I had an appointment scheduled with Jay between 3:30 PM and 6:00 PM. Around 1:00 PM, he called to ask if I was available earlier. I told him I wouldn’t be leaving work until 2:00 PM, but I didn’t clarify that I wouldn’t be home until around 3:30 due to my longer commute.
Jay arrived shortly after 2:00 PM, assuming I’d be home soon. Unfortunately, a heavy storm hit, and I didn’t get home until 3:55 PM. Around 3:15, he called again, but the rain made it hard to hear, so I just shouted that I’d be home by 4:00. I didn’t realize he had already been waiting close to an hour, thinking our appointment had effectively moved up.
At 3:25, I received a text saying he would need to reschedule. At the time, I was frustrated, thinking he showed up too early and then canceled—when in reality, it was a mutual miscommunication.
To be honest, I didn’t handle the situation well. I was upset, and my frustration came out unfairly. Despite the confusion, Jay remained calm, professional, and respectful throughout. He ultimately returned, completed the garage door repair efficiently, and handled the whole encounter with great professionalism.
I appreciate Jay for keeping his composure and following through on the job. He demonstrated excellent customer service, even when I didn’t make it easy.
The total price of the repair was $1,423 to fix the door panel, springs & pulleys.
