The staff at this State Farm office are always friendly and helpful(mostly). Today Amadou spent quite a while on the phone with me going over the details of a complicated bill due to adding and selling a vehicle. His help was greatly appreciated and left me feeling clear and comforted that all was correct (just confusing). Excellent customer service!

I have worked with Amadou for the last year. He is very helpful, responsive and professional. I highly recommend Amadou if you are looking for an insurance agent!

Steve Vinklarek’s office is always on top of it and always professional. One of their employees, Liz, has proactively reached out to me with updates, adjustments, and discounts to my policy that I qualify for. Highly recommend.

This has been a totally unacceptable customer service experience on every level for over a year now. We find it really telling that when they want to sell us another policy (we have 5 policies in total with them), we get calls and emails almost daily. Yet when we actually need their assistance with a rare claim they choose to respond with radio silence. Steve Vinklarek himself makes excuses that they are just so busy, and yet when he gets wind that we may want life insurance he is suddenly available and taking the initiative to reach out to us repeatedly. Whats worse is that their claims department is the worst version of the stereotypical insurance company that does everything possible not to pay and honor your policy. We are canceling all of our policies with them and would encourage others to look elsewhere.

Great team and friendly communication. Liz helped me make a last minute change to my renters policy in a very efficient manner and even helped me to understand the ins and outs of my new policy in a way I could understand. Very helpful team!

I could not be happier from the amazing customer service to value for the price. This group brings back the days when you knew who you did business with and they would look you in the eye and shake your hand because they had nothing to hide, their only goal was to serve you the customer. I recommend you do yourself a favor and request a quote.

The team is very responsive and easy to talk to. They don’t just try to sell you the most expensive plan, but the one that is best for you. Filing a claim is incredibly simple and quick.

Steve and his staff are the best! The truly define what it means to have great customer service and take care of their clients like no other. Steve has personally gone to bat for me on multiple occasions when we had insurance claims and has made sure that I was taken care of in the best possible manner. Everyone in his office is so friendly and easy to deal with and they all go out of their way to help make the insurance process easy. They are also super responsive when you have a question or crisis. I have been with Steve for over 15 years and I would highly recommend him and State Farm to anyone looking for their insurance agent for life.

Steve has been our neighbor for many years. He has continually gone out of his way to make our neighborhood a better and safer place to live.Steve has spent years involving himself in unique ways of stirring up a true sense of community. Every holiday season he coordinates family activities such as Halloween Hay rides and multi- category Contests for best Holiday Decorations.I know we all appreciate the time he and his family spends to make BCW such an exceptional place to live.

Ive been with the Vinklarek agency as long as I remember, likely 20+ years. I have remained with them for a reason: good customer service. Of course, I appreciate and value having State Farm as the insurer (we have SF for both vehicles and home), but as valuable as that is to us, the real benefit is being able to phone Vinklarek and immediately get a knowledgeable person to speak to. Ive phoned at least once a year lately to explore ways to reduce rates without undertaking too much risk, and theyve helped every time. I highly recommend them!

Best Motorcycle Insurance Prices for New BikesWhen I bought my new bike, I was shocked at insurance rates from other providers. State Farm gave me a great rate that was almost what I was paying on my 8 year old bike. They provided great service when I had to make a claim as well.Plus everyone in Steves office Ive dealt with has been professional and competent.

Ive been with Steve since I first moved to Austin. I moved to Dallas a couple of years later and Steves office never skipped a beat! They are always kind, incredibly helpful (especially with my stupid questions!) and knowledgeable. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for an insurance agent! Ive even spoken directly with Steve to get his advice about a financial matter and he was exceptional. Thank you, Steve Vinklarek and your staff for all you do!

Insuring a teen driver isnt easy, but Samantha and Liz were able to save us a ton! These ladies were so easy to work with and provided us with same day quotes. We cancelled our home and auto coverage with previous carrier and made the switch to State Farm!! We cannot recommend this agency enough. Thank you!

Ive used State Farm for renters insurance for a few years now and when I moved to Austin, they made it the easiest experience to switch all of my information and get me in touch with the Steve Vinklarek office. I just recently called to add another person onto my policy and they made it so simple and quick, I was thoroughly impressed. Ruben helped me today and is just so kind and the entire staff has been nothing but helpful and informative to me for the past year Ive been with this particular office. Thanks guys!

Steve was recommended to me from an old coworker who was a long time client and spoke very highly of him and his team. I am so glad she did because I have had nothing but positive experiences with them. They have always been so helpful and patient, walking me through all the aspects of my policy when I first joined (it was my first time getting insurance off my parents plan). Even more recently, I moved and forgot to update my billing address with them, they called me to let my know my payment didnt process, they let me call them back a few hours later (since I was at work) and were very patient with me, getting to the root of the problem. Would definitely recommend them to anyone in the market for insurance.

I got a couple of different quotes to insure my wedding rings but all were sky high or forced me to bundle with other services. Not here! I quickly received a quote at a great price, very friendly service from Liz and she set up a great policy that covered everything I needed. I will definitely use Steves agency again when I am shopping for insurance.

My husband had been a client of Steves for many many years until he passed away and I assumed all the bills for my son and I. In the 10 to 15 years working with Steve on car accidents, roof problems, other incidents, Etc., I have never been disappointed once. At any point that I have had to call, Steve and State Farm have immediately taken care of my case and have been so reassuring and they have let me know that I need not worry and in every single case that was true. I have never had to call back and say did you take care of this or that; they promised they would take care of it, and they did, plain and simple. So, I have no complaints whatsoever and that kind of security is virtually unheard of, especially these days. I also have to put a word in for the staff. They are the first thing you see or talk to when you need them and the phone never rings more than two or three times, the staff immediately takes down the information, has never been rude, if it is after hours or on weekends I am assured that they will have the local office call me the next day and true to form, they have never disappointed either. I just think they are top notch and wish they sold health insurance. I give them five stars and highly recommend Steve and his staff. --Cara

I rarely write reviews because it takes a pretty outstanding experience to compel me to, so know when reading this that Im a tough audience to impress. But IMPRESSED (yep, all caps for emphasis) I am with the incredible customer service experience I get from these guys, every single time I have an issue. The ease with which everything gets dealt with is just amazing and Id recommend them in a heartbeat.

Like a good neighbor, State Farm is THERE! Like for real, they are right here when you need them, and that is so convenient. I lost my debit card the other day and I saw one of the agents at lunch and they took care of it right there for me! Steve is the friendliest guy and a big supporter of the community and I am so happy to give my business to him and his team. Plus i have the best rate package (car, motorcycle, and renters) that can be found online or at a location. Saving $ is important to me, and they have the best customer service AND best prices! NO BRAINER, big 2-thumbs up!

Steve Vinklarek and his staff at State Farm are the best!! I always feel comfortable talking to the staff about any questions, or problems that arise in regard to my insurance. I like the feeling of community that they exhibit in their conversation and expertise. I feel like I am talking to a friend and to people that understand where I am coming from and I am not just an account number. I will also highly recommend them to my friends.

5 Stars, because the staff is very professional, always helpful, and always quick to answer any questions I have. They also keep me up to date with any opportunity there is to lower my rates! I’m a loyal State Farm customer.

Review №31

I don’t often write reviews - only when I’m over-the-moon impressed or totally let down. Luckily, this was the former. From the beginning, they were incredibly easy to work with. I spoke with Samantha on the phone a couple of times, and she was always a delight. They somehow cut my rates in half, even though I was already a State Farm customer. Changing insurance is normally a pain - but this was anything but. I am so glad that I am now working with Samantha, Liz, and the rest of the agency!

Review №33

If you want a State Farm agent that actually listens and cares about you and your family... this is the place to go! Mr. Vinklarek and his team always answer phones, are always polite and always go the extra mile for their clients.I was at another SF agent (I wont mention names) but the service was horrible. Never received call backs, took days to receive a response and when I left a message stating that I was thinking of moving to another SF agent, she didnt even fight to keep me.Mr. Vinklareks Team open their arms to me and my family, and even took the time to read over my account and suggested adjustments to my policies that now better benefit my family. They are AMAZING!

We have been with Steve for over 25 years. Steve was the one that helped us with our Renters Insurance when we first started out; and has been there through all our Insurance need (Auto Ins. - Home Ins. - Life Ins. - Kids Ins.). The team has always given great service over the years. Thank you to the Awesome Team and Steve.

Review №37

Steve and team are unbelievable! Its difficult in this day and age to find someone thats truly interested in whats critical to your family and takes the additional time to understand whats important and then suggest solutions based upon personalized needs rather than what some corporate initiative mandates. Weve trusted Steve with our cars, house, life insurance, investment planning, college savings, etc. etc. for almost two decades and hes always been extremely honest and dependable and has helped us through some pretty difficult situations and we are extremely grateful.Thank you so much for everything!The Burnettes

Ive had my insurance with this office for several years and I have been very pleased. Their service team is super responsive if I have any questions and are pleasant to deal with if I have any needs. I have been a State Farm customer for my entire adult life and this office is one of the best I have dealt with as a State Farm Agency. If you need homeowners insurance, car insurance, or even life insurance or a loan they can help you out.
