State Farm® Insurance Agent Julia Tipolt

"I have had Julia Tipolt and here team take care of my family's insurance needs for over 15 years now. The service is exemplary and they go above and beyond to solve any issues you have. An example of that exemplary service was from Ashley Donnelly who within minutes obtain key documents for me to speed up the closing of my mortgage refinance! Do not fall for the "bait-and-switch" 1-800 insurance companies out there."

"As I near the end of my career with State Farm, I am happy to recommend Julia Tipolt and her agency to those looking for employment. Juila and her team provide an environment that allows for personal and professional growth, and employees are paid well with plenty of additional benefits and financial incentives offered. If you are looking to challenge yourself and work with someone who will show you what it takes to succeed, you will do well to work with Julia Tipolt and her team at State Farm!"

"I was happy to hear Julia Tipolt took over Mark Jackson's office after his long deserved retirement. Julia, and especially Sarah, did an outstanding job explaining the policies to me after both my daughters got newer vehicles and my son became a new driver. They really took care of my family's needs."

"I've been a client of Julia Tipolt's for some years. All my person to person interaction with Julia or her staff has been nothing but stellar. Most recently I need to update my insurance information with one of my creditors. I called the office and spoke to Lisa who told me that all she needed was the necessary information and that she would take care of it. She not only took care of my request, but she did it on the same day and even followed up with me to let me know it was all done. Now that is what I call service, and that is why I choose to have Julia Tipolt's State Farm Office handle all my insurance needs. *******Update*******5/31/24***** Being long time clients of Julia's office, we just recently purchased a new Mazda and traded in one of our vehicles. I called and spoke to Sarah M. to update my auto polices and it was taken care of in a quick and succinct manner. Fantastic service!"

"LISA RUDNICKI IS AN EXCELLENT AGENT! VERY EFFICIENT, KNOWLEDGEABLE AND GREAT PERSONALITY. SHE HELPED ME TO UNDERSTAND AUTO INSURANCE BETTER. SHE MAKES THINGS EASIER AND SIMPLER. I DO THINK THAT I'LL BECOME A STATE FARM CLIENT SOON! YOUR SERVICES AND RATES ARE BETTER.KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK LISA RUDNICKI !"

"Having car insurance is a must have, and something I don’t think much about on a daily basis. Until, I have an incident where I must use my car insurance to get it fixed. Last week, I called Thomas Woodard with State Farm in Vandenberg Village, near Lompoc. As always, Thomas is the utmost example of professionalism and superior customer service. Thomas walked me through every step of the process to get my vehicle repaired, and offered several options to pick from. I was surprised to realize that I could get a rental car while my vehicle was being repaired. I had no idea that was even an option. My fault for not knowing, but a great surprise! Once my vehicle was handed over to a local body shop, Thomas sent text messages and emails to inform me of how things were going so I could plan ahead. Honestly, the process was so easy, and I felt very cared for by Thomas and State Farm insurance company. I highly recommend State Farm, and especially working with Thomas Woodard. Thomas is the example of how a good company should treat their customers."

"It’s always a relief to know My State Farm at Julia’s will handle anything that happens to my Subaru. An uninsured vehicle banged my bumper and it was hassle free having my “people” State Farm take care of all the details including rental and dealing with the other insurance company. Great job! Thanks."

"I’m changing and making some additions to my insurance policies and called Julia’s office late in the day, asking for some quotes. Sarah Merrick, who answered the phone said she’d get right on it. I had them in less than twenty minutes. Talk about right on it. Right on."

"I have been a client of this agency for several years — since my previous carrier stopped writing policies in CA. The service has always been exceptional. My contact, Lisa Rudnicki recently provided me with exceptional and patient service. I wholeheartedly recommend her and Julia Tipolt-State Farm!"

"I have been a client of this agency for several years. The service has always been exceptional. Although the Agent recently retired, the support staff remained in place. My contact, Thomas Woodard, has provided me with the most professional service that I have ever received from an insurance company. Highly recommended!"

"A second review (the first one is below): Also 5 stars. On April 11, 2024, I stopped by the State Farm office in Solvang with a list of questions I'd been collecting for a few months. The questions involved policies for both my elderly mother and me. I had about eight boxes to check - everything from 'can you explain coinsurance to me' to what is the procedure for updating the replacement value of my mother's house for her homeowners policy to solving a logon issue to explaining a particular EOB to me to adding me as a 3rd party contact in the even my mother forgets to pay a policy premium and so on. I stopped by thinking I would just make an appointment to come in and discuss my long list later, but Ashley Donnelly happened to be free and met with me right away. Twenty minutes later, all my boxes had been checked. She was very knowledgeable on all of the issues and also a wiz at their computer system. I very much recommend the Solvang State Farm office. This is the first review from late 2023: I was looking for a supplemental Medicare policy having applied for Medicare in Feb 2023 (my 65th birth month). My case was a bit complicated because I would miss the initial open enrollment period (for supplemental policies) due to being out of the country. I met with Julia Tipolt when I was in country around December 2022 about how things would work. She spent a lot of time with me explaining the coverage options and how the timing would work, so I pretty much had all the ducks in a row for when I would be back in the country in Aug 2023. I spoke with Lisa Rudnicki by phone around May 2023 just to confirm plans. All was good. Then in Aug 2023, I met with Lisa in person to get the deal done. We filled out the forms, got the banking details settled, and I walked out 30 minutes later with a supplemental policy. We also talked about a replacement supplemental Medicare plan for my mother, whose supplemental coverage inherited from my father's pension was going to be cancelled by the pension plan come December 2023. Again Lisa was able to assure me that when the day came, we would just need to come in and sign up for a new State Farm plan. Easy and no loss of coverage. A load off my mind. This is a very well run group who gives very personalized service - small town service - which is rare these days."

"Definitely a five-star establishment. Thomas Woodard help me navigate the surprisingly complex pathways to reducing my premiums. I've been with these guys since I moved up here in 2005, and I highly recommend them. Courteous, professional, dog friendly, and they have good coffee!"
