"I had a fender bender and there was no damage to the other person’s car. I came home and filed a claim via the app. I went for my estimate and it’s very low so I called the State Farm main number to cancel the claim. I was told that they couldn’t because it had to be investigated. I explained that there wasn’t anything to investigate but I couldn’t get anywhere with the rep. I called Lino’s office and spoke with Selene who contacted the claims office and got it canceled for me. They were making it into WWIII but Selene took care of it. So glad not to have this to deal with this at all."
"Jennifer - I am so glad that Selene was able to help you! Like you, we deal with people every day on their worst days, because they have a car accident, burning homes or deaths in the family- that is our job and why we are "Like a Good Neighbor"! Thank you for taking the time to do the.Review, and I will surely pass it on to Selene. Please share your experience with your friends and have them give me a call or visit www.AskLino.com!"

"I spoke to Ele on the phone and I’m sure glad I did. She was very professional and quite helpful in resolving a possible rate increase in my premium. She did the math and the calculations showed the upcoming premium renewal was reduced. Therefore, I can splurge on buying two cartons of eggs! Thank you Ele, Selene and Lino… State Farm rocks!"
"Marcia- I love your review! Given the economic pressures we're all facing these days, it is important to know maximize your insurance coverage as best you can. I'm glad that Ele was able to help you do that today! Thanks for being a loyal customer, and please tell a friend!"

"Can’t recommend this establishment enough. I recently had a flat and was stranded. I didn’t have access to any benefits (because I’m under my parents insurance) and called in to get help. They dispatched someone right away to help me. Selene stayed in contact with me to make sure I was okay and keep me updated frequently as I had never had been in this situation before. Ele is always a pleasure to talk to! She is so helpful and understanding with me. I’m young and not familiar with how things works, but she is always so sweet and takes her time to explain things to me. Lino is great, super knowledgeable and always happy to see me. When I see him around, we always have great conversations and he makes an effort to get to know his clients. Lino and his crew are the best! I always recommend my friends to them."
"Isabel- Thank you SO MUCH for the awesome review of my State Farm office! That is precisely why we are here and why we're different than those other online based insurance companies where you never talk to a real person who knows your situation! That's why we are "Like a Good Neighbor"! We especially like working with young customers like yourself. Because you have a lifetime full of insurance needs to deal with learning how to do it when you're younger, makes it much easier when you get older like us!🤣 Anyway, thanks again and send those friends our way!"
