"My experience with this Insurance Office was awesome. It's awesome everytime I call them. I have been with Buddy, Pam, and Carol for as long as I can remember. Pam and Carol both really care about their customers. Its genuine. They are not satisfied unless you are. They work with you to make sure all insurance needs are satisfactory to everyone involved. They both are professional and so very nice to me. They work hard to get you the right price to where you feel comfortable and satisfied. Plus they are warm and calming when you have to call them for any reason. They are very devoted to satisfying every single person. This all goes for Buddy as well. There have been times when I would call upset about one thing or another but the minute I call them to talk about I'm instantly ok and relaxed by their warm personalities. They are great. Like I said I have been with this insurance for many many years and I'm happy with it because of their hard work and decation. It's a win win situation if you have insurance eith this State Farm Office. 5 stars Excellant customer service."

"Very disappointed customer here…… Since November 2025 I have had to call in to Budd Drake office regarding my premium amount being wrong. All because Carole didn’t save my drivers defense course under the correct file….. Because of this I have to take time out my busy day to call to have them fix the issue every month. Fast forward today 02/10/2029 my premium has went up additional 29.00 for an address change I did not request and Carole didn’t inform me either when discussing the original issue with my insurance quote. Yet here I am dealing with two issue that has yet been rectified….. For future customers please verify that Carole does here job correctly!"
"Hi Kierra, Thank you for your review. Please know that customer happiness is our top priority and we are upset this has not been your experience. Your review is concerning to us, and I'll personally be looking into it. We'll be reaching out to you to resolve this issue, and again thanks for the feedback. Sincerely, BD Hey Kierra, It was good talking to you a couple of weeks ago to provide clarity into what transpired. It was important for you to know that Carole actually was responsible for escalating the issue which allowed you to receive credits from corporate that compensated you for the inconvenience and costs incurred due to an internal systems error. This malfunction prevented the documentation from being applied to your policy as you had discussed with Carole. After several attempts, Carole took the necessary steps to ensure that this issue was addressed for you and corporately so that no one else would be affected. So indeed, Carole is "still" that same person who earned a Five Star rating from you a few months ago! Again, I thank you for sharing your frustration and allowing the agency to address it. BD "
