Independent insurance agents are the best. I have had nothing but very positive experiences with…read moreKleinschmidt Insurance. I'll try to convey, in the following interactions with Kleinschmidt, is that I have consistently seen the agency give thoughtful consideration to my interests. I would definitely stay with them if I didn't have to move out of state for a job. Kris, our agent got us a great deal on our auto insurance. We know because we had done our homework with several other agencies during the process. The price was pretty good and Auto-Owners insurance often pays claims more readily than others. Kris was also very knowledgable and helpful in explaining Michigan's insurance. When asked about life insurance, Kris then referred us to another independent insurance agent with whom his agency only had a loose connection. essentially saying, "when I get life insurance, this is who I go to." This new agent met with us individually and treated us like we were his only clients. We had to do some digging to find out that Ron is actually pretty high up in the insurance world, selling policies to people and organizations who are worth way more and purchase way more than what we could possibly afford. Yet, this agent treated us as if we were just as important as his multi-million dollar customers. In short, Kris did us a huge favor by recommending a course of action that wasn't necessarily in his best interests, but was great for ours. Lastly, as we prepared to move out of Michigan, I asked Kris for advice and recommendations on auto insurance. He referred me to a couple of websites and essentially said, "I would love to persuade you to stay with your Michigan insurance, but, really, you are better off with another independent insurance agent in the state to which you are moving."

I walked in, waited 3 minutes and was called to a desk. Gave them my paper work and said, I'm here for the IDP. I also informed the agent that I needed to get a photo taken. The whole process took about 20 minutes, I thought they were going to mail the IDP to me, but I walked out with it. It's nothing fancy, just a booklet (yeah paper) with some information, stamps and your photo glued to it. While the agent was very nice in helping, didn't like how they tried to upsell me in getting a membership there. I mean, I get it, it's part of their job and they have to do it, but I just came for IDP, don't need the pre-sale information. In all, $20 for IDP, $12 for the photo - with taxes, etc. $32.72. Plenty of parking, inside looked nice.

I'm not someone who typically writes negative reviews, but my recent experience has been so…read morefrustrating that I feel obligated to share it for others considering insurance options. I've had both auto and condo insurance with State Farm for about a year. While my auto policy remained stable, my condo insurance suddenly increased from $650 to $950 -- roughly a 33% jump. I reached out to my agent, John Avery, well over a month in advance to understand the increase. Despite multiple emails and follow-ups over several weeks, I received no response. Even after contacting State Farm directly twice and being told they would follow up, nothing happened. Eventually, just one day before the policy renewal, I received a call from the agent's office attributing the increase to "inflation," with no real explanation or willingness to review alternatives. The response felt dismissive, as if they were perfectly fine losing a customer. Unfortunately, things only got worse when I had to file claims. After a snowstorm caused suspension damage, followed by a pothole incident that resulted in a flat tire, I filed two claims. What followed was an incredibly disorganized and time-consuming process: I was sent to multiple repair shops that either couldn't help or redirected me elsewhere I was told different and often conflicting instructions by different representatives each time I called Scheduling an appraiser was extremely difficult -- appointments kept changing depending on who I spoke to I spent hours coordinating between auto shops and State Farm, including sitting at a shop for over 4 hours, only to find out the shop had never received the required communication from State Farm After all this, I was told the appraiser had "missed" the inspection and that I would need to restart the entire process, leave my car again, and reschedule everything This level of inefficiency is incredibly frustrating. Filing a claim is already stressful -- this experience made it unnecessarily worse. Communication was poor, coordination was lacking, and the burden of managing the process was entirely pushed onto me as the customer. To add to the inconvenience, even something as simple as rescheduling an inspection cannot be done online -- you have to call every single time. I understand insurance claims can be complex, but this experience felt disorganized, unresponsive, and dismissive of the customer's time. Honestly, I expected much better from a company like State Farm.

Pete has proven to be an exceptional partner in providing proactive support and advice in an easily…read moredigestible manner throughout the years. He is quick to respond to our questions and always is on top of everything within the insurance realm. If he doesn't know he always finds out the information requested and has gone above and beyond for us in many ways throughout the past 6+ years working with him. He has also been a great source when we have been in need of connections for services such as windshield replacements or things related to insurance claims and has proven to be well connected to top notch groups that have provided the same level of service as Pete! We highly recommend Pete Staton & Concept Insurance and feel confident you'll be thankful you contacted him when evaluating home and or auto insurance!

Big problem for an insurance agent. Accuracy is imperative. Mishandled our policy with multiple errors, then tried to blame it on someone else. Obnoxious and rude to me on the phone on one of the very few occasions (and last) time I called the office- instead tried to upsell me on more insurance. Inherited us as clients from Dan Jilek- who sadly passed too soon. Fahoome apparently feels he doesn't have to build or maintain relationships with customers of 25+ years that were HANDED to him- ZERO EFFORT- and we are THRILLED to be rid of him and his constantly changing office staff. Can't keep customers or employees. Do yourself a favor, get out before you have a claim- from those who reached out to me with a claim, it's an even bigger nightmare to deal with him. You're on your own. ‍

State Farm in general tends to have good customer service and good responsiveness. As far as…read moreclaims, when someone hit my car (while I was parked, mind you), the agents here did listen to the story. They tended to refer me to the corporate office which I wasn't too pleased with. Though I understand that the nat'l hotline handles claims, I would prefer they look into my case on my behalf. Because really, that's the only time you need your agent, right? ..is when someone doesn't look where they are going and bumps into the driver side of your car WHILE you are parked. The only time the agents here were very friendly was when they were signing me up for their insurance (of course). In general, as a local chapter, I wish they were a little bit more "on top of things" and responsive to their clients. It just seemed like when an accident actually happens, they don't have a lot of answers or responses to questions. I think this office is fully capable of improving on this.
