A.M Best has given it a rating of B, which means that it has a good ability to meet its obligations with its clients. In 2010, it was reported that Workmans Auto Insurance does not credit score. This insurance company supported H.B 2513 which opposes the usage of credit scoring in the processing of application for automobile insurance. This bill was proposed by the commissioner of Washington Insurance, Mike Kreidler.

According to the President and Chief Executive Officer of Workmans, one’s credit is not the business of the insurance company, but of the individual himself. He reassures the company’s clients that the price they pay for their insurance will always be based on their record for driving, the kind of coverage they want, and where they live, and never on their credit score.

Workmans Auto Insurance has been established in 1949, and is owned by the Shammas family, one of the founding families of Los Angeles. It focuses on dealing automobiles, and holding real estates. In particular, their company includes seven dealerships for automobiles, an insurance company for automobiles, and various residential and commercial properties that can be found in the Figueroa Corridor at the south of downtown L.A. Moreover, the Shammas Group actively supports for-a-cause activities, such as the restoration of the district of the south downtown L.A. Aside from that it is part of the Business Improvement District, the Community Redevelopment Agency’s Strategic Plan for the Figueroa Corridor, and the Central City Association. The group also believes that a better understanding and relation between the city where the company can be found, as well as the business itself is the key to further success.
