About Brenda Bechtel
As lifelong residents of Berks County, we are focused on customer service and finding the gaps in their current insurance policies to help prevent future hardships --whether that's auto, home, renters, business insurance, or life insurance.
We realize that price is important, but it is only part of why customers chose our agency. We do not use the traditional "pressure to buy" sales approach. Instead, we strive to educate each person so they can make better decisions for their own situation and budget. Finding those "gaps" in an existing insurance policy is our specialty. Farmers have trained us carefully to look for anything that might cause a financial loss in the future. Do we ask a lot of questions? Yes. The more we know about your lifestyle and current insurance needs, the better we are able to recommend the proper coverage. Insurance is too important to rush through or fit into a small time slot. Our hours are flexible to accommodate our client's free time. Whether you are buying a home for the first time, shopping for a new car, starting up a new business, or protecting your loved ones with life insurance, we will walk you through the process and point out your options.Our family has been in business for over 90 years with Rentschler's Auto Center, so we understand how to treat our customers with respect and appreciation.

If you rent, your landlord is responsible for the building. But how do you protect the things that make it your home? In case of a fire, storm damage, or burglary, your landlord’s insurance probably doesn’t cover your belongings. That’s up to you. What would it really cost to transform empty rooms back into your home? Whether you rent an apartment or a single-family house, let’s talk about insuring what matters to you.

No two companies are exactly alike. That’s why you can build a customized Farmers business insurance policy with options that provide coverage for your specific needs and challenges. Call me today to learn more. As a restaurant owner, you may want to consider Employment Practices Liability Insurance (or EPLI for short). Farmers can provide coverage within 8 hours of a claim.

If you're a restaurant owner, we're ready to address your Business Insurance needs!
