I reached out via email to three different insurance agencies to inquire about their Surety Bond offerings. The other agencies responded by sending me forms with perplexing terminology. In stark contrast, Ross Olive's office promptly arranged a phone conference with me. An agent named Loren Ridge called me at the scheduled time. He explained the process to me while completing the forms on my behalf while I relaxed. A confusing task made easy with friendly and kind people.

In brief: One star is a generous score for this office, and Ross personally and professionally, who…read moreshould be removed as an agent. In detail: 23+ year plus state farm client, and a client of Ross for easily 10 years or more. I pay my bill, never file claims and is essentially the perfect insurance client. The only claim I have had in decades was with a recent deer strike in my car this year. At every stage of the claim, Ross and his office was polite incompetence: Towing, I had it handled within hours of the event and yet was told if I didn't use their recommended company it would be "much harder". The emphasis was that if I didn't use their recommended service, even though I could (bad tone) use someone else, it would be better for me. They were wrong, and clearly trying to guide me poorly almost with a sense of cronyism to a certain company. Rental car: I was able to setup a car quickly but found out my rental allowance hadn't been adjusted in over 10 years, even though this office claims to review the policies. Their response? Ooops.. and adjusted the value upwards but did me no good whatsoever as the claim happened before the adjustment. Even though it was their mistake, me having a rental for a couple of days when the car would be down for several months, was MY problem to solve. Repair: Again, heavy blatant overtones that if I don't use their recommended shop there will be problems. The selected shop is the only manufacturer certified shop in the entire region, and the only choice. Every step along the way, of the claim, the information, the repair quotes was a fight but a fight on my part to handle. If I hadn't escalated to SF leadership, it would have taken longer, been done with subpar used parts, and completed at a subpar shop. Ross and his office was not only no help, but took the tack with me that I should just accept whatever I get and that my policy authorized used parts in repair. Keep in mind, a senior state farm leader was unable to find the quoted price OR availability of the used part that was quoted, and approved the repair with all new parts after that was pointed out. I went through the quoted appraisal line by line with a senior SF leader and we found multiple mistakes and misquotes. Keep in mind that happened because I did the work, the research and phone calls. I spent easily 40+ hours over a month ensuring that my repair was done correctly, not Ross or his office in any way. I cannot stress more clearly, if I hadn't put in the work to ensure my car was repaired properly, it wouldn't have happened and Ross and his office not only didn't make that easier, but they also actively made it harder every step along the way. Change of coverage: After that claim was closed successfully entirely due to my hard work and time, I sold the car. I had a detailed conversation with Ross directly about coverage of a new car, to ensure that in the event of a similar experience, no issues would arise. The conversation devolved very quickly as according to him, the previous experience was completely fine, acceptable, and only went well due to "his hard work and that of his office". He also then made it clear that a customer with my expectations was not a good fit for State farm, and implied his office, and should look elsewhere. If your expectations are that your insurance works with you, and your alleged agent is working with you, then Ross is absolutely right, I should look elsewhere and already have. I was able to EASILY setup the right kind of insurance coverage for my car, which he told me is not possible. It was quick, easy, and absolutely possible. I have filed a formal complaint with State Farm and the WA insurance commissioner, as he and his office deserve to be thoroughly investigated. State farm has lost a quarter century customer due to Ross Olive personally, and I cannot recommend his office in any way shape or form.

Beckler insurance wow! I had no idea these guys were still around but when I found out they were…read morestill here I was truly excited. It's a local ran place with at least 20 years or more of great community service. They've probably been around longer but when I first went to them it was about twenty years ago. Back then I was just a pup who had a need for speed and racked up a LOT of tickets in a very little amount of time. Amazed that I still even had a license getting insurance wasn't exactly the same. Most places wouldn't even take me and the current one I'd been using was charging me 475$ a month just for liability . And oh yea that was also for a (I'm not going to call it a POS but we'll you get the idea) cheap car hhaha. Anyways when I came to Beckler it was because I'd heard good things from the community about them. Long story short they were beyond the nicest people I'd ever dealt with and I left with a HUUUUGE grin on my face. They were able to find me the very best rate at an extremely low cost (considering my 17 tickets that is ). Now, fast forward all those years and low and behold, here they are.I was amazed that not only do they still get you the best rate in the NATION but also still have the same great customer service that I remembered them for. Katie was not only very professional but an absolute doll with handling everything. Very attentive and answered all my questions with a smile, it's nice to go somewhere and be helped by people who actually love what they do. To me that makes a big difference. This is maybe only my second or third one of these I've ever done because usually it is to tell people to stay the hell away hahahah. However I am a firm believer in that you don't get a tip just because you're a waiter, you get a tip because you go above and beyond my expectations. And that is EXACTLY what Katie and everyone at Beckler insurance has done for me! THANKS YOU GUYS
