Three days later after googling United Equitable, I discovered it has an "F' rating with the BBB so I cancelled it. I was told I would get a refund from U.E. After 35 days, still no refund. I contacted U.E. they told me Carranza Ins. never sent them my payment so technically, I never had insurance. After 2 phone calls, 1 email providing proof of payment and cancellation, and 1 office visit from a very angry lady, Pedro rudely refunded my $389 which he still insisted I wasn't owed. In addition, he wanted to charge me $48 processing fee for the work I did in emailing him my proof of payment and cancellation. If you value your money and your life, do not do business with this company. Pedro strongly acknowledged that he knows Carranza Ins, works with 'F' rated insurance agencies.

Mike has been the state farm agent for my family for the past decade or so. He's been extremely…read morehelpful when I needed it most. In the summer of 2013, my car was hit by another driver with terrible insurance. The accident was clearly the other driver's fault, and she admitted it, yet her insurance company would only pay for half the damages ($700 of the $1500 in damages). I had no idea what to do until I consulted Mike. Mike suggested that I file the claim with state farm and they would cover all the damages after I paid my $250 deductible. Then they would go after the other driver's insurance co. to pay for the damages. Whatever money they got from them would first go to me, and my deductible would be reimbursed. I went with Mike because I both trust him and I was guaranteed 1250, which is way better than 700. It's great to know that my insurance company has got my back. And Mike certainly helped relieve me from an extremely stressful situation. I can't thank him enough. Bottom line: You won't be disappointed with Mike's state farm insurance. He's a really friendly and helpful guy, and he goes to bat for you when you really need it.

When we have nice days in the winter here in IL, I like to "flip on and off" insurance for weekends. Not only is this never a problem, Mike usually gets back to me within 5 minutes via email on such requests. The customer service is perfect. I've had one claim as well which was handled without issue. I highly recommend both State Farm and this specific office to do your business. Mike is as straight of a shooter as they come and I have no plans on taking my business anywhere else. 5 stars.
