"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!"

"Adham- Thanks for the great review! As an agency owner, we take great pride in our customer service and thrilled that you experienced that. Welcome to the Amaral Agency Family! Please share your experience with your friends and family! www.AskLino.com "

"Lino and Ele are always very nice to deal with, and they are very helpful and understanding whenever I have had questions, or have wanted to change things about my policy. When I talk to them it feels more like speaking with friends/people who actually care about you as an individual - rather than robotic and cold agents who only care about my money . Would highly recommend."

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!!"
