Report
If I could give no stars I would do it. I didn't get a chance to take to the Engineer with this company due to the fact that the lady that answered the phone was so rude. She was so disrespectful that I just hung up the phone. I decided to write a review because its not right for someone to be so mean and she was suppose to be the contact person for the business. Hopefully this will get her out of the office. Its not the first time I called this office and only made it to the front desk.
