Rarely do companies actually follow through with a real service recovery process for issues that come up unexpectedly... along the way -- but this team really has done an incredible job in accepting the responsibility for an error and taking the necessary time and resources to assess the situation fully and then respond in a very appropriate manner. Mistakes absolutely happen in any industry, it's the people that then have to respond to them that make or break the relationship in any recovery process, and this team has absolutely proven how great they are at recovery and how true they are to their word to the customer. These are good people and they deserve the recognition they get for the good work they provide.read more

We had an unusual need: re-wire of an in home wheelchair elevator power cord. Reliable set us up for rapid assistance... since we are homebound without this elevator that allows us to go from a garage that is seven steps below the level of our home to our one floor house. There were no schematics left by the elevator company. Jamie stayed with the project, contacted the elevator company for install directions, and NEVER lost her composure. The job was done promptly, and we were able to exit our home comfortably. I thought the price was very fair for an emergency task.read more
