"They were awesome. I don’t think I even had insurance for a month and my car broke down and I didn’t even realize that I Had roadside assistance. The process was super easy. They paid for a tow from my home to a shop within 20 miles for free with no extra cost and also came with a $30 Lyft credit for 24 hours. This was extremely helpful and I wouldn’t have been able to get my car towed at that time if it weren’t for State Farm and my policy. Even with just a liability policy. I would highly recommend anyone looking for insurance check out State Farm because I will not be changing my insurance ever to a different company. I know a friend that pays more for insurance than I do and does not receive free roadside assistance. She was stranded in the snow and had to pay $200 to get towed out. Super grateful to my agent and the company."
"Kara, I am grateful for you sharing your experience regarding ERS coverage. It's reviews like these that help those searching for a new insurance carrier online find a local State Farm agent who can create a Personal Price Plan tailored to their unique needs. I couldn't have said it better myself! Thank you, Derek"

"Amazing service. I don’t have the best driving record, so I was terrified of insurance prices. I was denied by other insurance companies, & the ones that did accept me were THROUGH THE ROOF with their prices. State Farm gave me an amazing deal, & I'm even saving 44$ / month with their Drive Safe program. Beyond satisfied!!"

"Someone tried to steal my cars, I started the online process since it was before office hours. Emailed after office hours, because the process seemed too easy… turns out I didn’t do anything wrong, it’s just east 🤷♀️. Beth made sure everything was done though and that I had everything I needed. All the stars to everyone here.
Few months later… new claim for dents for hail! Quick and painless, adulting is hard, State Farm claims are easy. Even the car rental was easy."
"Thank you for the 5-star review, Reba! Here on State Farm Agent Derek Winkel’s Team, we are proud to serve our community and appreciate your recognition. "

"My husband met with Derek because of Roth IRA accounts. He was very impressed how friendly and forthcoming they were. He was struck by how much Derek knew about Roth IRA accounts and how well he described and explained everything. My husband came home and said" I want to switch to Derek and his office and all our State Farm business." The staff and the atmosphere make you feel welcome and that your business is important.
At the time we also were in need of a new roof per requirement for house insurance. Derek, Beth, and Angel were very helpful and made a very stressful situation more tolerable, advised us what would be the best option and made it convient. Angel is always very kind and friendly on the phone. We delt mostly with Beth she was very good about keeping us informed and walking us through each step moving forward. She was extremely patient, kind, understanding and professional through the process. When we ran into problems with a contractor; Beth made sure the paperwork we need was taking care off. Derek folllowed-up to let us know things are going according to plan and explain the underwriting process. We feel that we made the right decision to switch to Derek's office. We also got a better offer on monthly insurance than we had before. I have not had much or any interactions with Bill and Jerilynne. However I don't doubt that they are equally as good at their jobs. Thank you so much for All your hard work and going beyond and above! We are satisfied customers and recommend Dereke and his team!"
"Dagmar, thank you so much for the glowing review! It is sincerely appreciated. Here at Derek Winkel - State Farm we strive to provide a unique customer experience.
