Well I didn't get Eugene, so maybe that's why my experience wasn't as great as everyone else's. We…read moreneeded an emergency locksmith to get us into our place after we locked ourselves out. The star is for the guy showing up on time on a Sunday night, and for getting us in our home (although if I could give zero stars, I would). It cost us around $175 and after we were in the house, he asked us for payment in cash. We don't carry cash. He wouldn't take a credit card (despite them advertising as credit card friendly), so we paid with a check.
However, the locksmith had no idea what he was doing. Our lock AND door are totally busted, broken, in pieces. We had to give up a day of work (since we didn't have a way to lock the house) so the technician could come back Monday night and fix the lock, only for him to tell us he had the wrong size lock with him and wouldn't be able to fix and replace it. He had no idea *how* to fix it, even though he's the one who broke it.
On Tuesday, he was supposed to come over in the morning to try again, but called us to ask if we could ask our office if they have replacement locks he could use since he didn't have the correct part. We had already explained to him on Sunday that no, they don't, this is not an apartment complex but an owned condo. They don't carry locks, we don't have a maintenance office. That's why we're calling a locksmith. He said he could not help us.
We ended up calling a different locksmith company to see if they could help fix the damage done by this company, because J&M's technician didn't have the parts to fix what he broke. Plus, he asked us to call someone else to find the lock. According to the new company, there are pieces missing and broken, and they made so many errors that we need a specialty lock ordered. Now I have to keep spending money to fix what they damaged.
We called J&M on Tuesday to explain the damage that was done and ask for a refund and/or damage reimbursement since they directly caused the unnecessary damage to our door. We sent photos of the damage, per their request. We called them twice and both times they said they'd call us back - they didn't. We called again, they didn't answer. We called twice on Wednesday, they still didn't answer. We sent a text on Wednesday asking them to call us back, and they finally texted us back saying they wouldn't do a refund because we didn't contact their office - even though we had been in touch with their employee directly. Their employee said they didn't have the parts, the reason we had to contact another company was because they didn't have the parts. And yet their reason for not giving us a refund is that we should have contacted their other technicians?
NEVER do business here. Ever. This was beyond poor customer service, it was a never-ending nightmare. I even filed a complaint with the BBB, which the company ignored (this action can be found on the BBB website).
