The girls in this office are so personable. They take the time to explain the coverages and even have time to listen to me. They are more concerned about whats best for me and not what’s best for them. Total angels!

I have been with Janets office now for six years. Janet and her staff
are friendly and knowledgable about all the products that Sate Farm has
to offer, from Auto Insurance to Retirement Planning. I’ve learned
to make Janet and her office my one stop shop for all insurance needs.
If State Farm doesn’t offer it, it probably doesn’t exist. I love my
annual visits with Janet and her staff. She makes sure that we are
protected form the unexpected and that we are preparing for our future.
The personalized service we recive from Janet and her office is
wonderful, I wouldn’t want to change insurance companies for any reason!
Janet was recommended to me by a long-time friend and I’ve never
been happier. She and her staff have always treated me like family and
they’ve done a great job of making everything simple enough for me to
understand. I’ve had everything from my car and my recreational vehicles to
my life insured through Janet. And as a single mom, price is important to
me. She got me the right coverage for a great price. Whenever I’ve had a
question about my policy, she and her team have the answer right away. Janet
helped me find a great college savings option and life insurance too. It’s
really comforting to know if something ever does happen, I’ll have a great
agent helping me through it. I’ve been with Janet for five years now and I
wouldn’t dream of changing.

I’ve always found insurance purchasing to be a difficult task. All the coverages, what to have, what not to have, and most importantly how much money is to much money. With these questions as well as the normal day to day activities, insurance shopping became a very stressful experiance.
It was then when a friend of mine recommended Perezchica & Associates Insurance Services. In one trip I had all the coverages explaned to me, what I needed for coverage limitations but most important to me was that I had a person that cares about me as a customer. Marcelino listened to all my questions, made sure I saved his number in my cell phone and assured me that if I had any issues I could contact him. The price is right, the service was excellent, and I am more than comfortable doing further business with this insurance broker.
Swapping your high heels for a pair of driving shoes can help you qualify for affordable car insurance by avoiding accidents and getting "safer driver" discounts.
It's easier to get discounted car insurance with a car that has a high safety rating than one without one.
When you are looking for car insurance, ask if the insurance company offers a policy where they forgive the first accident.
