Office Hours

Welcome to the Austin Tollefson State Farm Agent office in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin! Since opening my agency in 2016, my team and I have helped individuals, families, and business owners throughout Chippewa County and the surrounding Chippewa Valley understand their insurance options as their lives and needs change.

As a Chippewa Falls area native, University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point graduate, and retired United States Marine, I bring a combination of local knowledge, professional experience, and military service to my work. With more than 16 years of insurance experience and a team bringing 32 years of combined experience, we enjoy getting to know the people and communities we serve. Our agency is also newly accredited by the Better Business Bureau (BBB), adding another credential to our professional background.

From our Chippewa Falls office, we work with customers throughout Eau Claire, Lake Hallie, Bloomer, Altoona, Cadott, Cornell, Menomonie, Thorp, and neighboring western Wisconsin communities.

Whether you are purchasing a vehicle, settling into a home, growing your family, operating a business, or preparing for another Wisconsin outdoor season, we are here to answer questions and explain available insurance options.

🤝 From Marine Corps Service to Chippewa Falls: Meet Austin Tollefson

Chippewa Falls and the surrounding area have been part of my life since childhood. I grew up in the area and later graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point with a Bachelor of Science degree.

Before becoming a State Farm Agent, I served in the United States Marine Corps. My military background remains an important part of who I am and influences the dedication, attention to detail, and sense of responsibility I bring to my work today.

I opened my State Farm agency in Chippewa Falls in 2016. Over the years, I have enjoyed building relationships with individuals, families, and business owners throughout the Chippewa Valley and helping them navigate questions as their circumstances change.

Family is a big part of my life outside the office. My wife, Kelsey, and I are raising our two sons, Elijah and Daniel. We enjoy fishing, hunting, traveling, following Wisconsin sports, and spending time outdoors together.

Those interests give me a personal appreciation for the different ways people enjoy life in central Wisconsin, from weekends on the water to time in the woods and family trips around the state.

At our Chippewa Falls office, we want insurance conversations to feel comfortable and useful. Whether someone is contacting us for the first time or returning with questions about existing coverage, my team and I begin by listening and learning what matters to them.

🛡️ Insurance and Financial Services for Chippewa Falls and the Chippewa Valley

Life around Chippewa Falls can include commutes into Eau Claire, homeownership, growing families, small businesses, changing financial priorities, and plenty of outdoor recreation. Our team helps customers understand available options for the different responsibilities, properties, vehicles, and activities that are part of their lives.

🏡 Personal and Family Insurance

🚗 Auto Insurance
For personal vehicles used for daily drives around Chippewa Falls, commutes toward Eau Claire, family transportation, newly licensed drivers, and longer Wisconsin road trips. Changes in who drives your vehicles, how they are used, or where your routine takes you can introduce different coverage considerations.
🏡 Home Insurance
A home can change considerably over time. Renovations, roof replacements, finished living spaces, detached structures, or significant property improvements can provide useful context when reviewing coverage for your house and belongings.
🏠 Renters Insurance
Renting a home or apartment brings responsibilities that differ from homeownership. Whether you are moving into your first rental, changing roommates, or furnishing a new place, Renters Insurance can address belongings and other eligible needs that may not be covered by your landlord's insurance.
🏢 Condo Insurance
Condo owners have individual insurance considerations alongside the coverage maintained by their condominium association. Understanding how those responsibilities differ can help clarify questions involving your unit, interior improvements, personal belongings, and liability.
❤️ Life Insurance
Marriage, welcoming children, homeownership, career changes, and new family responsibilities can change the financial commitments you carry. We begin with the people who depend on you and what you want to understand before discussing available Life Insurance choices.
💼 Financial Services
Financial priorities can evolve as careers develop, families grow, businesses change, and retirement approaches. We can discuss available Financial Services based on your circumstances, longer-term priorities, and the questions you want answered.

💼 Business Insurance

🏢 Business Insurance
Chippewa Falls and the surrounding Chippewa Valley are home to businesses with different operations, property, equipment, and everyday responsibilities. Opening a company, changing locations, purchasing equipment, or expanding services can introduce new insurance considerations as a business develops.
🚚 Commercial Auto Insurance
Work trucks, company cars, service vans, and other eligible vehicles used for business purposes have different considerations than personal transportation. Whether your business relies on one vehicle or several, we can discuss available coverage based on how those vehicles support your operations.

🌲 Wisconsin Recreational Insurance

❄️ Snowmobile Insurance
Winter in the Chippewa Valley brings opportunities to explore Wisconsin's snowmobile trail network. Whether you are preparing a sled for another riding season, purchasing your first snowmobile, adding another rider, or changing where you ride, our team can discuss available coverage before your next winter outing.
🚤 Boat Insurance
From fishing outings to family afternoons on Lake Wissota and other western Wisconsin waterways, boating brings its own insurance considerations. The type of watercraft you own, its equipment, and how you use it can help shape the conversation.
🏍️ Motorcycle Insurance
Scenic roads throughout Chippewa County and western Wisconsin offer plenty of opportunities to ride. Motorcycle Insurance conversations can reflect the bike you own, your riding habits, and whether you use it for everyday transportation or recreational trips.
🚐 RV Insurance
Campers and motorhomes can serve as transportation, temporary living spaces, and the centerpiece of a family getaway. Whether you enjoy Wisconsin campgrounds or longer trips beyond the state, we can explore coverage based on how your RV fits into your travels.
🛻 ATV and UTV Insurance
ATVs and UTVs may be used for trail riding, outdoor recreation, or work around rural property. Different vehicle types and uses can create insurance considerations that are distinct from those involving everyday personal transportation.

From vehicles and homes to businesses, financial priorities, and outdoor recreation, our Chippewa Falls team is here to help make available options easier to understand.

❤️ Life Insurance for the People and Responsibilities That Matter

Life Insurance often becomes part of the conversation when someone begins thinking more closely about the people who depend on them. A growing family, new home, career change, or additional financial responsibility can bring questions that were not part of the picture a few years earlier.

At our Chippewa Falls office, we help individuals and families throughout the Chippewa Valley explore Life Insurance based on their current circumstances.

When should you revisit Life Insurance? Getting married, welcoming or adopting a child, purchasing a home, changing careers, caring for a loved one, or taking on additional household responsibilities can create new considerations. Changes in income, debt, or family priorities may also lead to questions about existing coverage.

What if you are exploring Life Insurance for the first time? You do not need to know which option you want before reaching out. We can begin with your household, the people who depend on you, your current financial responsibilities, and the questions you want answered.

For business owners, Life Insurance may also be relevant to conversations involving key individuals, ownership interests, business debt, or other financial obligations if an owner or another person important to the operation dies. The role of coverage depends on the business and its ownership structure.

Whether you are establishing roots in Chippewa Falls, raising a family in Lake Hallie, or entering a new chapter elsewhere in the Chippewa Valley, our team welcomes the opportunity to discuss your Life Insurance questions.

💼 From Family Responsibilities to Future Priorities: Financial Services in Chippewa Falls

A conversation about Life Insurance often begins with the people who depend on you and the responsibilities you carry today. As those conversations develop, questions about longer-term financial priorities may naturally come up, too.

At our Chippewa Falls office, my team and I help individuals and families explore available Financial Services as their careers, households, income, and goals evolve. Whether you are thinking about retirement, navigating a financial milestone, or simply looking to better understand your options, we can start with what matters to you and the questions you want answered.

From Chippewa Falls and Lake Hallie to Eau Claire, Bloomer, and surrounding Chippewa Valley communities, we welcome the opportunity to discuss available Financial Services as your circumstances and priorities change.

🔥 Before Wisconsin Winter Settles In: Fire Prevention Month in Chippewa Falls

October is National Fire Prevention Month, bringing attention to household fire safety as cooler temperatures settle across Chippewa Falls and western Wisconsin.

As furnaces, fireplaces, and other heating equipment return to regular use, consider testing smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, reviewing household escape routes, checking fire extinguishers, and arranging appropriate heating system maintenance.

Fall is also a practical time to clear leaves and debris from gutters, check exterior lighting and walkways, disconnect outdoor hoses, and prepare seasonal equipment for storage.

Changes around your property deserve attention as well. A remodeled room, new roof, finished basement, deck, shed, or other significant improvement can provide useful context when revisiting Home Insurance.

Fire safety matters whether you own, rent, or live in a condo. A recent move, newly furnished apartment, or significant purchase may bring new Renters Insurance questions. Condo owners may also want to understand how their individual Condo Insurance relates to coverage maintained by their association, particularly after improvements to the unit.

From Chippewa Falls and Lake Hallie to households throughout Chippewa County and the greater Chippewa Valley, Fire Prevention Month offers a useful opportunity to focus on home safety and consider what has changed before colder Wisconsin weather arrives.

❄️ From Lake Wissota to Wisconsin Trails: Recreation Through the Seasons

Outdoor recreation is part of what makes life in the Chippewa Valley distinctive. Around Chippewa Falls, warmer months may mean boating, camping, and riding, while winter brings snowmobiling and other cold-weather activities.

For snowmobile owners, preparing for the season involves more than waiting for snowfall. Checking your sled's lights, brakes, track, skis, and other equipment, confirming registration, and reviewing current trail conditions are all important before riding.

A new sled, additional rider, or change in how you use your snowmobile can also bring new Snowmobile Insurance questions.

When warmer weather returns, other recreational vehicles take center stage. Boat owners may be preparing for another season on Lake Wissota, motorcycle riders may be planning trips through western Wisconsin, and RV owners may be getting ready for campground weekends. ATV and UTV owners have different considerations depending on their vehicles and activities.

Our team can answer questions about these recreational insurance options throughout the year, whether you recently purchased a vehicle or want to revisit coverage already in place.
