After having Matson Alarm service for over 2 years, I am beginning to wonder about their customer care and quality of service. Our alarm was giving us a "Low Battery Code 2" when we were setting it, so we called and talked to some little girl who sounded like she was about 12 years old who said "Oh, I will need to check the system - should take about 5 minutes and I will call you back" - Five minutes came and went and it is now '28 hours and she still has NOT even bothered to call me back. I called again today to ask what happened and why she did not call me back, and

I can't say enough good things about Matson Alarm. They have helped my dad, my church and I refer them to my clients. Personal service is what sets them apart in my experience, great local company to work with.

This is the company that considers their customers. After I discontinued service they were kind enough to review my reason for discontinuing and adjusted my account accordingly to my favor thank you very much

I moved into a business office that already had the Matson equipment (saving me money), but the customer service and response time to orders has been unprofessional. Currently waiting for someone to respond and install another key pad. I was given an 8-10 am response time and it's now 9:50 am and no one has arrived. I have canceled all of my morning (which means a loss of income for me) because of this appointment. I'm locked into a contract, so I will have to stay, but if you are looking for a reliable company, keep looking. Don't bother.

Very frustrating trying to get my service transferred. It has been 3 months at my new location and still haven’t been able to transfer. Now trying to cancel my account so I can stop being charged for a service that I am not receiving.

With this crazy world environment we decide to upgrade our system - Matson was amazing Randy sales easy (non pressure) appointment in my timing, Jose the installer (who installed or system years ago) was AMAZING, so glad he was still there! He walked through all his install process, addressed some addition concerns with cameras and made recommendations, went over the system multiple times to insure I was aware of all the functions! Joe provide 5 star service he was Polite, tons of knowledge & beyond patient!

We recently moved into a house with a Matson Alarm. We wanted it disabled and removed and so we called the business. They said someone in that department would call us back. Never got a call back. 36 hours later I called them back and talked to someone or I should say several someones to try to get someone to come out and take the system out. We made an appointment for four days later. They never showed. I called them again and told them to please send someone out to remove the alarm. Am still waiting to hear from them........

Another local company that doesn't follow up on requests made on there online "contact form" stick with the bigger companies like Xfinity these little local companies cannot compete with the bigger guys, it's obvious to me that there customer service is crap like the products they offer....but I never got past the online reform. Hope this company falls hard.

I have had Matson for about two years. I really never need them but recently they called because there was a signal that there was an issue. The company sent a wonderful, friendly service person, Kevin, to help and he determined that a battery was bad. I asked about replacing all batteries so I didn't have to worry about others going bad. Kevin offered to do all of the batteries right then but had to go buy more due to the number of batteries needed. He spent all this time with us to take care of us (seemed like an hour or so as he had to go buy more batteries). The end result is that

I have matson for my home alarm. I have always had great customer service over the phone. One of the technicians that came to my house didnt do a great job but they took care of it. All large alarm companies have some good and bad technicians in my experience but the difference is in how they handle the problems. I appreciate that this is a locally owned familly business of over 40 years

Dear Lord, no. I just called to inquire about installing an alarm system at my house. Read Yelp reviews to discover that to get an alarm, you must to commit to a three-year term, which then automatically renews to a two-year term if you do not call to request a month to month term at the conclusion of the three years. I called back to clarify, spoke with Sarah, asked if this was true, she confirmed it was, and when I stated that she should not have her sales representative call me because that would not work for me, she promptly hung up on me mid-sentence. I did not even have time to get the

I have had Matson Alarm installed at my office for many many years. Recently there have been several break-ins in my industrial park. So, a couple days ago technician (Kevin, I believe) came to do several repairs to old & broken contacts and did a once over on our system to ensure everything is in working order. He was very patient and didn't seem to mind sticking around to answer any questions and reminding me how to control the system. Matson Alarm installs and monitors out of Fresno, which makes their response times super speedy.

Salesman lied, and said that they provide armed response. They spent 8 hours installing a wireless system, and couldn't get the cameras working. They forgot to put senser on the back door, so it has to be bypassed before it can be armed. Motion sensors picked up my 15 pound pets, and set off alarm the first time we used it in away mode. I'm not very impressed.

If contracts auto renews for customer safety, it should be on a monthly basis and cancellable any time after the original 3 year contract is over. Not for another 2 years and difficult to cancel. Please clarify how to cancel the contract once the original 3 year contract is up. Would there be substantial penalty if contract is cancelled before the "new" 2 year contract is up?

I moved into my current office space 3 years ago and called around to a number of alarm companies then decided on Matson b/c they were the best fit for service and pricing. I've not regretted it. I had a couple minor challenges (not Matson's issue) at the beginning, but I simply called and received very friendly and accommodating help over the phone. Now, I'm moving on to a bigger office, and I couldn't be happier with Matson -- I simply called to let them know of my new needs, they scheduled Michael Matson to come out just a couple business days after my call, he arrived to

Worst alarm company.. They charge you for everything. 99% of their installers are dirty and make a mess and all talk bad about their company. They've said the company cheats people, customers are charged for monitoring but aren't being monitored. Crappy sales, service and monitoring.
Make sure your alarm comes in a brand new box. They charged my buddy full price for a already used alarm system. When he called and wanted to talk to the owner, they gave him the run around. When asked about canceling, they wanted to charge him thousands to get out of the contract. DO NOT CONTACT THIS

I i've been a customer for at least 20 years everything has been great until the last three years or so with two of my houses. I get the feeling that they've gotten too big and can't properly service the amount of customers that they have. I've been disappointed with promises that they don't come through on long wait times for service men and complete service requests.

Matson's contacted me and told me I would be charged $100.00 for the used keypad.
I was so done with it all so I sent them a check.
In today's mail I got a letter, an invoice and my check back.
Thanks for the refund.
Signed a not pissed-off customer anymore. :)
