"Last month I moved from Tennessee to New York and I needed insurance for both my home and car. Nick Shala is the agent who helped me get both of these policies in place. Moving is stressful, but Nick made this part of the move easy and stress-free. He was/is professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. Nick is an excellent communicator and was very patient with all my questions. Our conversations were never rushed and were actually pleasant and personable because he also has a great sense of humor. I am grateful for all of Nick's help and I feel very secure with the insurance policies I have for my car and home here in New York."
"Hey, Linda. Wow! Thank you for such a heartfelt and detailed review! Moving from Tennessee to New York is no small feat, and we’re so glad Nick could turn the insurance part of that journey into a smooth, even enjoyable experience. Nick takes pride in being not just knowledgeable but also approachable and patient, so it’s fantastic to hear that came through in your conversations. Your sense of security with your new policies means the world to us, and we’re grateful you chose us to be part of this new chapter. If you ever need anything or just want to share a laugh, Nick and the whole team are here for you! Warmest wishes for your new adventure, and thank you again for choosing Brent T. Mentro State Farm!"

"We worked with Nick on adding our teenaged son as a new driver and Nick was super helpful with searching for and getting us all possible discounts to make insuring all of us at a reasonable price a reality. After hearing all these horror stories about adding your teenaged son to your auto insurance, Nick helped us navigate everything smoothly. He was very responsive each time we called or emailed. Nick was very good about letting us know what to expect and followed up with us to make sure everything was going well. Thanks, Nick and State Farm!"

"I met Brent when I became a member of the wonderful Goshen Chamber of Commerce when I opened my shop. His support of my businesses was very much appreciated and I couldn't wait to see his beautiful, new space in Goshen and get a couple of quotes on my auto and renters insurance policies to see how they'd compare with what I have. The vibe in the office was amazing - welcoming and professional and my meeting with Brent couldn't have gone better. He saved me about $1000 a year for even better coverage than I had and I happily signed on the dotted line. Honest, knowledgeable, funny and a real pro. Do yourself a favor and get to State Farm in Goshen!"
"Hey, Keith! Thank you so very much for the amazing review! It my absolute pleasure to help out and I'm so glad we were able to get you the proper coverage at an even better rate. I really appreciate the kind words, support, and recommendation - and I can't wait to attend another one of your events. Murder Mystery Manhattan puts on a great show and I'm glad to have you with us AND the Goshen Chamber. Thank you again and welcome to Brent T. Mentro State Farm!"

"I work with Nick he was very patient and not pushy he really drilled down a few different senarios and options for different types of insurance for home and auto. He made sure I was aware of all programs that would help lower cost, such as the safe driver app and the defensive driving that I already had. Also he/we did compare my previous homeowners policy to make sure my coverage made since. Great Job to Nick keep up the good work😊"
