Any informed assessments of Allied Insurance?

I can get somewhat cheaper auto insurance from Allied, but have not heard of this company. Googling for reviews get mixed results. Has anyone had experience with them - customer service, paying claims, etc.?
Response by poster: Thanks, VTX! I won't mark this resolved yet, in case of others' experiences, but that was just what I hoped to hear.

FYI, Allied is a subsidiary of Nationwide, a major national player.
But for information specific to you, go to the Tennessee Department Of Commerce And Insurance website. It has a consumer resources website. Find the "Complaint Data" link. Some states have their own database, but apparently TN uses a national database (NAIC).
From there I'm not sure if you need to look up Nationwide or Allied. The data for Allied Insurance Co of America doesn't look right. But if I look up Nationwide (Nationwide Affinity specifically), I can click on the "Closed Complaint Ratio Report" and then select "Private Passenger" to see how the company ranks.
Unfortunately this information isn't as good as what some states' own websites provide. Perhaps you can call the TN insurance department and ask for help.

Be careful. There are many companies that have Allied in their name-some good some very bad.

We only switched because another company had cheaper rates and he said that they are just as good so if the next time we're up for renewal we can get a better deal with Allied, we'll absolutely switch back.
