Warranty repair with John and Anthony. Great duo, very helpful and professional. They got the backup battery for our doors rewired in a timely fashion and made sure to spend some time explaining the process and results. Everything is back up and running. Thanks!

Jose was awesome! The gate at our

Irving and Dymitry were AMAZING!!! Payed attention to detail and noticed that the door was not fully aligned and they took their time to align is without us mentioning. Only reason I point this level of attention is due to having many other vortex technicians come out and just do what they had to do and leave. Knowing that they were going to get paid regardless. They also both had GREAT communication skills as well as their customer service!!

Today Tray and Johnathan with Vortex, showed up to repair our broken entrance gates. They were on time and very professional. After checking the damage, they took the time to clearly explain what needed to be done and how they would do it. Watching them while they were doing the repairs, they would measure twice and cut once'if you know what I mean, very professional! When they were done, the gates are operating perfectly, I'm very satisfied with their work!
