Wow! What can I say, I've been with Tri-Star for several years now working with Karen Alfaro, she's an absolute super star! As a rep, she's efficient, friendly, and an absolute joy to work with. Karen always manages to get my family and I the best of deals, while providing us with professional service, if you are not satisfied she listens and is able to provide you with alternate solutions. I feel catered to. Always a great experience! Stop dealing with non-responsive, poor customer service and head over to TRI-STAR now! They will get you the best service available!

I can't believe the customer service from Octavio, it's not hard yet so hard to come by in today's world. On top of a bad record I also needed rideshare coverage and Octavio was able to help me get a better policy at a better price then the last time I called him up! He also got me a awesome home insurance policy last year when I bought a condo! The $80 broker fee I paid was well worth the $96 dollars a month I saved on my auto insurance and I was back on the road within hours!

I have worked with Diana from The Insurance Place numerous times for insurance needs--auto, home, earthquake--she has always been prompt, thorough, polite, and helpful. Other staff that I have contacted have also been very responsive and care about the customer. I highly recommend Diana and the company.
