"Excellent service!! I was referred by my Father-in-Law who has been with them for many years and glad I switched over! I had recently bought a new car out of Newport Beach and needed it insured before they shipped the car out. I gave Ele an almost impossibly time frame to be insured and she got it done without hesitation. I saved a great deal off annually as well. Ele was great and answered all of my questions prior and did not pressure me one bit. I highly recommend this Agent for anyone who is looking for car insurance!"
