He was very clear not to over sell to me (even though I ended up going a bit overboard in the end on my own accord because I wanted to lol) but Joel was very clear that some of my stuff I didn't really need.

Vivint

I have never had such a all-around poor experience with a company. I started my service roughly 3…read moreyears ago. I was sold the product under the guise of the cost of equipment being included in the monthly service fee. Turns out that is not true, whatever equipment you need for your house is built into a separate loan with a external company. Which ultimately leads you to spending thousands of dollars on a cheap android tablet, a handful of average quality home cameras and a doorbell. The actual security service is incredibly slow. It takes far too long for any doorbell or video notification to come through for the notification to actually be useful, and in the few instances that my alarm actually did it go off for a legitimate reason it took far too long before I actually received a call from vivint, your house will be robbed and empty or engulfed in flames before Vivint takes action to help you. The real world timing of this service is just not actually useful. Finally, good luck canceling your service. You will have to play games of telephone confirming with your loan company that you have paid for your equipment. They will have to send documentation that your equipment is paid for to Vivint. You will have to pay a early cancellation fee. Mine was about $250. Once they get done trying to convince you to upgrade your service to their newest product/ move your system to a new home/ try and convince the new owners to pay for the remaining service, they will tell you that they are going to send an email from documents@vivint.com. That you will have to copy and paste and send back to documents@vivint.com. I unfortunately was able to get to this step having not paid the early cancellation fee and was charged for two extra months of service because there was no communication back from Vivint that there was a problem with my cancellation. Stay away from this company, they will turn you into an angry human.

I poked around on the internet and I mainly ended up with random companies that were not "local" then I found Next Step Communications...

My husband had some questions that I emailed them back and forth about. In no time it was evident that they were the ones that we wanted to install Starlink.

Not only did they bring their booties to wear in the house but they literally had everything they needed in their vehicle. Ive had several different installers that have came to my home over the years and it usually stresses me out because they make an absolute mess and they have zero respect for your clean home and nice things. BUT Next Step Communications did a great job on the installation of my new Starlink service! The service requested was definitely completed with 100% satisfaction! It was so pleasant to have this experience with the crew from Next Step Communications. They even had a little shop vac to clean up behind themselves. Drop cloths, ladders of every size, mounts and cords for the starlink to adjust to their needs for this particular project. I felt 100% comfortable the entire time they were here and they were a pleasure to work with. Thanks guys for doing a nice job and doing your job, very well that is!

When I asked when he would complete the work, he simply said I should be happy as he did me a favor that "nobody else would do", that it worked good enough and then demanded money. I asked to speak to his supervisor where he gave me the office number and then drove off with my physical keys and left the back of the car opened up with the battery exposed. We have now been stuck in a loophole of either a call center or speaking with the technician who keeps asking why we needed to mention his girlfriend who was sick and needed to come along and why we want to resolve the situation with somebody in the company other than him. I'm uncertain how this will resolve, but I imagine I will have to go to either the dealer or another company and end up paying way more than if I had just done so in the first place. When we started we had a functioning key fob with 2 physical keys. Now we have zero keys and a car with a check engine light and a dead battery. I will update this when resolved.

First off, I have to say it was a nightmare for me- I just got released from the hospital and of course I realized when I got home I had locked my keys in my home! I called this company and the friendly man (I think his name was John) was SO accommodating! He told me he understood and someone would come by within 15-30 minutes. It felt like only ten minutes had passed and the locksmith was right in front of my apartment no problem! He was able to open my door within minutes and he was so understanding and efficient. He even listened to me vent for a little about my hospital issues. After the locksmith left the man who I had previously talked to told me he was sorry about my health problems (I was diagnosed with a pretty serious illness) and he told me not to worry. He was so generous and caring-something I really needed at the time! It's safe to say if I ever have any lock & key issues this will be my go-to company. Seriously! I NEVER write reviews but I feel like this company really deserves it! Thank you so much Buffalo Lock & Key for really helping me out and being so understanding!!!! I will continue to use your services in the future! read more

I was so surprised to see the review posted a few days ago. I have used Buffalo Lock and Key for 30+ years. A few years ago they were running late and they called me. I had to leave before they would get to my house so I was annoyed. But, just like Jack's response says, they offered to come later, the next day or whenever it would work for me. I rescheduled for the next day. When the locksmith was done he gave me a discount, which I had not asked for. Sh*t happens and they are normally so prompt. The reason I saw this was I went into their shop and heard the owner asking what had happened. These guys are so friendly, and really care about their customers. In today's retail world that is very refreshing. Thanks Buffalo for your exceptional service and friendly staff!!! Rae J read more

I had started to make an appointment with City Lock as they were just across the street from my house. But the guy was so rude that, while I was waiting for him to call me back, I looked at City Lock's reviews. They were not good at all so I changed my mind. Bad reviews on top of the guy's rudeness convinced me to go elsewhere. In those bad reviews someone mentioned Buffalo Lock and Key so I called them. What a difference!! They were very profession and very nice. They sent a guy out right away (as opposed to City Lock which said after 7pm and it was 4:00 when I called). The guy was very, very nice and I learned a lot from him. Next time I will start with Buffalo. No sense dealing with nasty people (City Lock) if I don't have to. read more

My experience with Buffalo Lock and Key has been nothing short of stellar! I have had numerous keys cut there, every single one working great! They even redid my car remote!

The owner has been incredibly honest with me and has never steered me wrong with a product.
