“Thanks, so much for your great service! We were so pleased with your response time, and with the way that you made sure we were taken care of us when our water tank burst and flooded our basement.”
“We’ve been a client of Jenks Family Insurance Agency for 3 years. Just wanted you to know we love and really appreciate all the work you put into the community. See you at next Elk’s Dinner.”
“You guys have been great with your support for the local food bank, and as one of the food bank board members, I really appreciate your efforts. You really turned up the donations with your December food drive – thanks for the support. My family has been insured for 4 years with you. We’d never find this kind of community support with anyone selling insurance through a 1-800 number!”
“For over 30 years we hadn’t ever had a claim. Last month we were hit by an uninsured motorist and didn’t know what to do. DeWitt was great, talking us through the process. Your follow up calls made an unnerving situation bearable. I’m so glad we work with you.”
“Facebook: Best Insurance agency I’ve ever dealt with. Dewitt you have an excellent business, your employees are the best every time I’ve call they have answered all my questions. There Staff is the best they will research the best insurance companies and prices and find you the best deal possible. I feel completely at ease knowing your agency is behind me. Thanks guys.”
“Kristen, thank you for all your time and energy today in finding a more reasonable car and home insurance. Your dad should be proud of your computer expertise but especially your warm communication with the public.”
