A client comment...

Let me update you. Not only did your local affiliate call, but the local elevator company came out with tremendous information for me. I even talked to him about buying two elevators though I probably will have to decide on just one. It couldn't have been better all the way around. Thanks for the help. Harry S. Austin, Texas

A couple of client responses.....

The response from SILVER CROSS was beyond our expectations. We were contacted almost immediately, and the lift was installed in one week. To say your people here in Toronto “Have their act Together” is an understandment. Wilf L. Toronto, Ontario

I received a response within 30 minutes or your confirmation of my request. The next day I received a call and was most impressed by the thoroughness of the rep. By mutual agreement, the rep and technician visited my home, inspected the current equipment and made suggestions of ways to proceed. I was delighted by my experience and while I have decided not to buy at this moment, I expect to do so within a year and it will certainly be with the dealer you referred me to. My thanks for your wonderful service. Gerard P. Marlborough, Massachusetts
