x3 on State Farm.
I also had an experience with them to make me glad they've been my chosen insurance company (especially where vehicles & trailers are concerned), since April '83! I was at a drag race at Bandimere Speedway, and in the afternoon the got a hellacious wind storm with winds speeds around 100mph. Since the pit area I was on (at that time) was gravel it became a nightmare not only for me but for the young lady who worked the ticket booth....the rock pebbles shattered the glass around her pit booth and sprayed her with it. Where I was concerned the rock pebbles shattered my rear window of my Z24, and severely chipped my other glass (anyone who has ever wondered why the right rear tail-light of my car has what looks like a bullet hole in it, it's from that windstorm). Furthermore, in my haste to save the rest of my cars glass from caving in like my rear window I drove near the fence (so as to get out of the way of the lifted up rock pebbles). In so doing I exposed my toolbox to some bastards who took that opportunity to steal my tool box, and the majority of the tools I bought from a tech school I attended 15yrs earlier (the tool box and the tools inside it were all ingraved with the number #221, which was the number on my '76 Chevy Vega when I won the Memorial Day High School Dragfest...also at Bandimere's). State Farm not only replaced all of the broken glass, but they replaced nearly all of my tools (at least all that I recalled at claim time were in the box when it was stolen...oh how I'd love to be in a boxing ring with the guy who stole them, I'd do my best to let him know how thankful I am for his actions)!!!!
Go with the State...State Farm!
