Critical: Professionalism Saw one of their vans with a license plate 186kdx weaving in and out of traffic on Beaverton Hillsdale Hwy. going between 10-15 miles over the speed limit. Not very safe. Not very secure.

We were looking to change alarm companies and I stumbled upon AVS and sent an email to get a quote, John got back to me in less than 24hrs and scheduled an appointment to come by and give us a quote. All of the employees that I have had interaction with, John, Naomi, & Bill have all been professional, and friendly. I think we made a good choice when we chose this local, small business.

I'm trying to install a higher level security network and decided to try them. I made a call and he was here within a few days and provided a bid. The equipment was expensive being quality product so I wanted to research into it. So I've wanted to move forward and actually take a look at the equipment and get ready for installation and I can't get a call back. Last week I left a message. This week I talked with the secretary and was told I was going to receive a call back.

I've never received one. I guess if customer service is lacking while trying to buy $15,000 plus in equipment, I'd hate to see what it's like after the sale. I'll take this as being lucky. One star service, gave two stars since he was speedy on giving me a bid. Good luck to anyone else, maybe he just didn't like me.

We have had their service for nearly two years! Excellent service! Installation was a breeze! Nothing but praise for this company! I am purchasing another house and will definitely use their service for it!

Not just another security company. It's nice to get a knowledgeable person on the phone. Naomi was great at answering my questions, and there were many. The install went smoothly and Bill was great! John the owner even stopped by to check how the install was going. I like to support locally owned businesses and in this case I'm glad I did. Thank you!

The owner John and his team went above and beyond when it came to securing my property when I presented him with my obstacles. He very quickly presented a few options that ended up working flawlessly and the customer service is amazing. We had such a great experience American Veterans Security now secures not only all of our families homes but our businesses as well. Very reputable and highly recommended!
