They have been providing security protection for our home for many years. Their staff is very professional and helpful. We've only needed service at our home twice since installation, and the technicians solved the issues quickly. The dispatch folks are great as well.

Warning USAA Members do not solicit a quote or repair from this vendor. Has mileage restriction to only provide service that is within 30 miles of Fredericksbury, albeit a company policy. Poor business judgement. Business School teaches you " Sales drive production" and driving 41 miles and gaining customers is the objective. Amazing that the security system equipment purchased for installation is provided by various manufacturers hundreds of miles away. In closing, very disappointing.

I've been doing business with Dillard Alarm for 6 years now and I have been nothing but 100% satisfied! I recently moved locations and had 2 new alarm systems installed; when they were doing their paperwork it was found that I was owed a partial refund for the payment at my old space, since I paid up front for the year and wasn't there the entire time. This was a finding on THEIR part, not mine. I honestly wouldn't have know the difference and when I got the phone call from Whitney (who has always been extremely helpful and professional) stating that I was getting some duckets back, I was highly impressed. Honest, reputable and professional! A++

Very happy with the customer service and products offered. I've had multiple security services and Dillard is far surpassing the others. It's nice to have real, local people who actually care.
