Thornton drivers deal with a lot of daily traffic — I-25 running straight through town, the Washington Street and 120th Avenue corridors during rush hour, and steady growth adding more cars to the road every year. More traffic means more fender-benders and more claims, which is exactly why your auto insurance shouldn't be a one-size-fits-all policy. Hessling Insurance is an independent agency, so we compare rates and coverage across multiple carriers to find what actually fits your driving situation in Thornton — not just whatever one company happens to offer.
Colorado requires minimum liability coverage to legally drive, but minimum coverage rarely means adequate coverage if you're ever in a serious accident. We help you understand what you actually need, including:
Every insurance carrier prices risk a little differently — some weigh your commute distance more heavily, others focus more on vehicle type or driving history. Because we're independent, we're not tied to one carrier's formula. We shop your specific situation — your car, your commute, your driving record — across several companies and bring back the options that actually make sense, rather than a single quote you have no way to compare.
Getting a quote takes just a few minutes, and because we compare multiple carriers for every Thornton client, you're seeing real options instead of one number. Get your free quote →

Our focus is excellent customer service, it is very important to us. Unlike some agencies we answer the phone. If for some reason we are on the phone with another client, we will call you back as soon as possible. * We understand your time is valuable.
We have taken our own time to research different things for customers to help them out, ie, I spent 1.5 hours researching to find a non-profit that would help one of our customers get a new roof because her roof was old and the insurance company would not replace it because it did not have hail damage. She needed a new roof but was not able to purchase one because she was single and on a limited budget.
If you are shopping for a new car and have the Vin number, we are happy to provide you with a quote for the possible new car. For our current customers if they go to a dealership after hours and make arrangements with us prior to going to the dealership we will give them a quote for the new car they are looking to purchase. We do not want our customers to have sticker shock after the purchase of a new car. Some cars can have very high insurance costs and we maybe able to help you make a more informed decision about the purchase.
Rates depend on your driving record, vehicle, coverage limits, and how far you commute. Because traffic density varies by area, comparing quotes across carriers — which we do automatically — usually turns up better pricing than a single quote.
Colorado requires liability coverage of at least $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, and $15,000 for property damage. Most drivers carry more than the minimum, since it doesn't go far after a serious accident.
