"Called in to have this office review my current policy. Ele was informative without being pushy. She answered all of my questions, and it appears I’d be able to secure a better rate with them. Seriously considering moving my policy based their prices and customer service."

"State Farm in Pinole is the best! Lino has provided excellent services to me and my family. Having Serene available with any questions we may have has helped ease my life. I highly recommend them for all your insurance needs. Did you know they have PET Insurance too?! They care about your needs and it shows with every contact. They are community based and I'm so happy to be with them. Call them with any Life Insurance questions too. They are ROCK STARS!!"
We responded:
"Ele- Thanks SOOOO much for the glowing review! We are honored to be able to have you and your family as long-time loyal customers! Selene, myself and the rest of my team look forward to being able to serve all of your family's insurance needs for a very long time! Once again, thanks for the shout out and the 5 star review- it is much appreciated!!!"

"I have had to call in a few times and every time I do, I receive help promptly. During the three office visits I have had, everyone is welcoming and they took the time to fully review my policies. No one rushed me. I was given information on what my current coverage is and if there were any suggestions to change it. They are all welcoming and knowledgeable."
We responded:
"Heather- Awwww Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to give us a review and for your kind words! It is because of customers like you that we do the things we do!!! Please tell a friend! www.AskLino.com "

"I received a notice from State Farm. I am a client with Lino State Farm Insurance in Pinole. I immediately panicked because of watching the news it’s always saying state farm something and it’s usually alarming. People are getting canceled so I panicked and thought oh my God it’s happening to me too. I called the office and talked to a little girl named Elle and Selene they called back right away. They are always right on it and so helpful and so knowledgeable. I so appreciate them and I am blessed they have my back. It turned out to be a renewal notice. I got my self all work up for nothing. The point being this office is a blessing and you will love all these gals and their boss of helping you with your needs of insurance issues."
We responded:
"Irene- Is it because customers like you that myself, Selene and Ele all love what we do and take pride making sense of insurance to all! Thank you again so much for being a wonderful customer and appreciating my team's efforts to provide exceptional customer service and even more, taking the time to leave us a review about it! Thanks again and please tell a friend or a neighbor!"

We responded:
"Nancy- Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review about the great customer service that Selene had provided over the years! We certainly appreciate your loyalty and dedication in continuing to have your insurance with State Farm and my office specifically for all of these years. Much appreciated!"
