Great mantainance experience i have had so far. Called in for an issue with my refrigerator not being cool enough and within a couple minutes maybe 30-40, Jason and his teammate came in and took a look at it. Guaranteed to call me with all the necessary updates and he sure did. In two days he had me a new refrigerator delivered and working. He was super kind, nice and timely. Couldn't be more thankful for all he did. Thanks Jason, and your teammate that came through for my refrigerator issue. And please keep up the good services/work. You guys were awesome đź’Ż. Lilian.
