Acquired by Heffernan Network Insurance Brokers in January 2023, Kettering-Rose Insurance on Fuerte Drive in La Mesa's Mt Helix corridor has concentrated on commercial-lines brokerage since its 2004 founding. The agency's commercial-property placements cover asset classes from retail storefronts to investment portfolios managed through transactions with agents like Amber McGuire, Real Estate Agent. Public-auto-sector expertise sets the brokerage apart—it writes commercial auto, hired-and-non-owned, and garage-keeper's liability for transportation companies, livery services, and for-hire fleets operating under California Public Utilities Commission TCP authority. General liability and workers' compensation programs extend to service-industry clients including the home-health agencies—like All Heart Home Care—that require hired/non-owned-liability and abuse/molestation endorsements alongside standard GL. Through the Heffernan Network's Travelers appointment and surplus-lines access, the brokerage places its most complex accounts on layered programs combining primary auto liability, excess/umbrella towers, and MCS-90 endorsements for interstate motor carriers.
