"Missy had initially reached out to me to offer me an auto and home quote. We changed our minds and decided not to go with State Farm due to past issues with the company. She called again on 7/8 and I told her we were not interested. Now I get a text today 7/13 asking for a review. Please update your system to not harass people who have decided not to go with your company. Thanks!"
We responded:
"Alyssa, certainly our intent is not to harass you. We have an active policy for you so we will take whatever action you choose regarding this active policy. Our goal is to take care of the customers' needs up until they change their minds regarding coverage. Hope this clarifies your question. Thank you for reaching out."

"From the initial call my experience has been great. Missy provided exemplary customer service, complimenting the excellent rates I received on my auto insurance. Additionally, when modifications needed to be made after the fact, these were handled wihtout a ripple - which is signifcantly different from prior experience with other insurers.
I highly recommend Elwood, Missy and the crew to anyone seeking affordable auto insurance and a surperb customer service experience."

"We had State Farm for years. We have a great driving record but our auto tripled in price without any explanation other than “Everybody’s went up”. In my opinion that answer is not a sufficient answer. If you have State Farm watch your statements carefully"
We responded:
"Hello Kathy, We want to thank you for taking the time to give feedback about your recent experience. We completely understand your frustration and apologize for not promptly resolving your concerns. We appreciate your feedback and support and hope you'll consider coming back in the future. Sincerely, Elwood Ervin"
