"Being a newer driver, I was able to get some good feedback from Ele Liddicoat on what to expect on auto insurance. I’ll definitely reach out to get more details. I’ll also tell my friends and family about this office in Pinole."
We responded:
"Alex - Thanks for the review! I love hearing the appreciation from younger drivers. The fact is, over your lifetime, you will spend a lot of money on insurance and you should know what it will do and won't do for you. We will always be here for you and your friends and family. To explain coverages and why it's important to protect those things that are important to you! Thanks again!"

"I had the pleasure of talking with Ele about insurance and reviewing what I already have. She was thoughtful, kind and very helpful. If she didn’t know the answer to my question she would let me know and then went and found it. Met both Ele and Lino at the office. Very friendly inviting atmosphere. I highly recommend this insurance office."
We responded:
"Laura- Thank you for taking the time to give my office and team such a glowing review! We certainly appreciate your loyalty, but especially your friendship. We are honored to help you protect what is important to you through our various insurance and financial services products available through State Farm.

"Lino is the go to agent for all my insurance needs. He is extremely knowledgeable of all the various insurance products he offers. I highly recommend you give him a call with any questions regarding coverage in your area. His office staff (specifically Selene) is very responsive with any and all requests either via phone or email. Don't hesitate and give his office a chance to give you a quote."

"I’ve been exploring options for car insurance and got in contact with Ele Liddicoat at State Farm. She was extremely helpful in providing information on different options for my various vehicles and a potential boat. She answered all of my questions and was so patient and friendly with me. While we were talking about my needs she mentioned that they also have life insurance and umbrella policies including an option called Medicare Supplement insurance for my parents, which I didn’t know they offered. As she was new, she connected me with Lino and Selene and they were so knowledgeable. I highly recommend talking to Ele and the team about whatever your insurance needs are. You’ll learn a lot and have a few laughs in the process."
We responded:
"Griselda, thanks for the wonderful words and appreciation for the type of customer service you've received from my staff. It is much appreciated! Insurance isn't always the most exciting thing but we try to break it down in simplest terms and have a good time doing it. Cheers and thanks again!"

"I woke up this morning to find out someone used my debit card. I had to call my monthly payments card holders to change my card including State Farm. I was immediately taken care of by Selene, she also told me that my family member was also affected. Selene explained I had insurance to cover the damages. I appreciate the fast response and knowing that she always has my back. I hope Selene never retires.....she always gives me good advice and helps me with all my insurance needs. Lino is the Boss and he is the Bestest too."
We responded:
"Irene- I am so sorry that you had this happen to you! Unfortunately, in the insurance business we are often interacting with our customers on some of their worst days and quite simply, I feel it is our job to make the best out of a bad situation. I am very happy to hear that Selene was able to make your particular situation better and put you at ease! Thank you so much for 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!"

"Lino and his office staff have been wonderful. Any of our insurance needs have been dealt with seamlessly. Claims processing is easy and even recently it was simple to insure our son’s French Horn. Great agent and office."
We responded:
"Lanette- Thanks for the glowing review! We know that most only realize whether or not they have "good" insurance only when they have a claim. Hopefully, my team was able to help ease you through the claim process as best as possible. Thanks again for entrusting myself and State Farm to help protect what is most important to you and your family. Tell a friend!"

"Selene has been an invaluable resource to my wife and throughout our tenure with State Farm and Lino Amaral’s office. Selene really assisted my wife and I through our car accident and claims process. We were having some issues involving our insurance claim and we were having a difficult time getting someone at State Farm claims to resolve it. We were getting discouraged with no solution or action in about two weeks. We decided to contact Lino’s team at State Farm. Selene not only listened to our frustration, she took it upon herself to solve the problem by reaching out to State Farm corporate and partnering with person responsible for processing our estimate. She promised that she would update me by the end of day with an update. Would you know that at exactly 5pm, State Farm Claims contacted me to let me know that the problem that had been delaying our claims process had been solved and that they are moving forward with the claims process again. I was surprised and impressed. Not only did Selene solve a problem we had been struggling with the claims department for two weeks on, but she contacted me at the EOD like she promised. Thank you Selene for solving a problem that we were incapable of resolving. You are a an invaluable resource and we are grateful to be working with you and Lino Amaral’s office. Sincerely Craig Q"
We responded:
"Craig- I cannot tell you how much I appreciate. You're taking the time to share your experience with my office manager Selene and how she was able make an unfortunate situation a bit more bearable. On behalf of Selene and the rest of my team, I want to thank you for taking the time to share a few words about your experiences with my office. We are thankful for your insurance business and your friendship. Wishing you the best, and thanks again!"

"The people in this office are always so kind and helpful. It really is appreciated, especially since most of the time you are contacting an insurance office, it’s for a stressful reason. They know their stuff and don’t give you the run around. We have multiple polices with them and have been nothing but happy."
We responded:
"Nicole, on behalf of myself and my entire team, thank you for the kind words about the remarkable customer service you have experienced from my Agency! We value your business and loyalty as a fellow Good Neighbor- please do not hesitate to reach out or leave me a message at lino@asklino.com. Thanks again!"
