Testimonials
“Engle Insurance has been a blessing to my family. I was 8 months pregnant when my husband got into an accident and broke his leg. Thankfully, we had Engle Insurance! The staff helped us with contacting our carriers and made dealing with corporate insurance a breeze. They were always there when we had questions or concerns. We trust Engle Insurance with all our insurance needs including home, cars, and motorhome.”
- Paula Montgomery, Westminster, CA
“A client of Engle Ins Brokers since 2004, I have continually received quality insurance service as well as valuable insight pertaining to my personal and business insurance needs. My attitude toward this agency has always been one of utmost appreciation, though even more so in Jan 2007. I came home on what had been an ordinary Saturday afternoon only to find a wall of water cascading down the face of my house. While wading through this newly formed bath tub home, complete with overhead broken pipe shower-head, I then called my agent. She quickly advised me of what to do, and who to call. The dry-out process began that evening and within a few days I was contacted by a claims adjuster. My agent worked with the adjuster to make sure the proper steps were taken to return the house to normal. All I can say is its nice to know someone will help to resolve a claim when called upon.”
- Steve Hammer, Paso Robles, CA
“Engle & Associates saved me $516.00 on my personal insurance package!! Not only that, they did a complete coverage analysis and found that I was underinsured in some areas. So not only did I increase my coverage, but I also saved $516.00!! I got better coverage, for MUCH less money! I would recommend Engle & Associates to anyone I know!”
- Marguerite Burns
“Engle & Associates have been so helpful over the past years with all of my family’s insurance needs. You guys are so easy to get a hold of and are so punctual in getting things done. My family and I truly enjoy working with your staff and above all you make the insurance process very easy! Thank you!”
