About Us
WHO WE ARE
Paul Shingledecker started Preferred Insurance Services 40 years ago with a dream and a church directory. With the support of his family and strong Christian values, Preferred Insurance grew to the 6 locations and over 20 carriers we have today. After 40 years of running Preferred Insurance, Paul retired in September of 2024. His son Lucas now runs the agency with the same love and devotion Paul has shown over the years.
Despite growing leaps and bounds over the years, Preferred Insurance takes pride in being a family oriented organization. When you do business with us, you become part of our family.

Agent Kelly Kovach was extremely professional, super kind, and saved us a ton of money on our auto insurance! I will definitely recommend her at Preferred Insurance Services to my friends and family!
Alisia Herrygers/ Schoolcraft MI
I would definitely recommend their services. My agent, Jennifer Miller, was fantastic. She was very professional and knowledgeable, and yet, very personable. She went above and beyond for us that day. The entire staff that was present when we were there were also very friendly and hospitable. In today’s world, we seldom see this kind of customer service. It’s nice to know that we can still get it, it does make a difference. We really appreciate it.
