"Great customer service"
We responded:
"Makalah, thank you for noticing our work on customer service. We are a team who loves to give our best every time. In a time where so many don't care about their customers, especially in the insurance industry, we try to be the ones who actually care and who are knowledgeable about insurance products and how they work to help serve you before and during the claim. Be sure to tell others to come to Gary Bock State Farm for top notch customer service...and our amazing rates will make them smile too. ~ Gary"

"There simply are NO words to describe how customer oriented and caring Gary, Susan, and his entire State Farm team are; first and foremost, getting to personally know you for better understanding how best to serve and "armor" you on the insurance side. Never pressuring.....always thoughtful. Rest assured you're never just another number in Gary's State Farm family. He's not happy until you are. Our Toledo area genuinely has a small town treasure with this State Farm Agent! Thank you. Gary and Team. 🤩"
We responded:
"Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, John! Your kind words truly mean a lot to me and my team. It has been great to help you both with your insurance needs over the past few years and look forward to helping you for years to come. You have certainly seen how we deliver at time of claims and more. Be sure to send others our way for all their auto, home, life and Med S needs. We are here to listen to your needs and to find just the right solutions to give you great coverage, rates and service. ~ Gary"

"Returned call from Angela, i didn't get Angela but i got her coworker. Rudest person I've talked to in a while and i work in service. Accused me of not calling back my customer for 2 years. didn't ask me about it, accused me of it. The unit got here in June, the claim is 2 years old but it has never been here, until June. I'm not even the advisor on that which i was accused of being that to. She had no facts correct but started slinging accusations anyway. VERY unprofessional."
We responded:
"Jake, thank you for giving us this review so that I could do more research on your concern. First, I found that you are not a customer with Gary Bock State Farm. In fact, as I researched your concerns I found that you are actually an employee at Camping World in Cedar Falls Iowa. It appears that you are in the service/body shop/department at Camping World Cedar Falls Iowa. I also found that one of our customers who had a claim from Aug 2024 is finally able to get her camper in for repair at Camping World. What I also learned is that my customer dropped off her camper 5 weeks prior for an estimate and subsequent repair. My customer also called repeatedly to Camping World Cedar Falls and after many attempts, no one from Camping World would return her calls. Come to find out, Camping World logged her camper under the WRONG NAME. No wonder she is frustrated with Camping World in Cedar Falls. When our insured couldn't get calls back from the service/body shop advisor, she called my office for assistance in reaching someone for help at Camping World in Cedar Falls. I am personally thankful that my team would care enough for our customers to make calls for them to your facility to ask enough tough questions to finally get some answers for our insured so that they can get the help that they deserve. I am confident that my service/claims team was able to ask those tough questions of you, not in a rude way, but rather in a straight-forward way so that both our customer and Camping World can get this claim moving forward and finalized for the insured, under the correct owner/insureds name. As my team mission states, "we are here for you before life happens" I guess I should change it to include "here for you before and when life happens." I/we look forward to seeing her claim come to a good resolution very soon. ~ Gary"

"I've been with Gary's agency for years and they have been the best! Gary and his crew are very knowledgeable, and they work hard to make everything go smoothly and efficiently. What has always impressed me about Gary's team is how fast they respond to emails and phone calls - even after half the town got hit with a massive hailstorm. You don't always get that level of service from insurance companies. Service like that makes for great peace of mind!"
We responded:
"Chris, we very much appreciate you sharing your experience with us for others to know that we are not a usual insurance agency. We really do try our best to be prompt, efficient, friendly and simply helpful (yes, even/especially when half the city did get hit with a massive hail storm). The sheer # of hail claims may be huge, but we do our best to respond to every email/call/text as quickly and accurately as possible. Thanks again for taking a moment to do a 5 Star review for us. We want others to know that we are a unique insurance agency here to help with great rates, great service and years of knowledge of the insurance industry. Be safe! ~ Gary"

"The staff was friendly, which made my experience with them even more disappointing because of the way they’re handling my refund. Due to my decision to stay with my current provider. I have had better experiences with insurance companies for half the price. They must be understaffed because it’s taken over 2 weeks to return my money and according to their email response they won’t be returning the entire amount. I was assured that the cancellation would be condition free."
We responded:
"Hi Mitch, thank you for reaching out. I am sorry that you had a bad experience. As you can tell, that is not normal for our agency. As I reviewed your account, I do see that the end of February you did bring your one auto to State Farm. I did some research with the team member who submitted the cancelation for you. I have my service team working to get the full cancelation refund back to you promptly. If you need anything in the meantime, please don't hesitate to reach out to one of my offices for assistance."

"If there were a zero-star option for Gary Bock, that is what I would leave.

I had a very disappointing experience working with Gary Bock. The service was unorganized and frustrating from start to finish.

I was initially overcharged due to a misquote and never received the proper refund. Instead of refunding my debit card, I was offered a gift card as a “refund,” which is not an acceptable solution. I also paid my policy in full and was told no monthly payment would be taken from my account, yet it was still charged and I had to wait to get that money back.

There were multiple administrative errors as well — drivers’ names were misspelled or completely incorrect, drivers I asked to remove were not removed, and some were even added back without being requested. I gave a full week’s notice about purchasing a new vehicle and provided the VIN and all required information, yet my policy details and updated costs were not available for two weeks, which led to additional overbilling.

On top of that, my home insurance increased by thousands of dollars and I received a notice in the mail with no explanation as to why. When I called to ask about the reason for the increase, they didn’t know and had to “look into it.” This is something an insurance office should already be aware of and able to clearly explain to their customers, especially when the increase is that significant.

Even after months of waiting, I still have not received a simple $30 refund.

Overall, the experience felt disorganized and unnecessarily difficult. Instead of resolving issues promptly, I often felt like I had to do the work to identify and prove their mistakes rather than receiving straightforward customer service.

Very disappointed with the service provided."
We responded:
"Lindsey,

I am so sorry that you were not satisfied with your experience with our agency. As you can tell, that is extremely unusual, as we have had over 200 5 Star Google reviews over the past 15 months. I know from speaking with you that you certainly have had a challenging past year or so through the divorce and the separate dog bite litigation. I noticed that from your initial low review that was originally posted you mentioned Steve who is no longer employed with our agency but decided to change that review to not include that. I also noticed in the original post that you mentioned never speaking or communicating with me and changed that post to post this different low review. In the original post you mentioned that I never communicated with you, which is interesting, since I remember and made notes of speaking with you, talking about many things that are going on in your life, where you work in Urbandale, your family, just to name a few. I also have over 20 email exchanges/phone calls that were from either you and/or your boyfriend regarding your account. That being said, I would say that with all the changes of vehicles in/out, adding a youthful driver, removing a spouse and other drivers from your household, to, as you mentioned, adding a new vehicle and more definitely was a number of items to process for State Farm, right as State Farm was going through the largest change in their quoting AND billing systems that I have ever seen. The good news is that it has produced a much nicer, smoother, and often times better savings for current and future insureds. However, unfortunately, at the time you were doing all these changes personally, unfortunately so was State Farms systems, which did result in delays in processing. For that I am sorry. Please know that I have spoken many times with State Farm on your account, to rectify the issues and they have promised that they have done all they can on your account. Again, I wish you and yours all the best and do apologize that your account landed right in the middle of State Farms systems shifts which certainly gave a wrong image of my agency. Again, as you can tell from the numerous 5 Star reviews, it is an unheard-of experience by our numerous satisfied customers."
