Well, if the RUDENESS of their technicians is any indication, I would NEVER call this business! I…read morewas trying to turn left off of 74 onto Lincoln Avenue this morning. I had the GALL to dare to try to check for oncoming traffic before I made my turn when some jerk in an FE Moran service van laid on his horn at me. I made the turn and he was still making aggressive, RUDE hand gestures I could see in my rearview mirror. And they call themselves a security system company?! People should be protected from THEM! This a**hat was extremely aggressive and for no good reason. It's not like I was sitting on my phone not paying attention or something! I was driving safely and it was not fast enough for his tastes so he decided to go into road rage. I'd like to tell him what he can do with his stupid horn! NO WONDER they get one star reviews frome everyone. I'd give zero stars if I could.

If I could make this a ZERO, I would: Business: they do an…read moreannual inspection and ALWAYS screw up a perfectly functional system! and THEN (get this!) want to charge me for coming out to fix it! EVERYTIME it's an argument that their "inspector" must have created the problem that we are NOT going to pay to fix! Home: probably due to a storm or the need for another battery, I scheduled a repair appointment. After a 15 minute wait, we called to be told the new company (in my mind, a giant excuse for "I don't give a sh*& about customer care) is in charge of this scheduling and the answer was "I don't know where to call and I don't know when they are coming" but would put out a priority call!!! (I am anticipating another fight for now being charged an emergency fee). Furthermore, when scheduling the appointment, I SPECIFICALLY told them to cease their daily calls that they aren't getting a signal (DUH!). It took the THIRD nuisance call to get the point! Could this company be any more dysfunctional!

Hi, i will try to be brief in my experience. 1. when to…read morelocal chrysler dealership. 2. i had one working chyrsler key fob. 3. wanted my 2 keyed already unprogrammed keys to be programed. 4. after 3 services tech worked on it for 1 hr and 15 minutes, they said. 5. dealership said they need to schedule at least 3 hrs of labor to find the "faulty" in the wiring since there coding machine could not read the proper pin. ?? 3 x 145$ a hour......wt fing. 6. i said no, obviously. 7. i called dealership back within 10 minutes, to ask for the 4 digit pin, thus to go to a locksmith and have them see if they could program the 2 keys. A service lady told me the key coding machine has been down for the last 2 days and today. (so the techs could not get the code anyways). ............do you see what i am getting at ?...................... ( the chrysler dealership in my area lied.............and wanted to f me other for 450$ plus any parts they would find wrong. And 2 new keys since they told me the new ones i bought was wrong, thus a totalish of 650$ to be ripped of..............lol........ya baby) 8. here is the happy end of my story. 9. i called "locksmith services" in champagin illinios and and told them i have one working fob and 2 keyed blank transponders keys. 10. they imediately said "yes we can do that" 11. i went, they did ( with a very professional attitude) within 10 minutes and i walked away paying 75$ for 2 keys. And they explained in front of me what they were doing. 12. moral of this story.........go to fing "locksmith services" in champaign illinois, for all your keys help. 13. not a paid advertisement, nor do i work for them, just a honest happy customer, period. 14. moral fact #2, DONT GO TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. btw...after i came home i took the shower to get the dealership fing lies they told me. Sincerely, happy camper.

They told us that switching phone carriers would not affect our alarm service. They were wrong, and even though they acknowledged they were wrong, they refused to release us from our contract.

I was able to get through the installer manual on my own and program it. When the alarm goes off, sometimes they call to check everything is okay, sometimes they don't. What's the point of monitoring if they are not going to consistently call? i have cancelled my account (which they make very hard to do as well). Find another service - there are plenty out there that are cheaper.
