Johnson Pohlman, and Jon Scalf, who is one of their insurance agents, do an outstanding job. They are highly professional, but also have saved me a lot of money. I love the service they provide and their diligent work trying to find new companies that will provide a better value and savings from year to year. They even helped my newly married daughter save money when she came off my insurance. Great value for anyone needing an insurance quote of any age. Parents of teenagers tell me how expensive their auto insurance is and are shocked at how little I pay. I comparison shop for insurance every few years and they still saved me hundreds of dollars. Give them a call and ask for Jon Scalf.

I can't say enough about Jon Scalf and how happy we are we switched our insurance. Jon took the time to review our previous policy and find a way to save us money on our premium. He also noticed some gaps in our coverage so added the extra coverage we needed while still keeping our premium lower than our old policy. We then had a loss that would not have been covered without the addition coverage Jon added. He helped us through the claim process and was there every step of the way. Switching our insurance to Jon Scalf was definitely the right move!

My agent is very straight up an forward with the premiums, explaining why my rates have fluctuated recently and following his instructions 6 months later I am $150 a month cheaper with a requote. Along with very personable if your looking to get exceptional service, this is the company.
