I strongly don’t recommend..!!!
I strongly advise against contacting this “insurance company ..”! On July 2, 2025, I signed an insurance contract with them for a new Honda CR-V car, for which I paid $560 at once ..! Two weeks later, I returned this car to the Honda salon in Rosville because, as it turned out, the bank did not approve this loan for me, I did not agree to the new proposed conditions, returned the car to the salon. After that, I tried to cancel the insurance policy with Primos, on July 19 I sent them an e-mail with a request to cancel the policy, on July 20 I sent a text message to the agent with a request to cancel the policy, but there was no reaction, on July 29 I signed a letter sent to me by this insurance company and thought that finally the insurance was canceled, but on August 4 the insurance company debited another $ 274.59 from my credit card 🤬, why was I was furious, the agent said that they would figure it out, but still nothing is decided, why am I’m furious 😡 Ruslan Agibalov, policy APR0000212981 dated July 2, 2025

Dennis the Menace
Arrogant and terrible customer service from a Dennis Guld. He could not be bothered to help on a claim, had to call multiple times to get a call back, and was met with nothing but attitude as if he could not be bothered.

Horrible experience with this company
Horrible experience with this company. Two days after filing accident claim they told me they didn’t even talk with another party and no definite answer when their claim investigation will be complete. Their claim email box is not working and bounces back. The claim adjuster Shakira Brooks was supposed to contact me but never did, her phone would not answer and when finally she picked up she was very rude.

Deceitful customer service.
Deceitful customer service
Following my husband’s accident, Mr. Frank Cseke contacted him using a supportive, comforting approach. During the call he informed him that “he would be compensated” “for medical” and “other damages.” This was in August 2022 after he and my daughter were hit by a speeding driver. I got all the pictures and reports together. We emailed everything to him and did not hear back. We thought maybe COVID was impacting the office so we allowed 30+ days for asking for updates. Mr. Cseke’s responses range from nothing, to no updates, asking for information we already provided, and at one point he emailed my husband asking for new witness statements because he didn’t agree with the police report and statements provided 6+ months prior. My husband is a retired, disabled Marine veteran with 20+ years of service and 28+ years of combined federal service. Mr. Cseke is treating my husband and daughter as if they are insignificant, and their injuries and trauma don’t matter. We have asked for management/supervisor information and left several voicemail messages with no response. It’s really sad that even when he’s done nothing wrong, he’s the one with medical and ambulance bills, along with the residual impact
It’s July 2023, next month will be a year since my family experienced the accident and we are still getting no answers from anchor general.
Yes. Will will be re-sending this information when we get back home from vacation. We did provide it in the first few weeks of interactions with Mr. Cseke. If your organization is proposing $1500 compensation for a year of anxiety, stress, trauma associated with this preventable incident, we will also be working with a VA appointed legal representative for reasonable compensation.

0 stars intended
0 stars intended, 1 star so I can write my experience about these people and also to warn everyone of how HORRIBLE their customer service is. Please hope you don’t get hit by one of their drivers because you won’t receive any calls back. They will avoid all your calls and messages and send you a denial letter and not tell you why! my claim was assigned to a female named Araceli and she was horrible, no calls answered no messages return. spoke to the supervisor but he does not care about the situation.

Worst customer service ever!
Their insured driver crossed over onto my lane and hit me due to her negligence. A couple of days after the accident an adjuster was sent to assess the damages to my car and look at the evidence of the accident. The adjuster determined that the other party was at fault. He initiated the process to have my vehicle fixed HOWEVER a couple of days before the body shop was going to start working on my car FRANK CSEKE emailed me and the body shop and said that because the insured driver stated they weren’t at fault, he would be taking the drivers word and not move forward in favor of me (the claimant), even though the adjuster (who actually looked at my car and the evidence) agreed that I was NOT at fault and the other driver was. I cannot believe that a simple “it wasn’t me” was enough for Frank to make a decision. He hadn’t even received my written statement or talked to ME on the phone or even looked at this case properly. This is unacceptable and unbelievable! I told Frank that I want his supervisor to contact me or someone higher up that can take over my case and take care of this situation. I have yet to hear back from him or anyone from Anchor General.

Nightmare of a Company!!
Nightmare of a company!!! If I could give a negative star review I would. I was recently involved in a car accident and even thought I am not insured with Anchor General the car that hit me was. After the person that hit me gave me their insurance information, I called Anchor General and after waiting on the line for more than 2 hours I was given the information for 3 different adjusters but not one called me back! I had to continuously keep calling them because my car was damaged in the accident. I called several times and left voicemails and they failed to return any of my calls. Finally I spoke to someone at Anchor General Insurance (not the adjuster) to give my declaration I was asked to send all the pictures of the accident. More than a month passed and I never heard back from them . After calling more times they finally answered (two months later) and told me that the adjuster had already made a decision and that I was 100% at fault, even though the car insured by them changed into my lane and hit me. I will be putting a complaint against Anchor General Insurance with the California Department of Insurance. Companies like this should not be able to do business!

I’ve been more than impatient and im done I’ve lost my patience and they’re about to loose me as a customer! Also i cant forget they never answer!!!!

Integrity Concerns Accountability Issues
I’m not happy with the service I am getting from this insurance company. I was side swiped by they’re insurer on May 4,2022 and have not heard from anyone in regards to my vehicle. Tom Samaras was suppose to contact me Monday 16,2022 today is Wednesday and I have not heard anything about a rental to get my damaged car in the shop to start working on it I cant afford out of pocket and reimburse rental. This is unacceptable. No one is doing their due diligence to assist me with this situation and this almost week 3 no claims adjuster called or no one to follow up. I need to know who is the supervisor over Dennis because he was no help at all. He begin to raise his voice when I asked about assuming liability and tried to state I was frustrated. I was respect and courteous but this is unacceptable service. I’ve sent emails. No response. I’m being represented however, it states in the LOR the insurance company is has the right to communicate with me about the property damage. No one wants to communicate with me. I don’t understand.

HORRIBLE COMPANY
I have never in my life experienced such horrible experience with a company. We waited for months to get the process going after our accident. Now after the claim was approved our car has been in the shop for 3 weeks and Anchor is not responding to anyone. We have a new baby and have stressed that we need a car and they are ignoring us. I am in shock and very upset by how poor this organization is.

How does this place on “trust” have a 4 and above rating, highly doubt they’re real reviews from actual clients. This insurance is a headache, they don’t answer! Those assigned to claims don’t care and will continue to dodge your call. Your client hit my car and you guys have been handling my claim poorly. Is this some sort of insurance fraud.

Our assessment after analyzing reviews
Below are the analyze and conclusion of us about above reviews
The first review, purportedly written by the website’s owner, is essentially a company description. This isn’t a customer review but rather a marketing statement. While not inherently negative, it lacks the impartiality expected of genuine customer feedback and should be viewed with skepticism when assessing the overall credibility. It serves to promote the company’s services and geographic reach, rather than providing insights into customer experiences.
The review by Ruslan Agibalov expresses extreme dissatisfaction. The core issue revolves around a car insurance policy cancellation following the return of a vehicle. The customer claims to have initiated the cancellation process promptly, providing evidence via email and text message. Despite these efforts, the insurance company allegedly continued to debit funds from his account. The lack of resolution and perceived lack of communication has left the customer feeling “furious.” This review indicates serious problems with customer service and billing practices.
Katie Mitchell’s review is a short but pointed critique of the customer service provided by an individual named Dennis Guld. The reviewer describes Guld as “arrogant” and unhelpful, indicating a negative interaction during a claim process. The complaint centers on difficulty reaching Guld, a lack of responsiveness, and an overall dismissive attitude. This paints a picture of poor customer service and a lack of empathy on the part of the representative.
ZDBL’s review highlights issues with the claims process. The reviewer claims the company failed to investigate their accident claim promptly and experienced difficulties contacting the claim adjuster, Shakira Brooks, who was reportedly rude. The reviewer states that the claim email box was also not working. This suggests systemic problems within the claims department, including poor communication and potentially inadequate investigation procedures.
Dr. Giovanda D Norman’s review details a deeply frustrating and lengthy experience following her husband’s car accident. The review accuses the company of “deceitful customer service,” specifically focusing on the actions of Mr. Frank Cseke. The reviewer claims that Cseke initially offered support and promises of compensation but then became unresponsive, repeatedly requesting information already provided, and ultimately offering a low settlement. The lack of communication and perceived disregard for the customer’s situation are significant concerns raised in this review.
The review from “customer” is a positive one, praising Araceli’s “informative and calm demeanor,” which reassured the customer about Anchor General’s commitment to protecting them and their vehicle. This is one of the few positive reviews, suggesting at least some positive interactions with individual employees.
Mariel Ivette Martinez Andres’s review expresses frustration with being repeatedly transferred between different adjusters and supervisors without receiving any resolution. The reviewer states that no one has answered their phone calls for a month, highlighting a significant breakdown in communication and responsiveness. The sentiment is clear: “DONT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS INSURANCE COMPANY.”
May Saelee gives a rating of 1 star (with an intended 0 stars), focusing on the company’s HORRIBLE customer service. The reviewer warns others about the lack of callbacks and the potential for denial letters without explanation. The reviewer names a specific employee, Araceli, as being particularly unresponsive, and claims that the supervisor showed no concern. This indicates a potential systemic issue with claim handling and customer communication.
Brandi Padilla’s review is extremely negative, stating the whole company is “no good.” The reviewer complains about the difficulty of reaching anyone by phone, stating that calls are immediately directed to voicemail. The reviewer cannot understand how such a company remains in business.
Diana’s review describes a situation where the company’s insured driver was at fault in an accident, but the insurance company initially agreed to fix Diana’s car and then reversed the decision based solely on the insured driver’s denial of fault, without properly investigating the situation. The reviewer emphasizes that the adjuster initially determined the other party was at fault. The lack of communication and perceived unfairness in the decision-making process are major issues raised in this review.
Isabel Padilla shares a story of being hit by an Anchor General insured driver, but facing extreme difficulty in getting the company to respond to her claim. She mentions waiting on the line for over two hours, being given information for multiple adjusters who never called back, and ultimately being told she was 100% at fault, even though the Anchor General insured driver caused the accident. This suggests a pattern of poor claim handling and a potential bias towards their own insured drivers.
Jose.Garcia’s review praises Pauline for being helpful, addressing his needs, and providing all the necessary information. The reviewer highlights her warm and helpful demeanor.
Jose Martines’ review is short and direct, accusing the insurance company of stealing people’s money and calling for their closure.
Catalina Cruz details a frustrating experience with a total loss car claim. She claims the insurance company took the car two months ago and she is still paying for it, without receiving the total loss payout. The reviewer highlights the lack of communication and unreturned calls, despite leaving voicemails with her case number.
Another review from “customer” praises Pauline for her helpfulness, niceness, and great customer service. She is credited with answering all the customer’s questions and making their day.
James C Juarez reports a positive experience, stating that an issue was handled quickly and professionally. He had no issues getting ahold of an agent and felt they understood and solved his problem.
NakiiNacole Wesley expresses strong dissatisfaction with the service received after being side-swiped by the company’s insurer. The reviewer mentions a lack of communication, failure to receive a rental car, and a rude and unhelpful supervisor named Dennis.
Heidi describes a “HORRIBLE” experience, citing months of waiting after an accident, followed by a lack of response from the company after the claim was approved, leaving them without a car despite having a new baby and stressing their need for transportation.
Blex _the savage’s review is short and blunt, stating that “This insurance sucks” because they don’t answer and are not responsive after hitting their truck despite full coverage.
Sky Avendano questions the high rating of the company and suggests the reviews might not be genuine. They describe the insurance as a “headache” due to lack of responsiveness and uncaring claim adjusters, insinuating potential insurance fraud.
The final review praises Pauline Holloway for explaining the insurance policy, answering questions, and fixing the name on the policy. The reviewer hopes to work with her again in the future.
Anchor General Insurance Agency, Inc. is likely a LEGIT company with SERIOUS customer service issues
