About Woodward Agency — California SR-22 Specialists
Woodward Agency is a licensed, independent California insurance agency that specializes in SR-22 filings and high-risk auto coverage. We help drivers across the state get the certificate they need, file it fast with the DMV, and get their lives moving again — without the judgment, confusion, or runaround people usually expect. We're licensed by the California Department of Insurance (License #6013015), we compare multiple carriers to find you the best rate, and we stay with you through the entire SR-22 period and beyond. If you've just been told you need an SR-22, you've found people who do this every single day.
TL;DR: We're a licensed California independent agency (CA License #6013015) focused on SR-22. We shop carriers for your best price, file the SR-22 quickly — often the same day — and help you keep it active. We are an insurance agency, not the DMV. Call (657) 600-0955.
Who we are
Woodward Agency was built around a simple idea: getting an SR-22 shouldn't feel like a punishment on top of a punishment. As an independent agency, we're not tied to any single insurance company. That means when you come to us, we can compare high-risk carriers and match you to the one offering the lowest rate for your situation — instead of selling you whatever one company happens to charge.
Most of the people we help are drivers who are stressed, embarrassed, or overwhelmed after a DUI, a suspension, or a lapse in coverage. Our job is to take that weight off your shoulders. We explain what an SR-22 actually is (a filing, not a policy), tell you exactly what California requires, and handle the paperwork with the DMV for you.
Our team brings more than two decades of hands-on experience with California SR-22 filings and high-risk auto insurance. That's twenty-plus years spent learning exactly how carriers rate these policies, how the DMV's filing and reinstatement process actually works, and — just as important — where drivers quietly overpay. It's the reason we can so often find a lower rate than a driver would get calling a single company on their own, and why we can tell you what California really requires instead of guessing.
Our approach
Three things guide how we work:
- File fast. Every day your license sits suspended is a day of missed work, missed appointments, and stress. We file your SR-22 electronically with the California DMV — in most cases the same day your policy is bound — so you can reinstate as quickly as possible.
- Shop every carrier. SR-22 rates vary widely between insurers, and the "high-risk" label some carriers slap on you can cost you hundreds. Because we're independent, we compare options to find genuinely affordable SR-22 coverage in California.
- No judgment, ever. Everyone makes mistakes. You will never get a lecture from us. You'll get a specialist who treats you with respect and gets you back on the road.
Why drivers trust us (E-E-A-T)
For an insurance decision, who you're dealing with matters. Here's why California drivers rely on Woodward Agency:
- Licensed and accountable. We hold CA Department of Insurance License #6013015. You can verify our license, and we operate under California's consumer-protection rules.
- Specialists, not generalists. SR-22 and high-risk auto is our focus. We know the 3-year continuous filing rule, the DMV reinstatement process, and how carriers treat everything from a first DUI to a non-owner situation.
- Independent and transparent. We represent you, not one carrier. Clear quotes, honest guidance, no hidden fees.
Our commitment — through the SR-22 period and beyond
Getting the filing done is only the start. California typically requires you to keep an SR-22 active and continuous for three years, and a single lapse can trigger an SR-26 cancellation notice and re-suspend your license — sometimes restarting the clock. We take that seriously.
Throughout your filing period we help you keep your policy active so it never lapses by accident. And when your SR-22 obligation ends, we don't disappear — we help you transition to standard coverage at a better rate, because by then you're no longer a "high-risk" driver in the eyes of many carriers. Our goal isn't just to file a form; it's to be your insurance agency for the long run.
