I just don't do service work for other alarm companies anymore.  Once in a
great while I'll do a complete in exchange for signing the customer to a
monitoring contract, and even those are almost always screwed up.  Drives me
to frustration whenever I get involved with somebody else's work.

There is one local guy that I trust to do good work.  When he is done it
always works.  I've had a couple clients go over to him.  I just call him up
and make sure its good to go and I have gotten the monitoring on a couple of
his fire systems.  Never had a problem with one of his jobs.  I used to work
for him 18 or 19 years ago.  LOL.
