A.J. Amstrup – State Farm Insurance Agent

AJ is professional and friendly. He is a knowledgeable with all things State Farm and his team is ready to service all your insurance needs. I enjoy working with him!

AJ may have great prices… but ask him about his errors and omissions rate. For those of you who don’t know that lingo… It means if you are not told about or sold enough insurance for your financial circumstances and are in a at fault accident, you can be held personally liable for what the insurance company doesn’t have to pay. The thousands of dollars you save yearly can end up going to personal defense attorneys if you are served. An honest agent will refuse to right you a policy if they know you are underinsured. A dishonest one will write you one and let you gamble will the odds you will never be in an at fault accident. From these prior reviews, I see a lot of people probably unknowingly putting their personal assets at stake because of AJ’s great rates !

Working with AJ reminds me of small town customer service, where you know your neighbors and see them every day, updated for the 21^st century. What a refreshing change from the impersonal mega-​corporations we have to deal with for almost everything else.
Recently, my wife and I bought a house, and AJ and his office were the quickest and most helpful part of the process. We were able to get a homeowners insurance quote very quickly and then activating it took only an hour or so, with everything done by email or a quick phone call. AJ even took the initiative to help us save about $ 60 off the original quote.

We just moved to California from Europe and we had to take a number of new insurance policies. AJ was really helpful figuring out what kind of insurance coverage we needed. He was really patient with us and took the time to explain all the details in a way we could easily understand.
So if you are looking for a really helpful, honest and professional insurance agent, you cannot go wrong with AJ.

I was fortunate enough to meet AJ when I first relocated to Pleasanton from San Diego. My renewal dates were up and I thought that I had no major reason to change insurance carriers (been with AAA So. Cal for years). After an enjoyable meeting and an informative education from AJ, I learned how essential it is to have a knowledgeable and reliable agent. Prices were very competitive and I finally have the umbrella policy I have been meaning to get for years!
Thank you AJ, I know I am well covered for home, auto and umbrella. Now I have the peace of mind that if something goes wrong or if I have any questions, I have professional I can talk to directly.

I have been thinking about getting life insurance for a while now. I haven’t wanted to deal with an agent and I just didn’t want that extra expense. I was with my sister recently and I overheard her talking to an agent about life insurance so I asked her what she thought. She raved about this agent Jimmy Flores and made me promise I’d give him a try. The rest is history.
I cannot say enough good things about Jimmy. He is not what I expected when I thought of a life insurance agent. He was a total joy to be around, had been very patient with my millions of questions and was empathetic and understanding. He was very informative on top of it all! I consider Jimmy more of a friend at this point than anything else. He was that great. I now have life insurance from someone I trust. I will refer him to anyone I know looking for insurance!

If you want an insurance agent that will overcharge you for everything, AJ isn’t your guy.
If you want an insurance agent that will sell you policies you don’t need, AJ isn’t your guy.
If you want an insurance agent that you can’t ever get ahold of, AJ isn’t your guy.
However, if you want an honest insurance agent that’ll get you the best prices available for policies you truly need, then AJ is your man. He is a personable, reasonable agent that will be in service to you, not the insurance company.
I’ve never had a personal insurance agent before. Now that I do, I couldn’t go back to an insurance service that can only be reached via a
.xxxx number.

I had a wonderful experience with AJ. I purchased a new vehicle and my previous agent wouldn’t return any of my emails to get me pricing so I had to turn elsewhere. AJ was super quick with the response, got me great pricing AND added on renter’s insurance which I had been meaning to do but never got around to. He even worked with my company car program to get them all the information they needed (and multiple times because they kept misplacing it). I couldn’t be happier to have such an attentive agent — I would recommend AJ to anyone!

I didn’t think it was possible to find better insurance rates than the ones I had through a different, purely Internet-​based provider, however AJ was not only able to give me a better bottom line, but I ended up with better coverage as well. This is to say nothing of the very satisfying level of personal service with a real human on the other end, which was naturally missing completely with my last provider. Everyone should be lucky enough to get their insurance through someone like AJ.

I contacted AJ for help learning about life insurance just before my son was born. I knew nothing about it, other than that I wanted to be sure my kid wouldn’t be totally broke if something happened to me or my husband. AJ was incredibly helpful — he met my husband and I for dinner and explained all about what kinds of life insurance are available, what’s smart for us based on our age and income, and found us a policy that fits in our rather tight budget! He also, as a favor, looked at our car insurance, and pretty amazingly, was able to get us a better deal on that too — I’d been with Esurance for about 6 years, but AJ wrote us a better car insurance policy, that also included renters insurance and some medical coverage, for less than what we were paying Esurance.
AJ is a great person to work with — funny, totally on top of his game, and really helpful!
