"I called curious about getting a quote and Maricela was incredibly helpful, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. She took the time to clearly explain my options, answered all of my questions, and made sure I understood everything before moving forward. Her professionalism, patience, and attention to detail really stood out. I truly appreciate her support and would highly recommend working with Maricela to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable insurance agent."

"Everyone hates to have to get insurance but it’s so needed especially for the unexpected that’s why I choose State Farm with James Fread! Maricela is the best she always makes sure that my policies are clear and created around my lifestyle and what is best. I feel secure and confident knowing that I don’t have to worry about the unexpected cause an accident is just that!! I know I will be taken care of with no worries or stress in those times that may be scary or overwhelming. I ca count on Maricela with State Farm! Thank you!"
We responded:
"I agree insurance can be annoying until there’s a claim and when that happens (hopefully never), we’ll be here for you! Maricela is great and we’re happy to have her on the team. Let us know if we can help you with any additional needs in the future."

"Dealing with Marisela has been a nightmare. Initially, she refused to apply my vehicle discount, causing me to overpay for my six-month premium. Despite promising to follow up, she never called, forcing me to reach out myself. Even after I thought the issue was resolved, she failed to submit the refund request. When I followed up three weeks later (2/5/2025 and today is 2/25/25), she actually called me a liar—claiming the conversation never happened—until she checked her notes / email and realized I was right. This is Wawanesa customer service with State Farm prices."

"State Farm and my agent Steven Mulligan have been exceptional! When my roof needed replacing, they were very professional and prompt with the claim and payout. I appreciate the yearly review of the home and auto policy as well as the savings with the discounts. I also appreciate their suggestions and advice when it comes to our policies. So grateful. Thank you!"
We responded:
"Thank you for your review Ana Maria can we do our best to make sure our customers are informed about their coverages and policies"

"We recently had a problem with payment of our California Fair Plan policy which we got through James Fread’s State Farm office. Susan Helems worked with us to figure out what had happened and what we needed to do. She patiently answered all my questions and her guidance was invaluable. We have used James Fread for all of our insurance needs for many many years and because of the great customer service will continue to do so in the future. Gerald and Joyce Cook"

"When I found out that GEICO was no longer gonna ensure Lyft drivers in California, I was totally disappointed. But to my pleasant surprise, I talked to Sue Helems from State Farm. Although my insurance price went up because of the new situation, Sue made the transition very smooth. Not only was she professional, she was very personable, and answered all my questions. She followed up with phone calls and emails to make sure I had everything I needed. I can certainly tell you I didn’t want to pay more for my ride share insurance, but I’m glad I was referred to State Farm for all my needs! You can’t go wrong with Sue!"
We responded:
"Yes a lot of companies including Geico do not wnt to insure uber, Lyft or DoorDash drivers but we do and are here to help! Thanks for giving us an opportunity to help and wish you well on your new business "

"I was in need of a commercial auto insurance policy. I made several calls but was noy able to find the type of policy I was looking for. State Farm had exactly what I needed. I called State Farm agent Janelle Feeler who works with James Fread in Lakeside, Ca. and she was able to help me. She was very friendly, knowledgeable, patient and eager to find the best plan for my needs. If you want beyond great service, call Janelle Feeler, you won't be sorry."
We responded:
"Thank You Donald! We specialize in commercial auto insurance and appreciate your review. Look forward to serving you many years ahead."

"I have had a commercial policy with State farm for five years now. My agent Janelle Feeler has been with me from the start. She is easy to communicate with, supportive and easy to contact. Outside of the competitive prices she is one of the reasons I stay. Its important to have an agent that cares. I would highly recommend"
We responded:
"Thank you Baseemah we really appreciate the detailed review and agree Janelle is great. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to serve your insurance needs and we look forward to serving you many years into the future."

"Sue is absolutely AMAZING! She wouldnt give up until my problem was fully resolved and so personable! It was a hoot talking with her! Ive never had that experience with an agent."
We responded:
"Hey Laura - Sue is great and fun to work with. A big part of agency is dealing with the insurance company so you don’t have to. Sue was in customer service, then underwriting and back to customer service and sales and knows both sides of the business. We appreciate the review and your business thanks for hanging in there with us! "
