Will, at Placer West Insurance, is the greatest. He's always there if I ever need any assistance. Even on weekends. He goes way beyond to make sure any issues work out positive for me. I would never consider taking my business to anyone else.

Will Schwenning and the staff at Placer West Insurance have been responsive to our needs, professional in their communication and very generous with their time answering questions and concerns on both our home and auto policies. We had an issue while traveling with our fifth wheel and Will was very helpful in getting the appropriate help we needed.

We were evacuated from our home for nineteen days because of the Caldor Fire and, once again Will filed the appropriate claims and got the paperwork and visitations started. We are very appreciative of all of this agency's super and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of home or auto insurance. Edd and Sharon Donald

Moved out to Lincoln CA a couple of years back and called Will at Placer West for home insurance. I had other properties and vehicles in other states with other insurance companies. He worked very hard to get them all with the same outfit. He is very responsive and handled all my questions promptly and professionally. Worked with me on settling on the best coverage and value!

I love Placer West because they go to bat for me. I had trouble with an insurer and the team at Placer West resolved the issues with no negative consequences for our family. It is tough to trust but this team has earned our trust over numerous situations.
