My husband and I have been dealing with Charles Chitwood State Farm for a long time. Laura Kersting has been helping with adding a boat to our policy. She has been amazing with everything. Any questions I had, she was able to answer. She was also very quick with her responses. She has really been a pleasure to deal with. We highly recommend Charles Chitwood State Farm.

Lyndsey Follis is an outstanding assett. My house was recently reclassified into a flood zone in january. I found out about it in june, when i got a letter from my mortgage company. On top of that, i am also currently overseas. I called Charles Chitwood state farm and Lyndsey Follis was of great assistance from the first interacrion, until i had the flood insurance secured. At first there was a snafu, as my house was not classified as being in the correct city, and FEMA couldnt issue me insurance. Lyndsey was on top of it and followed up with the necessary agencies until the error had been corrected. I was having a bit of anxiety, but she kept in touch with me and let me know the situation. It took about two weeks to get everything resolved. She even made sure the documents were sent to my mortgage company. If i own more properties that require flood insurance, i will definitely return thanks to my interaction and experience working with Lyndsey. HIGHLY RECOMMEND - THANK YOU LYNDSEY.

I have been in business with Charles Chitwoods office for as long as I can remember. We have always had exceptional service, if for auto insurance or home insurance. Recently we purchased a new home with a builder and working the logistics of our old home insurance with the new home and bundling back in our auto policies; it was never an issue or concern. Ben Smith was on top of it and very helpful with all our needs, he even made suggestions that would save us money! Wonderful experience and I always refer people to this insurance office and will continue to do so.

Mr. Charles Chitwood and his God-Sent Staff at State Farm Insurance in Summerville, SC, helped me so much through a severe crisis recently. In particular, Mr. Benak R. Smith went way above and beyond the call of duty to get involved and helped me through one of the worst times in my life! Ben and the other great Staff there at Charles Chitwoods Agency truly saved my life by their hard work and immediate intervention on my behalf one dark day. State Farms slogan is so right-on! Charles Chitwood and his Staff at State Farm are THE best neighbor Ive ever had; and they were a great blessing from God! I cannot thank them enough for their outstanding service!

My husband has had his insurance several years through this state farm agency. I worked with Ben Smith to set up my insurance with my husband now that we are married. He was great to work with! He presented all the possible options and pricing clearly, gave us time to think about what we would like and made sure that the policy fit our individual needs. He also made the process to sign up easy and efficient. Would recommend!

Being young and in the military, it’s quite difficult to bring myself to finally be an adult and get car insurance. I’ve been calling every major insurance company for quotes and the call has been substandard. To be completely honest, I didn’t want to go with State Farm because I would rather have USAA since they are military operated. But I decided to test the waters and give State Farm a call. I spoke with Laura Kersting to get a quote and I was very pleased with the customer service. As a typical consumer, I really value good people who are easy to talk to. Laura was a very professional and sweet person. It’s really people like her that make people feel comfortable about taking big steps in life (like getting your very first car insurance policy). She gave me good answers and did her best to find more information to better help me. Like I said, I didn’t really take State Farm seriously. I only called State Farm because I was advised by my family to look at every option to find the best value. I had a good experience and State Farm offers good discounts. However, if it wasn’t for Laura, I probably would have just gone with Geico. But now I look forward to opening a policy with state farm in a couple of days.

Yesterday I faced the nightmare of replacing my lost license at the DMV. I was told that I couldn’t move forward until I cleared a lapse in insurance coverage in 2019...the “lapse” was on a vehicle that had been totaled by State Farm in January of 2019. The time frame in question was May-June 2019! Despite the fact that people do not typically insure totaled vehicles, I had to reach out to Mr. Chitwood’s office. Justin helped me throughout the day by providing phone numbers for me, helping me to understand what I needed and eventually clearing me to get my license. I so appreciate his assistance!!!

Mr. ChitwoodI just wanted you to know I had a great Conversation with Lyndsey Follis, your well Knowledgeable State Farm’s team leader representative who made me feel like apart of the State Farm’s family. And she made me feel like a team is not a team unless you care about each other and she cared about my concerns, She was well Rounded in State Farm’s Insurance platforms I was comfortable and I wanted to inform you, also whoever is training your team is doing a fantastic job have a great and safe day.JUAN F WASHINGTON

I had a bit of an emergency and I reached out to my State Farm location to get a Letter or Experience emailed to me. My original experience was not a good one. The person who answered the phone was slightly rude and transferred me to someone named Ben who has yet to get back to me.After waiting hours for a call back, I tried again. Lucky for me I got in contact with Lexi Hearn the second time and she was absolutely wonderful. She was so kind and willing to help. She wasn’t able to help me immediately but she did not forget about me and gave me updates along the way. Lexi was wonderful and is definitely an asset to the team. She turned around me while experience and for that I am thankful!

During these trying times for all I must say I couldn’t be more pleased with the service I was provided. I had an issue with my account and Lexi Hearn couldn’t have been more helpful. She responded really quickly and answered all my questions and kept me updated with the issue and keeping me very informed and making sure I understood what was going on. She was very kind and very professional and it’s so refreshing in times we live in right now to have a friendly person on the other end to help.

Thank You, Mr. Chitwood, for being our Insurance Agent for 40+ years. I am Grateful and Blessed Today because YOU offered my husband and I an Umbrella Policy back in 1991. Because of a Pedestrian Accident that was not our fault, even the Police Report stated my husband was not at fault, the high powerful attorneys sued us for $1,100,000.00 (one million one hundred thousand dollars). State Farm paid the claim. If you listen to the adds on TV Today, and are not protected by an Umbrella Policy with State Farm, see Charles Chitwood State Farm Agency, immediately. God Bless You for making me aware of this 28 years ago.

I have been with USAA (by mistake I might add) and was very much mistreated and I am a RETIRED USN Navy Chief Petty Officer and was totally ignored and lied to by USAA.Fortunately I was with State Farm in the past and Miss Jennifer Ortiz handled my car account in the past and still had my home owners insurance. In two phone calls, State Farm agreed to go after USAA for the amount of the damages I was trying to get (7500 dollars) by a USAA insured car that crashed into my house. This showed me the care that I needed and will have again, because as of today USAA is no longer with my account and I have gone back to State Farm for total coverage and I enjoyed the personal service that this office and Miss Jennifer gave. They was very professional in handling all of the personal needs of my account.Thank you for the professional courtesies and I will stay with State Farm and would highly recommend this office to anyone searching for a OUTSTANDING insurance firm.Ed Bowden

For my accident they did an awesome, so I will give them that. BUT My mother and I have been fighting a payment issue for forever it seems. They LOSE payments and then try to charge you for a double payment and threaten cancellation. So as I write this I am looking for NEW insurance.

Review №53

Honestly, the worst insurance agency I have ever been with. Adding or removing a car becomes the most complicated thing ever with this agency. I removed 2 cars and 2 drivers and sent proof of new insurance and 3 weeks later I’m getting emails about monthly amount being due and it was the same as if nothing had changed. Each month we never knew what our policy would be as it would fluctuate. For over 20 years I was with Progressive and you get a payment schedule and it’s the same for 6 months ...no such concept with State Farm. Granted we added 2 cars and 2 new drivers, but after adding the 2 drivers we had 3 months where our payment ranged from $450-$740. The agents seem nice enough, but something is lost in translation with this office. Once they even said we would get a $220 credit, only to be billed more...it’s like the Twilight Zone of billing and technology at this office.I’m so thrilled I don’t have to deal with them anymore.

I was in a minor car accident. State Farm Agent Kelsie Pigman assisted me with all the paperwork and step by step procedures. She was knowledgeable, efficient, and put me right at ease. Within 24 hours I was able to complete everything. Next week JT Paint and Body Shop will begin work on my car. State Farm Claims Team guided me through the process with 100% efficiency! Special thanks to State Farm Adjustor, Shana. She provided body work estimate & took the time to explain the process.

This tiny outdated office on Main St across from the car lot and BB& T needs to update their whole office. It smells like dirty carpet but more like mothballs. Waiting area is small with a 19 tv on the wall. Makes you wonder where is all the premium payments going? Mustbe to keep the lights on and those outdated desktops running slow! Go further down the street to the other Statefarm near Bilo on Main St. Staff there is much friendlier and the decor is so awesome you feel like your at home. Happy Shopping.

I filed a claim with State Farm on Wednesday, June 15th 2016 for minimal damage to a 2009 Honda Civic.The damage consisted of a broken drivers window, a broken drivers sideview mirror, and a scratched front drivers side quarter-panel.Although the damage was minimal, the drivers side window was broken out. In sweltering summer heat and daily thunderstorms, State Farm insisted that instead of immediately fixing the window (I was at SafeLite at 1:30pm on Wednesday with an emergency appointment) that they would send an adjuster out in three to five business days.Only after I pitched a fit repeatedly via their horrid 800-number claims division on Friday, June 17th, did State Farm agree to finally send a wrecker for my car and a rental, as both are included in my premium policy.On Friday night, the 17th, I remained where I was instructed to wait off of Morrison Ave in downtown Charleston for the arriving tow truck and rental car, neither of which ever showed.When I phoned Enterprise on Meeting Street not far from Morrison, chosen for its close proximity to my location, they told me they would not be picking me up due to the nature of their location, staff, and hours, and that State Farm should have let me know and/or made other arrangements.Mind you, during this experience, whenever I phoned State Farm Claims to find out what the delay was or to raise Cain that the rental nor wrecker was there yet, I had to get back into the waiting queue and start the story over from square one with whatever Good Neighbor I got on the line.Today is the 12th of August 2016. I still do not have my car back.I have filed multiple serious - and seriously detailed - complaints with the State Farm Executive Headquarters. For the past weeks, my claim has been handled exclusively by Kimberly Chung of the executive office, something Charles Chitwood should have done himself. Prior to lodging any complaints above his head I phoned and granted he and his office the courtesy of extinguishing the fire. His office let me know that he was in the building, but unable to take the call.He never called. Ever. Not from the 15th of June through today, the 12th of August.In direct response to the handling of this claim, my parents (differing last name) moved all of their account from Charles Chitwoods office. Can you believe that Charles took the time to phone them personally to leave a message requesting a call back when he caught wind that some accounts walked out!? He still hasnt phoned me, and I can guarantee you that my parents wont be returning his call, either.I believed I had paid my premium policy on time, in full, every month, for years on end to enjoy a premium insurance policy and premium customer service. I was sorely mistaken. It has cost me money, countless hours, and unimaginable grief.Good Neighbor Service ... good riddance!Spare yourself the trauma, drama, and spare your own mama by checking out the other State Farm agents in the area if you insist on the brand. Charles and his office have compromised the State Farm brand at every turn.
