I’ve had StFarm for many many Years & pay $772.58/Yr for My 90Westy & 

have never been disappointed when I needed them ~ Several Years ago a car in

front hit a tree branch in the road & flipped it into My Van taking out the DriveSide

HeadLight, puting a thumbnail sized dent in the body edge left of the light& another 

small dent in the DriveSide Groove a couple of feet behind the door,,, Body shop

StFarm sent Me to said it would be $1200 to fix,,, StFarm handed Me a Check &

said fix it or don’t, We don’t care,,, I asked, If I cash the check will My rates go up

& answer was, If You had hit the branch Your rates would go but since the branch

hit You there will be no increase ~
