Thomas Insurance Agency - El Centro (CA)

Jesse V The Speaker My experience at Bucio insurance has been great for all the 10 years Ive purchasing insurance. Ive had multiple cars insured and obtained property insurance. This office has always been helpful and help me make the best decision for me.

Spencer Palomar Eric Castanares is the best insurance broker I ever worked with. He’s so good I’d consider him my friend. He’s helped me save thousands of dollars on my car insurance the last 7 years. He also does financial services that can help benefit your investments & family care. If you ever need anything he is always there to assist.

Jan Davis Very friendly and helpful.

Christian Cary I am an apartment building owner. It is now almost impossible to get liability insurance for apartment buildings in California in todays environment. All the carriers are leaving the state. After my insurance agent of many years procrastinated and then failed to find me an affordable policy, I was within days of having no insurance at all. Worried, I called BPIA and spoke to Mark Woods. He was FAR more knowledgeable of the CA apartment insurance landscape, and knew exactly what to do and where to find high quality insurance. He explained to me patiently, and in detail the situation, and where we would find a provider. Finally, at the last minute, my old agent did find a policy. It was from out of state, without CA protections, and 2x the price of my old policy, with less coverage. Mark advised me that it was an inferior product and promised he would find a CA carrier with higher $$$ limits and a lower price. He made me his top priority, and searched tirelessly, and in the RIGHT places, communicating frequently along the way, as he knew I was worried. He found a CA carrier with 50% higher limits, better terms, and $2000 cheaper. Now we had to process a bunch of paperwork and answer detailed questions about circuit breakers brands, furnaces, and construction, as required by the carrier. We worked great as a team. The day my old policy expired, Mark worked with me until 11:55 PM to get all the paperwork done and submitted so that coverage would be in effect that same day. At 10:30 PM, when I said, "Mark, please take the rest of the night off and go to bed.", he said, "No. I dont want to see you go without coverage another day." He got the paperwork submitted a few minutes before midnight, showing an effective date that same day. I have to admit I have never gotten an adrenalin rush out of insurance before! Mark Woods at BPIA was the most professional, caring, hard working, dedicated insurance agent I have ever experienced. He took my need for insurance as a personal priority. I highly recommend him and BPIA without reservation.

Dylan Brazil Samantha was excellent, she has all the qualities you look for in customer service. I bought a new home, she was able to not only quickly and easily get me the best home insurance rate but also saved me on my car insurance!! She was responsive to my e-mails and phone calls and even called my old insurance carrier to work out the details. I would highly recommend her, she made the process very easy :)

Drea Mz Michael, Owner of this LLC is amazing. Got a great deal with premium coverage within 30 minutes. If youre looking to save time finding insurance, hes the guy! Its in the name.

Jayson Cohen I have been working with Smith Insurance Services for years. Year after year they keep impressing me. I have spent most of my life working in the healthcare side of the insurance industry, knowing how information insurance companies put out can be confusing. It is always refreshing to call SIS, to get an honest feedback and translation of my policies. This is rare in the industry as most people tell you what you "want" to hear, not what you need to hear. Thank you Smith Insurance Services for your years of help.

Vahe Avedian Would not recoomend this office. Also stay away from Susan!
