I have recently changed our business to you from a national company who's customer service was not good. I chose you because you were local and all my dealings with you have been professional and efficient - you have responded to us quickly and provided all the information we need without having to chase it.
We can’t praise your company enough. We get through with no problem and your response is great.
Your service is first rate and, having endured years of sub-standard expensive service from a competitor, it is a relief and a pleasure to deal with you.
We changed to [your] company approximately 3 years ago and are very pleased with the service. Your service engineer has good manners and got to the fault straight away.
We have site visits twice a year, which are arranged through the office efficiently. Providing us with good continuous, no hassle, service.
The Engineer who has come out to us is excellent, very prompt, explains everything and is very friendly.
[You have] competent and well informed engineers who share their approach to the problem and are proud to relate the working standards that they adhere to.
The engineer who visited worked really hard and was determined to find the faults.
Your engineer put right a fault which 3 engineers and 1 technician [from another lift company] failed to achieve. I found his diligence to the job refreshing and helpful.
Your engineer is very pleasant and always explains what has been carried out. A pleasure to have around.
…really glad we moved to you to look after our lift. The service is already a 100% improvement on the last people we used!! Thanks again for the great service we have received so far.
Your engineers do a wonderfully thorough job, and the six services a year give me a secure feeling about the reliability of the lift.
The engineer that carries out our services is very polite and efficient.
Communication is excellent, I’m always aware of when an engineer will be attending.
Response time is always quick from our local engineer.
