Outstanding service

Ryan Hinds

Feb 25, 2021

I've had State Farm for 20 years. I was involved in an accident in Oct. 2020 in which my vehicle was totaled by an uninsured motorist who was at fault. It took State Farm nearly 3 months to resolve the situation. Over two weeks just to appraise my vehicle. I had to do the entire claims process myself without no help from anyone. They also tried to low ball me in my payoff significantly. I was left feeling like it was my fault. No one cared, in fact some of State Farm's employees made jokes. Not to mention I was out over $1400 in rental expenses. Once I got a new car, and bound the coverage at the agreed upon premium, I get notified 2 months later they found a premium shortage! Needles to say, I immediately switched companies. I will not be returning to State Farm again. All around, a prime example of a company caring more about the $$$ over their clients.

Even though all businesses are stretched to the limit during this difficult period in history, the service that I received from our State Farm team was simply outstanding, as usual. In 30 years they have always been there for us. Definitely recommend them.

As long as you have all required information and go through the application process, coverage can begin immediately. For the most accurate quote, you’ll need to know your car’s make, model, mileage, and year. We’ll also need to know a little about you and your driving history.

How much insurance coverage should I have on my home?

Buzz Tarver - State Farm Insurance Agent | Jul 13, 2022
Buzz Tarver - State Farm Insurance Agent | Jul 13, 2022

The choice is yours, but State Farm recommends you choose a coverage limit at least equal to your home’s estimated replacement cost. (The estimated replacement cost isn’t the same as the market value, which is the price you can expect your home to yield on the market.) If you choose a coverage amount less than the estimated replacement cost, you may not be eligible for certain coverages. Since no one can say what the exact cost will be to replace your home in the future, you’ll need enough coverage to account for unforeseen circumstances.
