My car was totaled on a holiday weekend, but he took my call and started the process for me right away. It was so awesome having someone who had my back to help me walk through everything with the insurance claim – because I promise you, I would have no idea what to do on my own. Brandon and his team answered every question and followed up with me through the whole process.”
