If the technician does not have access to the service area, the customer is not available, does not answer the door or phone or does not return the technician’s call or text during this 5-minute courtesy wait time, the technician will leave, and the appointment will be considered a “no-show”. If the customer is running late and requests the technician to wait at the service location, there will be a fee of $20 for the technician to wait up to 30 minutes.
If the technician is running early, prior to the start of the arrival window, the technician will contact the customer to see if the customer is available for an early arrival. If the customer is not available earlier, the technician may move to another customer which may affect the original arrival window of the appointment.
In some cases, the technician may be running late or beyond the end of the arrival window. Brogan Services will contact customers in the event of a delayed arrival.
