I'll tell you what, I couldn't be more impressed and more grateful after getting off a phone call…read more A phone call that I was EXTREMELY LUCKY this gentleman in particular even picked up. As the Saturday wore on and all three of the companies I called to get Homeowners Insurance with a Renter Property Insur Policy Packet quotes from ALL went to VM. I did my due diligence and made a short list of 4 companies to call, checking each name prior to calling 1) Proximity to the property/us 2) Better Bus Bureau rating 3) Yelp rating. The 4th and last phone call actually was one that made the list on all three counts! AND the owner of the company answered the phone himself at 3:30 pm on a Saturday. Rob Salvo of Mt. Diablo Insur answers! Instead of blowing smoke up my wazoo and gladly telling me he would love to take my business, he gave me the honest down and dirty. Telling me what was going on in the industry currently, THAT I SHOULD STAY PUT and here's why. Information that was 5,000 percent invaluable. In less than 15 minutes he, convinced me NOT to move my policy to another company and why, wait 6 months to revisit when the industry has likely ironed out these problems, be thankful my current provider has renewed us, and how to solve the LLC issue that was forcing me to change in the first place, not only THAT, but to call him back if I had trouble getting my current provider to add the LLC endorsement and he'd help me with that too!! Color me flabbergasted! All out of the graciousness and kindness of his heart. There was nothing in this phone call for him. And I will remember this for the rest of my life and tell 100 people to call Mt. Diablo Insurance because you will get honesty, fairness, loyalty and exceptional business. Thank you Rob Salvo. You made a believer out of me. You had better believe Mt. Diablo will be my first phone call in 6 months down the road.

My mom owns an auto policy and homeowner's policy with them for many years with zero issues from our end. I remember a few years back, we were really unlucky and on two separate occasions, automobiles were parking and ran into our house, TWICE! Talk about unlucky! However, one quick phone call and a few operational transactions and our homeowner's policy covered all the repair damages. Highly recommend with my utmost respectful regards!

Used to be amazing but ever since my first experience back in 2020 I've had to actively reach out…read moreto them to remind them that my renewals were coming up and asking them to shop rates. For my 2023 policies, my homeowners insurance carrier stopped offering policies in CA, and I was forced to switch over to another provider. I made the switch through Stone Creek but they never notified my mortgage lender of my new policy / carrier, so the lender thought I didn't have a policy and charged me for one of theirs. It took 6 months before I noticed and had to work with them to get a refund. My renewals for 2024 are actually coming up in less than 2 weeks and I have yet to receive any updates despite multiple attempted reach outs to my account manager (Robin). Ironically, I've been trying to get in contact with her for over a week (called and left a voicemail, left messages with two different receptionists) and it was only after I posted this review that I received an email from her. I shopped quotes with the same carriers directly, and am getting lower quoted rates, so at this point between the total radio silence and the higher cost of doing business with Stone Creek, I'm uncertain what SCIA's value add is. Ultimately, I ended up switching over to Jeff Wong out of Bencia and ended up saving $600 / year on my homeowners insurance alone with same carrier (Mercury). I swapped my Umbrella policy over as well, but kept my auto insurance as is as the carrier (Oregon Mutual) was still the best option.

I've been with Stone Creek for years and have have many policies through them, including home,…read moreauto, umbrella and business. They used to be great and quickly responded to all my emails. But lately customer service is horrible. Sure, they respond quickly when you say you want to open a new policy for something. But have a question? Need other assistance? Just crickets. I think they had major turnover since the height of the pandemic and nobody seems to be local anymore. When I do talk with anyone, it's always a different person from out of state. Worse of all, when I sold a rental property and requested to cancel the policy, they cancelled the WRONG policy and I went almost 6 months with my home not being insured! I didn't realize it until much later of course because every single time I asked them to confirm my policies, they never responded. It's time to find a new broker. So sad because they used to be fantastic.

I've had State farm and the same agent since 1983. My parents, grandparents and aunts and uncles…read morealso used this agent. Since my agent retired and Agent Timi Adeyemo took over Spence Sealander's office in Moraga I've had nothing but issues with this office with not understanding what I am saying or requesting and there is zero communication because the gals do not listen. I document everything because verbally they will say one thing and it be different the next time. The office girls Sienna and Rebekah are very rude and need to learn how to listen and not talk over the customer/client. They definitely need customer service and phone etiquette classes. A week ago, my insurance jumped from $800.xx a month for three cars to over $1000. When I sent an email (document everything) Timi/agent told me there was an issue and I could not pay online, and I would need to call the office to make a correct payment. When I did that yesterday, Sienna immediately told me that amount was $100 over what I should pay. When I tried to explain to her that Timi had just sent me an email with the correct amount she could not answer, why it was a different amount. She became very aggressive and would not listen to me. When she conferenced in Timi, she continued to interrupt me talk over me and not listen. At that time, I was so frustrated because I thought everything was straightened out after a few emails. Timi tried to intervene and basically told me that I was "beating a dead house". What? Sienna continued to scream at me and would not listen. After Timi instructed her to take my payment of the corrected amount she had the audacity to say to me "DO YOU WANT ME TO TAKE YOUR PAMENT OR NOT, BECAUSE I NEED TO GO AND HAVE OTHER CALLS TO MAKE". I was so blown away by how I was treated and the lack of unprofessionalism that I missed placed my credit card and had to end the call. I'm one to always compliment and go out of my way to review a person or company if I receive excellent service. People will tend to complain before they complement, but in this case a review was needed, and I would actually give this office a ZERO rating if that was an option. If those were my employees, they would have been fired or placed on PIP immediately. I'm a manager in HR and just taken so far back how I was treated by this office.
