Chloe Dean

I was almost in a car accident because one of your drivers decided to cut me off while I was getting into the turn lane on E Broad St by Dairy Queen, they used NO turn signal, just quickly hopped in front of me and cut me off. I had to slam on my breaks as hard as possible and slam on my horn to notify them that they almost hit me. Then they proceeded to drive recklessly down the road. I’m appalled and honestly shaken up. I should’ve gotten the license plate number but my main concern was making it home safely as I was genuinely scared.

Response from the owner:Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we are truly sorry for the experience you described. We take safety very seriously, and we understand how frightening that situation must have been. Please accept our sincere apologies for the distress this caused.

So we can investigate this thoroughly, would you be willing to share the date and approximate time of the incident? Any additional details you’re able to provide would be helpful. Our priority is to address this internally and ensure this type of behavior does not happen again.

Thank you for letting us know, and we’re very sorry this occurred.

Silco is the GOAT. They are worth every penny they charge. Avery Larrick was the BEST tech I think our company has ever come across, at any company. Not only was he efficient and detailed with our project, but he gave us invaluable advice that saved us a lot of money and time in the long run. We cannot thank Avery and Silco enough for saving our project with an emergency call! Thanks Avery! -From Ubihere and the Hilliard Food Pantry folks!

Response from the owner:Thank you for the amazing review! We’re so glad Avery was able to step in, provide valuable guidance, and help move your project forward. We appreciate your trust in Silco and your kind words from the Ubihere and Hilliard Food Pantry teams!
