Trying to navigate the quagmire that is car insurance was a rather daunting task - Amanda's team was with us to help us all the way through, and Chelsea Burdick's patient-as-a-saint attitude helped deal with all of my daft questions. Huge kudos, and I'll definitely use them again if we have more insurance needs! Thank you Amanda and Chelsea for helping me navigate the salty sea of insurance.

Michelle was extremely accommodating in setting up a time that would work with my husband's hectic schedule, she was fully prepared for our meeting, was extremely knowledgeable and took all the time necessary to explain and go over any questions we had. We had a follow up email to our meeting later in that same day confirming and listing all changes or additions to our policies. What fantastic customer service!! I would also like to mention how fabulous Michelle's support staff is. I did call back with a question the following day and Dianna and Michelle F. were just as pleasant and helpful as Michelle L. I would highly recommend Michele Linker and her staff from State Farm. They are without a doubt the best staff at State Farm we have worked with in 25+ years!!

Saved big bucks with different insurance company. Nationwide entered the date of insurance change wrong (whose typo ? doesn't matter). The DMV said I had a lapse in my insurance. It took this office several weeks to correct it. The DMV threatened to take my plates and at the 11th hour after I called the corporate office repeatedly, it was finally escalated. The local office should have escalated it after the first week. It was finally corrected, I believe more because of what I did than what they did. So more than once I was frustrated by slow weak action.

I was going to the office on Avent ferry rd In Raleigh and customer services was amazing . Fast forward 4 years today I'm back with direct auto because it cheaper with adding my child who is a first time driver . I set up my policy with Juliet a year ago who was amazing plus customer service friendly. she responded to emails returned my phone calls in a timely matter. Something happened and my policy was canceled I called Juliet to asked why but she was on vacation so the young lady who picked up the phone Theo was her name was just as nasty as she can be made me feel like why am I giving this company my money . She couldn't explain nothing sounded like she didn't even want to help me kept putting me on hold coming back laughing apologizing saying she was looking I got so feed up because I wasn't getting the help I needed I just stated to her I will wait to Juliet comes back she said ok have a good day and hung up on me that made me feel like she wasn't even trying to help anyway i emailed Juliet she called back 2 day later after her vacation and got me set with no problem I now referred my sister and 2 co workers. so today my really good friend needed insurance for her car I referred her to Juliet. when she called they say she no longer with company What a bummer but the girl who answered was so rude to her than stated Juliet is no longer with the company I'm talking over all her clients and rushed her off the phone I asked who was it and long and behold she said Thea/Theo she said I don't want that company thank you but no thank you

I went into this office with my fiancé who had already spoken to Sam about his insurance needs. He…read morewanted to ask more questions about the quotes in person. We went inside and there were like 3 people on the phones. Once 1 guy was done, he asked us what we needed & he got Sam for us. Sam was friendly and patient. My fiancé had A LOT of questions & Sam provided his opinion on each scenario. The issue I had was that I saw my fiancé's EX-WIFE's information on the screen & that caused a bit of an issue because Sam said he was giving a discount based on 2 drivers when there would only be 1! I let him talk until he referred to me by the ex's name. How annoying! You really shouldn't assume, and my fiancé almost got embarrassed by Sam's mistake. I didn't know what they had been talking about on the phone. I just knew that they've been divorced for years and he shouldn't be calling me her name. Also, my fiancé said he never had a policy with her, so he didn't understand why her information would be on the same screen with him as if they were together. I guess it came from some insurance background report Sam pulled. Outside of that mistake, Sam was easy to deal with. The office was a bit dirty and dusty though, which was pretty gross. There were huge cobwebs in the waiting area & his desk was covered with dust. He wasn't professionally dressed either & it looked like he rolled out of bed and came to work. I guess it's cool if his boss allows it. They still need to clean!!! I have my own insurance, so this was the choice of my fiancé. So far, he's cool with the service.

Here at home in CA she…read moreused to pay $50/month ($300 for a 6 months premium) so you can imagine my surprise when she told me she got Geico and her 6 months premium was $2,034!!?? You bet a dropped everything and started getting quotes from different insurance companies in NC. I was shocked to see that almost all of them quoted me about the same! E-surance offered a bit less, around $1,600. Originally State Farm didn't even give me a quote online! To be honest, the only reason I even check them was to see how much they will quote me (considering the fact they are one of the most expensive ones out there) but I assumed the reason I didn't even get a quote was because the number was so high it couldn't even fit on the screen. Anyway, the very next day I got an e-mail from Daniel Price (one of the agents working in this office) apologizing that their system didn't give me a quote and offered to help me. By then I was so frustrated with those high numbers that I didn't want to even think about insurance agents. To me they all looked bad! So I basically sent him a border line rude e-mail, explaining the situation and telling him that if he can't beat E-surance's $1,600 he better not waste my time. He not only managed to deal with a nasty upset mother but also managed to offer a better quote! Very patient, very understanding and very knowledgeable! I have no idea who that unhappy person before me talked to, but I can't say a bad word about Daniel! In fact, I have only good things to say! He answered ALL of my questions (and you can bet I had a TON!). He not only answered them, but he did it in a timely manner! He also explained very patiently to me why her rates were so high (darn NC! You people are nuts to live there with politicians like that!). He treated me like a human (something insurance agents don't generally do). Let alone he offered the best quote! And did not ask for half the policy in advance! My daughter is making monthly payments. He's been also very helpful with the questions I had about the insurance laws in NC. My daughter got charged some crappy fee cancelling her Geico insurance. Daniel helped with that too even though it wasn't his business! Yeah, I like him. I feel my daughter is being well taken care of. I'll update this review as time goes by and I have a bit more to say about this office but so far I am beyond satisfied with the service provided! Wish all insurance agents were like him! Thanks, Daniel!
