine using any other company but Ludwig & Fawcett.

Our family have been helped by Dave Fawcett throughout our service years with Ludwig & Fawcett, and I can say with the utmost confidence Dave exudes professionalism that is second to none. His service is impeccable and his work ethic is nothing

20 years later and I couldn't be happier with Ludwig & Fawcett. No one wants to pay for insurance, but it's a fact of life. Dave Fawcett makes it far less painful! I continue to recommend him to family and friends. This family business is top notch!

Every person needs three people in life: a great doctor, a great lawyer and a great Insurance Agent. Ludwig and Fawcett are by far the greatest insurer I have ever had. I met Dave Fawcett through a friend over 15 years ago and they will have my business as long as they here. The entire staff exhibits the highest level of personalized and professional service, always and without fail. They hold embody the nearly lost value of treating their clients like friends and family.

Kelly and rest of the team never fail to respond smartly and quickly. They proactively seek out the best deals for me. I know

Very professional staff, and knowledgeable. I can rely on them for any questions regarding auto insurance and or renters insurance.

Kelly and the other staff members are great at responding back to you.

I am a long time customer and don't plan on leaving. I like there services and I don't feel like I'm talking to robot or some agent who doesn't care.

I would definitely recommend them ask for Kelly, Maria, or Dave....all great at what they do!!!!

A few years ago I moved to the Bay Area and I was looking for auto and renters' insurance. I found this company on Yelp a few years and man, those reviews are true. Dave Fawcett has been working hard to find out all possible discounts and provide the best deal.

He was always eager to answer any questions I had and he actually walked an extra suggested a few options I didn't even knew were possible. This guy is definitely a pro!

I transferred my auto insurance to Ludwig & Fawcett about a year ago and have been very happy with their service! My agent is always available via phone or email which is a huge convienence for me as I'm always on my laptop. I'm currently in the market for business insurance and see myself as a "lifer" with Ludwig & Fawcett!! =D

I had been using AAA for over 10 years when my daughter introduced me to Ludwig & Fawcett a few years ago

I'm glad I switched. With Ludwig & Fawcett, I receive superior customer service; I get expert advice when I need it; I pay a lower premium than what I used to; and I find that everyone is very easy and pleasant to deal with. Dave has helped me fill out and review paperwork more than once. I am a very grateful client, to say the least!

Everyone in our household is now a customer but I would gladly recommend them to anyone that I know.

Our family has been using Ludwig and Fawcett for our insurance needs since the 1970s when bell bottoms were in style for the first time, and when Nixon was still in office (I think... ;)). There's a reason why they are still here and flourishing, it's because their pricing is still competitive with the online vendors, but they provide unparalleled personal service.

I don't think it's ever been more than 5 minutes before my agent called me back, if they weren't there on my first call. They take everything into consideration, and can explain in detail, a lot of things that

After using Yelp for years to find great companies, I finally decided to do my part and start contributing information. These guys are the reason Yelp exists. You could not ask for a better company to deal with. Family run, friendly, helpful and candidly honest about everything insurance, I use them for my personal and business insurance and recommend them to everyone I know. After dozens of referrals, every person I have told to talk with them has personally thanked me. That says a lot.

No matter who you have for insurance, or how long you have been with them, give these guys a call and

They are a great company. Bill, Dave and Victoria are the most professional and down to earth people i have ever met. When i started my landscaping business, i couldn't find anyone that could help me buy the insurance bond and liabilities. Thanks to bill, he was able to find a company for me within 2 days and i was able to secure a contract with a local government job.
