Garage doors are a mundane house hold feature that everyone takes for granted as long as they are working, only to realize how important they are when they don't. In addition, sometimes good things can come from bad and when that happens it only illustrates the how good the good is.
Let me explain: I am an old school kinda guy so I value customer service and yesterday "Reliable Garage Door" proved they value customer service too by ultimately providing not just good but GREAT customer service as they turned what started out as an irritating experience derived from a unfortunate combination of errors, into a highly satisfactory one.
I recently had "Reliable Garage Door" install two garage door openers in my 3 car garage and unfortunately a few days ago the main door stopped working.
However, when I tried to call all 4 telephone numbers listed on the repair label next to the garage door opener inside the garage from my office phone, all numbers were disconnected (I did not know that they had been experiencing phone issues) Dismayed I first called my wife at work and had her call them too, and she got the same results, then I called them using my cell phone and got the same thing.
I then used my went online and called the number listed on the website which was a different number and it too was disconnected.
I then got in my car and went down to their Coon Rapids location at 1136 114th Ln NW
Suite 600 and found their door locked and dark.
I did not know they had moved to Suite 400 and had not updated their website and for some reason had not thought it a good idea to have a sign on the door of Suite 600 stating that they were now located in suite 400. I of course thought the worst.
I went home and went back online and asked their online tech support person if they were still in business and the online tech person said they were and I said if so, then give me a call and gave them my number.
To my pleasant surprise, I did indeed get a call back immediately.
She was very helpful and patched me into the dispatcher. This is where the already irritating part began to get even more irritating as at this time, there were some frustrating miscommunication issues as the dispatcher seemed to not know their telephone numbers were not working correctly and he had the attitude that I was either a crank caller or was somehow at fault and was calling the wrong numbers, despite my telling him I had called 5 numbers and listed them for him and telling him how I went to their location!
I told him I felt I had actually did MORE than my share to try to get a hold of someone from "Reliable Garage door", yet he showed little interest in helping me and it seemed as if the only way I was going to get somebody to come out to fix my door ASAP was to call someone else and I said so and hung up.
Not long after that Vanessa, who said she was the Customer Service manager for "Reliable Garage Door", called me and after I had explained my side of things, she apologized profusely for the actions of the dispatcher and said that yes, they had indeed been experiencing some phone issues sporadically recently which were not their fault and we realized that what had happened was a series of errors that ended up giving me the wrong impression about "Reliable Garage Door".
She apologized profusely and she set up a time for a workmen to come out to my home asap. She could not have been better or more understanding.
The "Reliable Garage Door" workmen arrived right on time and he was very friendly and VERY through as he went through the complete installation on both doors and not only repaired the issue at hand but noticed a few issues with the wiring supplied by the manufacturer that were working fine but could become an issue in the future and so he pro-actively repaired them too and he even made sure all remotes on both doors not only functioned but were programed correctly to operate for both doors and even took the time to help me get my freshly bought new Mazda SUV's "Homelink" internal remote programed, something I hadn't yet had the time to do.
I was super impressed by the attention to detail and the competence the workman for "Reliable Garage Door" showed and was also impressed by willingness of "Reliable Garage Door" and especially Vanessa, to make sure that I, the customer, was given top-notch customer service.
Over all, I am very pleased with "Reliable Garage Door" and not only will I tell all my friends/relatives about "Reliable Garage Door", I am a real estate agent and I will be adding the name "Reliable Garage Door" to my personal list of proven vendors I recommend to my clients read more
