"I have been a customer of State Farm's Tim Ochs office for YEARS and am 100% satisfied with them. I just recently traded my vehicle in, and updated my policy to reflect that. They were SO FAST in getting information to the dealer, that even the dealer was impressed - which in turn, made the paperwork that much quicker to process. I spoke to Paige this morning, and she was so kind and knowledgeable answering the questions I had about my newly updated policy."

"Can't recommend. Very bad experience! We've dealt with insurance companies on many occasions through the years and have always felt that local agents worked hard for their clients. However, this agency has made me feel that they don't care about a fair resolution and are utterly powerless to advocate on behalf of their client. Very disappointed to see how bad service has become and how little they seem to care."
We responded:
"I wanted to acknowledge receipt of your feedback and appreciate the opportunity to respond. My role as an Agent is to advocate on Emily’s behalf and to share concerns that arise during the claim process. I have done that, including sharing your detailed concerns about the valuation completed on her vehicle, sharing the information you gathered on vehicles you felt were comparable to Emily’s car, and sharing in your frustration when the claim office did not initially follow up as expected. State Farm feels that a fair settlement offer was made on Emily’s car. As of July 25, you indicated that Emily was going to pursue the appraisal process. In my email on August 11, I shared my thoughts that this likely provided the best option to resolve issues of value. I am not a licensed automobile adjustor and certainly am not an expert on the claim settlement/valuation process. That role is entrusted to our Total Loss team, and disagreements on value are resolved by our claim associates. As an agent, I am prohibited from requesting a claim be negotiated beyond what the company feels is a fair settlement, though I would not make that request if I was able to. After receiving your feedback, I contacted the claim office again to discuss Emily’s claim. I wanted to be sure that our claim team had done its part to communicate the process to pursue Appraisal as we discussed in July. It is my understanding an associate reached out to you on Friday and reviewed the Appraisal process again. I am sorry that you are disappointed in the service I provided, and the claim process in general. I do want you to know that in the end, I hope Emily receives a fair value for her vehicle."

"Mia is awesome! She listened, and gave me a very competitive quote very quickly. She worked with me to refine my policy, explaining everything for me very effectively. I also had a couple questions that I had to call about after. I got back to Mia quickly and she was able to clear everything up very simply. I’m very happy with the service I received and would(and will). recommend this place to anyone. Thanks again Mia!"

"Hello Everyone, So I am new driver and I really don’t now much about insurance. It was my first car and I had open a policy under my name. As I researching quotes, I stumbled upon State Farm. I felt intimidated but Kevin Ochs made me feel less anxious about the process. If you’re a first timer/driver, I definitely recommend this State farm office. They take the time to explain everything and they actually treat you like human being."
We responded:
"Hi, Jasmine! Thank you for the shoutout for Kevin! He is a vital part of the team and we appreciate how much he cares about all our customers. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to help you with your insurance needs. And… thank you for being the BEST part of State Farm!"

"I have been dealing with Tim and the girls at state farm for over 10 years. One of the things that I find pleasantly surprising in this day and age of little to no customer service, is that when I call whatever issue I have is immediately addressed. State farm has a great reputation, and Tim Ochs personal touch is the icing on the cake."

"So the son was able accommodate my rental insurance needs. Even checked some other quotes through them for me. I love that it is a family setting that was VERY welcoming. He explained everything to me in terms I was able to fully understand. I recommend this agent for sure! Even when I decided on just rental insurance through them, they still didn't make me feel forced or pushy. I appreciate this agent and I am a satisfied customer!"

"Hello, To Anyone Who May Be Looking For A Insurance Company. I Highly Recommend State Farm On Curry Road… I’ve Been With Them For A Few Years, And When I Didn’t Understand My Policy And Things That Was Going On With My Old Policy, I Stopped By Without An Appointment… And If My Agent Ms. Mia Or The Other Agents Were Taking Care Of Clients, Mr. Tim (The Owner) Would Come Out And Assist Me, He Did Not Make Me Wait… What I Love About This State Farm, The Agents Make Sure You Feel Very Safe And Secure Having Them On Your Side… They Will Work With You To The Best Of Their Ability And Will Fight With You With All Their Power, Within The Law….lol… I Especially Love Ms. Mia, Time And Time Again I Have Called Her Back To Back And She Always Answered My Calls With Such A Pleasant Voice, Which Made Me Feel Very Safe, She Stated To Me On Many Occasions, When Things Were Complicated, She Said, “I Will Handle Your Situation For You", And She Handled My Situation… Ms. Mia, Personally Taught Me A Lot, I’m Grateful For Her Time.. Most People Do Not Pass On Good Information, I Am Sharing My Personal Experience With This State Farm On Curry Road… People Travel Any Place They Want To Go To Do Whatever They Want To Do… In This Situation, This Place Is Worth The Travel.. Very Professional, Pleasant, Clean And Always Has A Smile… Thank You Mr. Tim Ochs And Ms. Mia… God Bless You All And Stay Safe… We Need You…♥️🙏🏽🙏🏽"

"We have been with Tim for many years and now that our son is on his own, he has his policies withTim also. Tim is a great agent, so very helpful and if we need him, he always gets back to us promptly. His office staff is helpful also. Recently we had to put a claim in with our homeowners, never in 30 years have we had to put a claim in, but Tim took us through the process and State Farm came through for us. Tim suggested Justin Patnode from PuroClean as our restoration person. Justin was professional, caring and very helpful. His workers were kind and did a thorough job for us. I would refer PuroClean for any restoration jobs anyone needs. Thank you Tim and Justin!"
We responded:
"Hi Sue, it was a pleasure working with you. We are happy to hear that our office was able to help you with your claim. Your feedback is valuable to us and we appreciate the opportunity to provide you with high-quality insurance."
