I was not told there would be a service call fee for someone to come to my house. I've had other contractors come by for free estimates. I take responsibility for my mistake of not asking if there would be a service call fee and whether it would be included in any repair cost or in addition to any repair cost. I would have appreciated being told that information when I initially called. When the tech arrived and gave me a quote, I thanked him and said I would check with my husband and get back to him about whether we would move forward. Then he told me about the $75 service call fee for him to come to the house whether any repairs were done or not.
With the tech waiting, I called their office to inquire about the service call fee and the person I spoke with was abrupt and rude. I asked my question and he immediately was aggressive and stated repeatedly that I definitely asked for a "service call" and there is a service call fee. I asked for clarification because I had asked for a "quote/estimate" and he became even more aggressive. He literally said "Of course there is a service call fee, we're not a charity." (!!!)
He was basically berating me and was very unprofessional and rude. I was polite and tried to explain that I would have appreciated being told about the fee ahead of time, but he kept cutting me off and it was awful.
I called back shortly after to speak with someone else and tell them how I was treated. That person apologized and I left it at that. I had the tech do the work so I wouldn't lose the $75 I would have paid for the service call fee while getting no repair done.
I paid my full bill minus a small discount. **I have no problem with the service call fee and their price was fine** However the way I was spoken to was completely unacceptable.
If you can do business with this company without dealing with that one person, you'll probably be fine. I personally won't use them again. I hope their company can improve their customer service in a way that prevents other customers from being treated the way I was.
"Aero has since returned to service the Munawars door again, free of charge, and cleared up the fact that when she had called in she was actually speaking to an answering service and not one of our employees. This was the second time we've had a complaint about how our customers were spoken to by the answering service and have stopped using the service. Hopefully she will respond as she said she would and help clear this unfortunate incident up."

"Aero repaired the door and a few days later another part of the clients door, unrelated to the first repair we preformed, broke. What was said to the client after we went back and repaired his door free of charge, was that the screw that was used to install it in initially was the wrong screw. Since AGD Inc. did not install the the system initially obviously the client misunderstood what was said and has misrepresented our company. We went back free of charge to repair an non related problem, the first repair was done properly and remains so."
