"First and foremost, all of us at Knies Insurance Group want to extend our thoughts and prayers to anyone affected by the COVID-19 Virus in our community. Our agency, located in Honey Brook, remains open under normal working hours; however, our doors are closed to walk-ins, in compliance with the Governor’s pandemic orders. Current and potential clients can contact us via telephone (610-273-3756), email ([email protected]), texting (610-947-4638), or online chat via our website (www.KniesInsurance.com). Despite the stay at home order, we have been busy fielding requests from our existing clients and helping new prospective clients, as well. One of the biggest questions that we are hearing is what can we do to help clients that have a premium payment due but can’t make the payment because they are out of work or their business is shuttered? Most of our insurance carriers have made accommodations to their payment terms. Some companies have been extending due dates 30 to 60 days out. If we can be of assistance to anyone… existing client or otherwise, we welcome their calls, emails, or texts! Knies Insurance Group is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm."
Morview Garage is open for business as usual. Doors are open if anyone needs repair work done on their vehicle, call 610-913-7133.
