For questions about your Business Insurance Policy, Grace Buencamino with George L Brown Insurance Agency can be reached at (909) 973-8233 or GBuencamino@georgebrowninsurance.com.

BY MICHAEL ARMIJO

Inland Empire – When Daniel started his carpet cleaning business six years ago, he had to get insurance. So he did, and he faithfully paid his premiums every month. Unfortunately, Daniel’s business was burglarized, but he had no need to worry; he was fully covered and he had never missed a payment in nearly six years. Then Daniel found out some very disturbing news.
Daniel’s insurance company gladly filed his claim. The reports were all in order and the estimate of $16,839 was right in line with specifications. But Daniel only received a check for $3,000. He had no idea his policy coverage for theft or fire had a limit of $3,500, with a $500 deductible.

“It’s common for a business, especially a small business, to be under-insured,” said Grace Buencamino, a longtime broker at George L. Brown Insurance. “You need a proactive agent who will periodically go over your coverage with you to ensure your business is adequately covered.”

Buencamino also points out that it’s not always the client’s fault for not knowing their policy limits.

“Sometimes a business will outgrow their coverage,” she says. “I’ve seen businesses who thought they had adequate coverage. The business owner didn’t realize that after five years, the company had acquired more equipment, increasing their Business Property from $3,000 to $20,000. To avoid my clients being under-insured, I do an annual review of their policy. Changes in Business Property can be discovered during this review and the policy limits can be changed at very little cost.”

Buencamino also said that by working closely with the business owner, she can get a better understanding of their needs and work with them to limit their exposures. She encourages clients to contact her if they make any changes to their business that may affect their current coverage.

One advantage of consulting with a broker, they can find the best priced insurance to meet your needs, whether they are “rate driven” or “coverage driven”. A broker can shop multiple carriers and bring you the options you deserve.

Is Your Dryer “Fire-Safe”?

Fifteen years experience providing heating, ventilation and AC services that keep your home comfortable and safe. (Photo Courtesy: Angiel Air)

Most of us don’t give much thought about our dryers unless they are broken. However, a poorly maintained dryer could be a potential fire hazard. According to a report, “Clothes Dryer Fires in Residential Buildings,” that was issued by FEMA’s U.S. Fire Administration in 2010, the failure to clean dryer vents is the leading factor contributing to the ignition of clothes dryer fires in residential buildings. Dust, fiber, and lint are, by far, the leading items first ignited in clothes dryer fires. Most of the lint that is created from clothes tumbling in the dryer is caught in the filter but it also accumulates in the dryer and in the vents. Lint is a very combustible material and as it builds up it can overheat and a possible fire can ensue.Angiel Air is a heating, ventilation and air conditioning service that is located in Eastvale at 12672 Limonite Ave, Suite 3E-199. Of their many services, Angiel Air offers dryer vent cleaning. They have over 15 years experience in heating and cooling, and all of their technicians are professionally trained to provide their customers with the highest level of service.

The Church’s sense of family and passion carry over into their different avenues of ministry, including but not limited to, their performing arts group. . “Our purpose is to use the avenue of music and drama as a ministry that will introduce people to Jesus, generate a closer spiritual walk with him and encourage fellowship and service with other Believers,” states the Director of Performing Arts and King’s Kids, Yvonne Read. Read went on to say that: “Directing a production, even a small one, takes a vast amount of physical and mental energy. However, when it is performed as a ministry and with a purpose, all of the work is worth your while. You can see the difference in the lives of people who receive the message, whether it’s through music or drama.”

FBCWV invites you to join them in experiencing a 30 minute self-guided presentation of “The Journey” on Good Friday, April 18th, from 6:00-9:00pm. “The Journey” is a live interactive production encouraging us to remember the incredible sacrifice Jesus made for each of us on Calvary.

Family Tradition Means Insurance Expertise

Chino Hills – Most little girls say they want to be a doctor, lawyer, school teacher or a princess while growing up, but Grace Buencamino wanted to be like her daddy, an insurance producer.

“It wasn’t that I was exposed to someone who just pushed paper or punched a clock, my father helped people with important needs and helped business owners stay protected during tough times,” said Grace, who watched her father do such things for over 30 years.

“Insurance runs in our family. I grew up learning the industry and spent all of my high school summers working with him,” she said. “It was a great time in my life. As I grew, I learned to help others, to be knowledgeable in an effort to help those in need.”

She’s not just filled with summers of insurance experience; Grace has over ten years of Human Resources experience and ten years of Property Management experience. She’s also worked with employers on strategies to minimize on-the-job injuries. This has given her firsthand knowledge of the importance of proper workers compensation and harassment/wrongful termination (EPLI) coverage.

Knowledge in the property management field has helped her address the concerns of risks and exposures that business and property owners can have. Her California Department of Insurance Resident Insurance Producer License for Property and Casualty allows Grace to legally and thoroughly provide expertise and experience.

“Every business is unique and policies should not be “One Size Fits All”. I believe a company needs to be evaluated and exposures assessed before presenting the best possible, most cost-effective solution for your business,” Grace said. She prides herself on knowing which policy covers you for your specific needs, as some agents aren’t sure and you end up with coverage that’s costly and unnecessary.

But her main goal is to assist others in need. “I enjoy helping others. Insurance allows me to do this. I work with business owners to manage their risks and exposures, giving them the peace of mind that their business is protected.”

Grace’s “off-field” activities prove her commitment to service above self. “I am here to serve the community. I am a member of Christian Business Partners, have volunteered at several schools in the Chino Valley Unified School District, volunteer with the Chino Hills Community Foundation, and a Woman’s Care Center in Chino.”

Besides helping those in need and continuing her father’s legacy in a “Service First” industry by offering affordable coverage, even free evaluations, Grace says, “Our agency offers complementary policy evaluations. We have established relationships with some of the nation’s largest and finest carriers as preferred agents.” Preferred Agents have benefited their clients with specialized programs and competitive pricing. “Please feel free to contact me directly at (909) 973-8233 if you would like an evaluation of your current coverage and premium,” she adds.

Although the company was established in 1941 and is now located in Orange County, Grace has worked in the Inland Empire and San Gabriel Valley for years. “I am your local agent and I’ve lived in Chino Hills since 1997. Clients can always expect personalized, professional service from me and everyone at our agency.”

Established in 1941, George L Brown Insurance Agency continues to work with small to medium sized businesses, and manage their risks by providing comprehensive business packages, general and professional liability, property coverage, workers compensation, bonds, E&O, D&O, EPLI and commercial auto coverage.

George L. Brown Insurance Agency is located at 1005 Calle Recodo, San Clemente, CA 92673. Grace Buencamino can be reached at (909) 973-8233 (Direct); (949) 361-1400 (Office); or by email: gbuencamino@georgebrowninsurance.com; License #OH30972.

BY GUS UGALDE

Eastvale – For nearly 25 years, MountainView Tire has provided Southern California residents top quality tires and auto service by never forgetting to put the customer first.

With a store located in Eastvale, the family-owned, independent Goodyear dealer brings its considerable tire and auto service expertise to our city.

“We opened our first store in Duarte in 1987, and now have 30 locations in Southern California,” said Chris Mitsos, Vice President and part owner of the company.

MountainView Tire and Service Inc., is more than just a tire store, according to Mitsos.

“We are not just a tire dealer, we are an auto repair facility as well,” said Mitsos in an interview last year. “Half of our revenue is derived from tires, the other half from auto service.”

“Our customers are treated with respect and get an honest assessment of their automotive needs. We try to demystify the auto service experience,” added Mitsos.

Mitsos wants his Eastvale shop to be a one-stop shop for his clients by providing complete auto service for just about anyone who owns a car.

MountainView Tire provides computerized engine analysis, cooling system maintenance, brakes, tires, heating and air conditioning service, along with battery, oil lube and filter services.

“About the only things we don’t do is body work and smog checks,” said Mitsos.

“This is a family-run business. My brother and I work from 7 in the morning to 6 at night…and our focus has always been our customers” said Mitsos.

“My brother and I handle all complaints personally,” said Mitsos. “Fortunately, there aren’t many.”

Mitsos has a great passion for two things, servicing autos and keeping his customers happy and his business philosophy clearly points this out.

“We want to give our customers the ‘wow’ experience,” said Mitsos. “We want our customers to say ‘wow’ when they drive away from our shop.”
