The MAGCAR story
Peter and Carol Callesano founded MAGCAR in 1993. They knew they wanted to open an insurance agency in the area to help serve the needs of the community, but they had no idea what to call it! So they looked to their young daughters for inspiration: Maggie and Carol Anne. That’s MAGGIE and CAROL ANNE… MAGCAR! And so the name was born.
Our friendly staff has been with MAGCAR for many years and feels like family. We look forward to working with you.
