"Ash was very patient and kind as he explained each step in detail. He included taxes and fees to expect from Smart Start as well as customary fees from the installation providers. He was very compassionate and understanding and answered all of my many questions and concerns. He went above and beyond to find available installation providers with the approaching holiday. I was very anxious to call, but Ash put my fears to rest. Very thankful for his assistance. "
