"Recently I’ve been assigned a new State Farm Agent, Monica, and I am beyond happy with the services & help she has offered me. Even with the high rates of today, Monica was able to offer better auto rates for both my vehicles and a life insurance plan, which she made very easy to do. Previously I did not have a good experience with my last agent, but I’ve done a full 180 and I am very pleased to be with State Farm. Quick , helpful, and honest service is what I received. I highly recommend their services!"
We responded:
"Hey D J, thanks a lot for your awesome review! I'm really happy to hear that Monica has been able to help you with better auto rates and a life insurance plan.
