"I would like to commend The agents and staff at Scott Graz, State Farm, Ilion location, for their help these last couple of weeks, resolving circumstances involving an accident, my vehicle was involved in! They guided me through every step of the process! And, everyone in the office seemed to be equally involved and willing to help! Thank you, Savannah, Bridget, Libby, Amy, and Carol! They reached out to me periodically through the entire process. They even called me from home a couple of times to see how I was doing with the issue, and helped Resolve any little things that arose. I cannot express how impressed and grateful I was with their attentiveness. Thank you again, everyone at Scott’s State Farm Ilion office!"

"Insurance is like dating, you keep shopping around until you find the right match and to use the same scenario metaphor, working with Cat was like running into your ex that you realized was the love of your life and getting things right the second time around. She helped us out when we were on Long Island but when we moved upstate we went with a broker recommended by our mortgage people, which was a big mistake. Finding out she’s working up here now was the best news I could have gotten and I was more than happy to turn to her for help finding better rates and coverage than what our current provider was offering. I was quickly reminded why she’s been in the business for over 10 years and is the best at what she does, with her prompt responsiveness and professional demeanor that is enveloped in her bubbly personality and makes it feel like more like catching up with an old friend than just completing a business transaction. She takes the time to explain anything you don’t get and answer any questions you may have, which isn’t much with Cat because you can trust she’s doing right by you and giving you exactly what you need and asked for. I’m glad to be doing business with her again and will be happy to send anyone I can her way so that they can have the same peace of mind that I now have knowing our cars and home are back in good hands."
We responded:
"Hi Chrystal, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! I’m glad our team could help you find exactly what you were looking for after the move. We truly value the hard work and dedication that each team member brings to ensuring our clients feel confident and supported. It means a lot to know that we’ve earned your loyalty, and that you felt the personal care and responsiveness that we strive to offer everyone. We’re here to make things easier and to ensure you’re always in good hands. If you ever need anything or have any other questions, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re always happy to help! - Scott Grates - State Farm Insurance Agent, Ilion, NY"

"I have been with SF Scott Gates agency for many years, I found their agency to be very helpful, of course they have to maintain all changes State Farm passes down but, I find their staff to be quite empathic to customers' needs, Carol Cusworth is especially an asset to this agency, This lady goes above and beyond the call of duty , takes the time to explain anything that appear to be in a grey area to a customer, return my calls, addresses my concerns satisfactorily. YES, an asset to State Farm also."

"Was in an accident over the weekend and wasn't given very much Information from the police for a report, and the other driver refused to provide me with their name or insurance carrier. Hadn't heard anything or documents uploaded via site given. I called and spoke with Carol in less than an hour she was able to contact the police department, get a fax of the incident report, provide me with the other persons insurance, she called them herself at 4:30p, and stayed with me on the phone as we filed the report with their insurance. All the worries I had just thinking about the process I was in for completely wiped away thanks to her dedication to helping. It wasn't Jake from State Farm who helped today but Carol from State Farm <3"
