"I have been dealing with Northern Dock for 20-plus years. I wouldn't think of using any other dock door company. Best Service all around."
“The two technicians that came in were very helpful and had a great attitude while fixing our two most pressing issues. After they fixed the first door, I could tell they were tired but they stuck around to help us with another dock door and were able to fix it as well.”
“I would like to the NDS team for taking care of our service shop door issue. The door into the service shop wouldn’t close flush with the ground and would not close on its own without holding the button down. We greatly appreciate the level of service we have received from the team at NDS, and thanks to them we now have a fully operational shop door ready for the busy weekend rush.”
“I wanted to express my gratitude for your very prompt and professional assistance in repairing and servicing our broken overhead garage door. Your ability to provide immediate solutions to our needs went above and beyond expectations. I thank you and look forward to a long relationship together.”
“On behalf of the team at Policaro BMW and the Policaro Group, I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for your quick response and action with respect to the damaged overhead door in the Service Department at our BMW facility. In addition to the repairs, you were also able to pinpoint the cause of why this happened, with respect to the proper operation of the door controls. Your instruction to myself and some of the team members at BMW was invaluable in highlighting to us the dos and don’ts of the proper operation of the door controls…hopefully we’ve all gained some knowledge from this and learned a lesson.”
“I find your Service department very easy to deal with, never an issue booking an appointment and the service people arrive quickly. Your Techs are great at answering my questions about what mechanical problems they find which is nice because I just like knowing what they found out of my own curiosity. They also do very clean work, which in the past with other companies, it looks like a mess when they leave. Overall, you guys do good work making sure our equipment is operational and safe.”
“Placing the service call was easy. Prompt and efficient service received.”
“The Service department was quick to resolve our issues and the staff was fantastic.”
“Your tech’s attitude, flexibility and skills are high and happy to work with you guys.”
“Thank you for dispatching a repairman on a short notice. You wrote the book on good customer service. Much appreciated.”
“Thank you guys! Your tech did a great job and we appreciate him moving things around so that we only had 1 door down while he waited for parts.”
