I'm so happy to write this five-star review for Anthony Byers…read more I've been wanting to improve the lighting and other security features of our Oakland home for some time and finally realized, I need some help to get it right! Anthony came by and went through our entire house, inside and out, looking for "soft spots" and recommending ways to harden our home to would-be criminals. Anthony isn't selling anything, and his rate is very reasonable. He cares about your budget and knows ways to get the job done without shelling out a lot of money. He is clearly an expert, with many anecdotes to share and lots of ideas. He's also a super nice guy! We've already started implementing his suggestions and are excited to reinforce our peace of mind. Don't be scared! Be prepared! (I just made that up. :-) )

I have been a AAA roadside service member for 12 years. I've received good service over the years…read morehowever today I was totally scammed about their battery warranty and can no longer recommend them. I had to get my car towed by AAA Friday because my car wouldn't start. My mechanic updated me Friday afternoon that the battery was dead and they were charging it. Then today, Monday he told me the battery was bad and could not hold a charge. I called AAA and asked if it was still under warranty- they said yes, ordered a driver and told me I needed to be at the mechanic to receive service. I confirmed they could do the service at the mechanic's and they said yes. I waited 2 hours and multiple phone calls to customer service for someone to show up. When the driver named Jope finally arrived, he asked me how often I drive. I said "every day." He then asked to see my mechanics work- my mechanic showed him their testing device and explained the battery won't hold a charge. The AAA provider then mumbled that if I don't drive enough... I interrupted him and told him the facts again: "I DRIVE THIS CAR EVERYDAY." He then said he has to jump it. My mechanic informed him he and AAA have to assume all responsibility for anything that may happen should he jump it in his shop. If the AAA service member is so certain that jumping it is a valid idea after my mechanic already ran and showed him these tests, then why did the service member step out of the shop to call AAA? He then told me he couldn't provide service inside the shop even though AAA told me earlier on the phone that as long as I was there, he could. I reminded him I was told on the phone my battery is protected under warranty and I was told on the phone I would be given a battery replacement. He said he had to jump it first. I asked him if he could jump it on the street he said yes but that he couldn't help roll my car out on the street. I then went inside to ask my mechanic if he and his shop would move the car to the street. While we were discussing this, the AAA service member must have driven off as when I stepped back outside to confirm we could roll it out, he was gone. Literally nowhere to be seen on the block or area. When I called AAA to file a compliant, they offered to send another driver. But why would I agree to that? So I could wait another 2 hours to be blamed for a battery that no longer works after 3 years by the next service person suggesting it died because I don't drive as much as I say I do??? Uh, no thanks. So not only did AAA give me false information on the phone, the service member refused to replace the battery, tried to gaslight me into thinking the battery didn't work because I don't drive enough (you can check the mileage I drive every single day!!) and then disappeared on the job without saying why, without coming into the shop to ask if/how I wanted to proceed. He literally vanished. This is the worst service I have ever received. I have lost complete respect and trust in AAA after being a loyal customer for well over a decade and will be looking for a replacement as I continue to share what happened to me on as many review sites as I can. STAY AWAY FROM THEIR BATTERY SERVICE. ABSOLUTE SCAMMERS WHO TEACH THEIR SERVICE PROVIDERS TO MAKE FALSE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST DRIVERS, WHO DON'T HAVE FAITH IN THE SAFETY OF THEIR OWN PROTOCOL, AND WHO VANISH MID SERVICE.

In those…read more11+ years I have gone back to school to get my degree, changed careers, gotten laid off twice (once during 2020), found work again in less than two months, and always found something higher-paying and with a better commute every time, as if the layoffs were a hidden gift. I have also nearly tripled my salary since I first saw Amanda and am much more satisfied with my line of work. I am also grateful to have found a new job in my field with a company that is hiring since I'm in a field in which the layoffs are higher right now. If I had never been a client of hers, I expect that I would be still be in a job that I didn't care about, making about half of what I make now, and working it only for the paycheck.
