Testimonials

Don’t take our word for it, listen to our existing customers!

As the Chief of Police with Azle ISD PD, I had no hesitation picking Defender as my vendor for vehicles.  I recently purchased Tahoes and am having Defender outfit several more Tahoes that is in our existing fleet.  When we took delivery of some Tahoes recently, I was once again reminded that it is not just George’s customer service that keeps me coming back to Defender, it is also the quality of work completed during the outfitting of our vehicles.  I do not know who the technician was, but I would like to extend my gratitude and admiration for a job well done.

Great customer service (before and after the sale) and quality work will keep me coming back to Defender!

We made it back with our first unit and it is already in service. I wanted you to know that we are blown away with the craftsmanship and quality of this vehicle. The technician did an awesome job. I appreciate everything you do for us and for working to get this unit pushed out.

I wanted to let you know the reason that I remain a loyal customer to Defender Supply over the many years and builds delivered, the most recent being the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 utility for our Fire Department. The quality of service and support and working with George Severe has built a trusted relationship that spans the distance and justifies working with Defender Supply even though we are in the Northeast. It has been a pleasure to be part of the growth and success of Defender Supply and at our recent in-person delivery of our new fire apparatus, we were impressed with the expanded facility, capabilities, experienced technicians, and overall hospitality shown us. Thank you.

I wanted to follow up with you on our first build with and experience with Defender Supply. We worked with George and have continued since October of 2021. George is always available for us and makes sure everything is taken care of. We really enjoy working with him. The department has been testing the first build since October 2021, and there is no doubt that it is the best built and functional patrol vehicle we currently have. When the vehicle was being built, I had the opportunity to meet the technician who built the car. Patrick was very professional and went through everything on the unit with us. Patrick also assisted us with some trouble shooting on the Noptic after we could not get in contact with the manufacturer.

The customer service and attention to detail is why we will continue to use Defender Supply. We are currently awaiting delivery for two vehicles and have two more sitting in are parking lot waiting to be delivered to you. Thanks for building cars that help my officers safely and effectively do their jobs.

I’ve been ordering police fleet vehicles for Hutto PD for over 20 years.  Defender is so far ahead of the competition with excellent service, attention to fine details and overall build quality.  I was very reluctant to switch fleet upfitters but I’m glad we did.  I want to thank you and your staff for your excellent service and the constant “can do” approach to satisfying the needs of Hutto PD. Your service, the quality of the equipment, and the consistently pleasant and positive attitude at Defender are second to none. Those qualities make it an absolute pleasure to work with you. It’s nice to know that Defender is a source we can always count on.

I wanted to take a few moments and let you know how pleased I am with not only the beautiful 2022 Defender Tahoe’s we received, but also the awesome communication with George Severe that I received during the build process. I could not be happier with both. The vehicles came out great and are without a doubt, the nicest police vehicles we have running around in the White Mountains of AZ. When other companies and dealerships bailed on us during the whole Covid problem, Defender Supply and George worked with us and made sure we were more than taken care of!

George Severe has been very helpful with our patrol vehicles, I know that it was hard to locate police vehicles last year and he worked hard to locate one for my department. I am sure he was just as stressed as everyone and every department. All the phone calls and emails kept myself and the administration up to date. When he emailed and advised that vehicle was ready, I was excited to pick it up. The vehicle was very clean, all the equipment was installed professional and neatly. The technicians had all of the equipment tuned beyond my expectations. George went over the vehicle functions and made sure all was top notch. Thanks, for the sales and service department at Defender Supply.

I want to take the time and thank Robert for his service. Robert has been to the PD on a couple of occasions, and each time he comes, he is pleasant to be around and is able to fix the issues at hand without hesitation. He is also a wealth of knowledge on how everything works and appears to enjoy his profession overall. During this most recent service call, I asked him more of a general question to which he did not know the answer. This was not a big deal in reality, but a few hours after he had left, he called me and informed me that he had found the answer and was able to provide it to me. This type of customer service is rare in today’s world, and I just wanted to let you, or whoever needs to, know you have an employee in the field who is increasing your company’s image daily, which is an invaluable resource.

Please allow me to take a moment of your time to provide feedback on the high level of service your team is providing our agency. George Severe has been handling the City of Taylor Police Departments Fleet account since we switched in 2016. Since then, we have made several purchases and had to utilize his expertise on different projects. Anytime I called with a problem George always provided a solution or access to the person who could provide the solution.  George also has been praised on several occasions by our Fleet Services Supervisor about his promptness and willingness to help. More recently, we installed Axon in our fleet vehicles. Robert, the technician who serviced our agency was top tier in professionalism, tact, and his trade.  The Axon field representative even commented on the attention to detail that was being provided to the install and said “you need to hold on to them” when we spoke about the upfitting. Robert worked from start to finish and accomplished the install of the entire fleet in two days with no errors or issues. Multiple members of the Taylor Police Department were extremely impressed with his dedication to mission accomplishment and his overall can-do attitude. Your team’s willingness to help and attention to detail is why we continue utilize Defender Supply for our fleet services.

Your company has built our department 9 Tahoe’s, stripped 2 vehicles, replaced 2 spotlights, outfitted our chief’s truck, and are going to build or outfit 5 more vehicles. George and his team are wonderful and so helpful. The vehicles look and operate great. We have only had one issue out all that service and it was fixed the day it was brought to your attention with no questions asked. George has not only helped me with all of this but has educated me also.  He is always willing to answer the phone and responds so quickly to my emails. Kelsey in the service department is great at making time for us to bring cars in for service/repairs. The techs have done a wonderful job outfitting all our vehicles. I commend your team; they have done a great job for us and make the long drive down to you worth it.

I’d like to thank Robert and Chandler for the hard work they put in this week. They worked quickly and efficiently to correct the issues we were having. I had had begun to lose confidence in the Defender builds due to the multiple issues. Robert’s knowledge, work ethic and willingness to correct anything we requested without trying to defend an obvious mistake reinforced the quality and standards of the Defender product. Chandler worked well and identified some mistakes that we had not yet noticed and they happy corrected them. They are both assets to Defender and I look forward to working with everyone in the future.

James G.Amarillo PD
I  agree with James except for the part where he was starting to lose confidence. Matt said Defender would make it right and I was confident you would. I knew there were going to be minor issues but I am pleased with the final product. More importantly I think our officers will be pleased with the additional features and capabilities we have added by having Defender upfit our cars.  I have always had a great experience working with Matt over the last six years but since we purchased the first two cars and sent you the large portion of our builds this year I have had the opportunity to deal with others. Specifically and most recently Jason, Robert and Chandler who are all great ambassadors for your business. I have had the opportunity to visit with Jason several times when he delivered cars but I didn’t get to talk to Robert and Chandler until they were almost finished. They were focused on what they were doing whenever I came into the shop but I made a point to meet before they left.  When your employees have pride in where they work it says a lot about the business.

I would like to commend your company on the outfitting of our 3 Tahoe’s we have gotten from you so far. Everyone civilian and employee has complimented the look of them. Our radio tech (works for Frisco PD), complimented yall’s wiring and how clean it is. Your team is wonderful. George and the tech that built the cars did a great job. I cannot tell you how much George has won us over in his dedication, communication, and willingness to make things right or work for us to accomplish the goal. Your company is wonderful. The website and the way to get service on the vehicles is so simple and easy. Even better yall actually respond and want our business. I have stood up for yall saying the drive to Argyle is worth it because of the service and communication alone. Please pass my compliments on to your team. Yall do a great job.

I am taking the time to write you this email about the job your technician did on retro fitting these Tahoes for us. I normally do not write these kind of emails unless I am very impressed by the work done and professionalism shown. So let me first state that your technician I feel has gone above and beyond on the work he has done for us. I never once had a problem with getting ahold of him. He kept me up to date on his work progress every step of the way. I just wanted to personally thank you for assigning him to do this work.

Your technician came out and worked on our Squad 1 at Lavon Fire Department. Our S-1 is a hand me down Lavon Police Squad car. The siren started working whenever it wanted to, so we had him out to replace the siren. He showed up exactly when he said he would be there and worked quickly to get us back in service. Even after having to deal with different brands of lights and siren (control head), he got it going and put us back in service. Thank you to your technician and Defender Supply.

I wanted to take a moment to send some praise for (whomever) assembled our latest canine vehicle. I have been in law enforcement for 28 years, ten of which as a canine handler. I have installed, helped install, or operated many vehicles equipped with a canine insert. The vehicle we received from Defender Supply is the first vehicle I have ever experienced that was absolutely rattle free! I know this may not be an important issue for some, but believe me when I express that this is a HUGE deal for a canine handler. I am not sure what sort of witchcraft your tech used to eliminate all the rattles, but whatever magic he invoked, it sure made a difference. LOL. As always, we are extremely pleased with your work product. Your staff (even George Severe) have remained extremely helpful as usual. (I enjoy messing with George, he has a great personality!) We are looking forward to receiving the remainder of our vehicles and continuing our business with Defender Supply in the future!

Recently, we purchased several vehicles from your company. First of all, I know speak for all the officers when I say we are more than pleased with the final product. Secondly, I’d like to personally thank Jared. There were some changes we wanted to make to our vehicle’s light systems and without Jared we’d be lost. He answered his phone right away, stopped what he was doing and walked me through the light programming process. I thought this would be a complicated process not being familiar with programming. However, Jared made this process seamless and very easy. Not only did he help me program the first time, but we had to make several changes. Jared did not hesitate and responded to every text message and email within minutes. I’m sure I drove him crazy with all of the changes but Jared kept a great attitude and walked me through the entire process several times. I have dealt with other companies in the past and it is hard to get someone to call you back within a week. Not with this company. I cannot say enough thanks and good things about Jared and the technician team at this company. Because of the hard work of your team and the professionalism you guys devote to your clients, we as police officers are able to do our job effectively. Thank you again!

George was very responsive in questions I had. Hope to use you again in the future.

Just wanted to reply to the service that was requested by the Levelland police dept. On Thursday June 18th, your technician contacted me about the issue we were having with a new unit install, ( WatchGuard 4 RE system ). He was able to guide me through the wiring on the 4RE and we were able to fix the problem in a matter of minutes. Thanks to him the unit is back in service. Once again thanks Defender.

I received my Tahoe on Sunday, July 22, 2013. The vehicle is awesome like any new vehicle would be. The thing you have to know is that this company’s customer service is like no other. I have never enjoyed and been treated as well as I was with Defender Supply. George, my salesman, never made you feel like you were asking too many questions or that you were asking too much. This company’s product is awesome, but the experience you will encounter is like no other.

We purchased a 2019 Chevy Tahoe for our department and recently had an issue with the lights not working on the push bumper. A call was made to the service department describing the issue. Within 24 hours as instructed by Kelsey, a service member technician called me and knew exactly how our vehicle was configured and walked me through areas that may be the cause from the rear of the vehicle to push bumper. The problem was identified within 10-15 minutes and my emergency lights now work. This type of service is very hard to find especially for emergency vehicles as most want to just have the customer take the vehicle to their service center. We are extremely happy with the service we received by the service departmentincluding a follow up call today to make sure everything is still operating as it should. We look forward to doing business with Defender Supply again.

Just wanted to take a second to tell you personally how impressed and thrilled I am with the new Tahoe and all of the work your team put into it! From the beginning, George stayed in close contact with progress updates or points of clarification needed for the tech on install items. The work was done exactly on time, and when I arrived for the inspection—it was perfect. The tech who did the install even came and I had a chance to ask some technical questions which he answered thoroughly. From start to finish, outstanding sir! The tech did an amazing job on every last detail! Thank you for the great work,

Thank you! I wanted to let you know that this is our fourth vehicle from Defender and we are very pleased with all of them. The technicians who up fit and installed all of the equipment should be commended for the professional work they have completed. George Severe, he is the man with the plan. George answered every question we had before we could even ask it. George was on leave for a funeral and still emailed me quickly to give me an update on our 2020 Ford Interceptor. George’s dedication to Defender and clients are very appreciated and I am grateful that we are able to conduct business with him. We highly recommend your company to other law enforcement agencies and we look forward to continued business with George and your team at Defender. Thank you again!!!

I would like to take a moment and say how much I appreciate the customer service I received from your employee George Severe. George is always so helpful from the moment I contact him for a new vehicle until the moment of delivery and beyond. His customer rapport is exceptional. The new Tahoe we purchased was top notch and my patrolman is beyond happy with the way the unit was built. The technician did an outstanding job and we are more than pleased. It is apparent that your employees take pride in their work. This makes the third vehicle we have purchased from Defender Supply and we wouldn’t think of going anywhere else. Customer service seems to be your company’s #1 priority and we appreciated George taking care of our needs. Your company is fortunate to have George, not only does he understand what the customer is wanting, but he helps by answering all of our questions and doing so in a manner that makes you feel like your business is appreciated. We will definitely continue using Defender Supply for all of our police vehicle needs.

Over the past few years, we have asked Defender Supply to build our agency’s patrol cars as well as C.I.D. vehicles. We have never been more pleased with the quality of work that each technician puts toward each vehicle. As someone who has been in this line of work for decades, I can tell you I have asked other companies to build police vehicles for me, and Defender Supply is by far superior to anyone I have dealt with. Our salesman, George Severe, knows his business as well as his customers. What the customer wants, the customer gets. George has taken the word “shortcut” from his vocabulary, and the vehicles he delivers show no shortcuts. George, I learned a long time ago not to fix something that was not broken, so please keep doing what you all do. Thank you, Defender, and thank you, George.

Our department recently took delivery of a 2019 Chevy Tahoe. This was our first purchase from Defender Supply and definitely will not be our last. I have been working with George Severe for approximately 2 years now to purchase a new vehicle. Our city faced some budgetary issues and the process was lengthy and took way longer than I wanted, or expected. George was extremely patient and helpful during the entire time. He staying in contact with me on a regular basis and ensured our department would get exactly what we wanted. He was more than helpful and provided friendly guidance all along the way.
I was finally able to pick up our Tahoe last Tuesday, 07/23, and was beyond impressed. I have been driving police vehicles for over 15 years and this is by far the most professional install I have ever seen. The technicians did an amazing job and the pride they take in their work is very evident. All of the equipment was installed with the utmost care and attention. The guys in the detail shop also did an amazing job cleaning it and it was spotless when I picked it up.
I am beyond impressed with the service and quality from Defender Supply. I would like to thank George for being so patient with our department and working with us through issues that were out of our control. I would also like to thank the technicians for doing such an amazing install and the detailers for making it shine! I would highly recommend Defender Supply and look forward to purchasing our next patrol vehicle from you!

What a delightful surprise today when our new Tahoe was unloaded from the transport truck! We didn’t expect it here for another month and a half or two months. It is beautiful and we are all practically drooling over it. Lt. Martin (who will become Chief Martin in 10 days) drove it to my house to let me be among the first to see it. I am impressed by all the features and attention to detail. I sat in every seat and climbed into the cargo area and turned on every light. I am so pleased and wanted to let you know.
Again, thank you for putting out such an excellent product and for guiding me through the ordering process.

I have been a part of our departments fleet maintenance for the past 10 years. In 2017 I took over as our fleet manager. We began using Defender Supply in 2017 for our fleet vehicle outfitter. Our sales rep is George Severe. He has gone above and beyond and has treated every person from our department like we were family. We just took delivery of our Tahoe and again George when above and beyond our expectations. George is a huge asset to your company. As far as our fleet vehicle builds, Bobby & Corey are outstanding. The quality of workmanship they put into every build they do is absolutely outstanding. They have built several of our fleet vehicles and when they are finished, the vehicle looks like it came from the factory that way. The few times I have had to use the service department for any repair needs, Kelsey has raised the bar and made the service department easy to contact and schedule. James has come to our department a few times, even when we have messed up something with the programing, and repaired the issues professionally and quickly, allowing us to keep our vehicles in operation. Because of the quality of people you are hiring, we will always use Defender Supply for all our fleet vehicle needs.Thank you for all you do for us and please keep up the great work.

This last week, my department received delivery of a 2018 Tahoe from Defender Supply. As a new Chief of a small department this was first opportunity to buy a patrol vehicle. When I called Defender to set up the purchase I was given to George Severe. I’m not sure if this was by design or luck but George took extra special care of me from order to delivery. He was patient and prompt to answer the least question. George was also very helpful to my Lieutenant showing her all the bells and whistles before we left. I cannot remember the man’s name in the photographer but he was very friendly and the Tahoe was spotless when we left. This was a painless and enjoyable car buying experience and we will be using Defender supply for future purchases.

I am writing to you (again) to tell you how grateful I am to Defender Supply for always going above and beyond to ensure the customer is happy. In particularly, I would like to thank George Severe. I have worked with him off and on for these past 5 years and each encounter has been nothing but great. I emailed George on Thursday, June 28th at 19:59 to inquire about an LED module that went out on my inner edge. He responded at 20:03 and got me the information I needed for me to come in the next day and have it evaluated. Who does this but someone who is truly dedicated to the mission and I have to say its entirely because of George that I will continue to use Defender Supply. I give his name out to everyone who asks me about who did my vehicle because I know that George will give them the same treatment. Please pass on my utmost gratitude to George and to your fine staff. Its always an A+ experience!

I just wanted to let you know how much of a pleasure it has been doing business with your company. George Severe was able to find us a great vehicle and the service staff did a wonderful job with the installation of aftermarket equipment. The attention to detail is obvious. The process has been extremely professional and service oriented. I was picked up at the airport in Dallas and transported to your facility where the vehicle was waiting to be inspected in showroom condition. Every aspect of the vehicle and equipment was shown to me and all questions were answered with full explanation. I was also able to meet the installation technician and I could tell by the quality work that was performed that he was proud of the work he able to do for your company. I am glad to see that there are still companies that pride themselves on quality installations and great customer service.

I am the Chief Deputy Constable Pct. 3 Parker County, Texas. On April 13, 2017 I picked up our Departments 2018 Chevy Truck that your company installed Emergency Lights, Siren and installed a Radio with Antenna. I have been involved thru my years in Law Enforcement with having the task of dealing with vehicle equipment rig outs. I have to give credit where credit is due, the installation of equipment is First Class. The use and location of equipment is better than expected. My last several experiences with vehicle rig outs were not good experiences. Mr. Severe was a pleasure to deal with and communicated regularly with me on this vehicle. The technicians involved, showed that they cared about the small details of the installation. Limited wire exposure, location, and bracketing. I am a very happy customer.

Eric, I am not surprised by much. The new Tahoe we picked up yesterday surprised me. You and your team of skilled installers out did yourselves on this one. I asked that the Tahoe be a clone of the last one you did for us, and it was. Everything worked the first time. The equipment was flawlessly installed.
Thank you for what you do. We would not be able to do our job efficiently and look professional while doing it if not for the high quality of workmanship and attention to detail. We will be back when it’s time to go through the process again. Eric, you and your staff give yourselves a big round of applause.

I wanted to drop you a quick email thanking your company for the fast and efficient work they continue to provide our department. Our sales Rep, George Severe, is always positive, friendly, and attentive to my needs. He understands the need for police vehicles to be on the street and not in your garage being worked on. I appreciate his fast responses and the work he does on all of our new vehicles purchased through your company. Please let George know I appreciate all of help!

The City of Sudan is a small town (population 958) with a small budget. We don’t have the privilege of purchasing many new vehicles. However, the City Council authorized the purchase of a new 2018 Ford Interceptor. The entire experience was great. Everyone from Defender Supply involved in our purchase was helpful, courteous, and efficient. The entire process from beginning to end was pleasant. The end result, the new patrol unit, is superior. The City of Sudan will contact Defender Supply for future purchases and will recommend them to other entities. Thank you for your professional service and the quality vehicle delivered to the City of Sudan.

George Severe did a wonderful job in helping us and the technician that built the vehicle did an awesome job. We have highly recommended Defender Supply to other agencies and will continue to do so. I had the opportunity to see your new facility and must say I am very impressed. Keep up the good work.

I just wanted to pass an email along to you to let you know how pleased we are with the trucks your company built for us. We flew down last week and picked up our new trucks and drove them 2000 miles back up here to ski country in Northern Idaho. These are absolutely beautiful rigs and these trucks turned heads for 2000 miles. As a Chief, ordering a vehicle sight unseen was a bit nerve-racking. It was nice to be able to call George and have him always answer every text, email and phone call and put my mind at ease. We were blown away at the quality of craftsmanship that your technician put into our vehicles. It was well worth the drive for that quality! Thanks again for building these trucks, having someone like George to walk us through the process and the quality technicians who make these amazing life-saving machines! You earned a new lifetime customer with Boundary Ambulance!

We could not been more pleased with the results. You could tell that someone took great care in fulfilling our order. Our student resource officer, who is also a Reeves County Constable, was also impressed as well. Mr. George Severe, the person I dealt with in the purchase of this vehicle, was also great to work with as. He was easy to talk too and always had time for me when I called. Plus he would always returned any missed phone calls in a timely manner. Once again, thank your company for the great workmanship on our new Tahoe.

My name is Ali Hemyari and I am a Training Director with Nashville K9. This will be the third purchase from Defender Supply. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Bryan since 2008/2009 and George since 2012. It’s very difficult to find companies that care about clients, especially past ones. You guys definitely set the standard in the auto industry whole exceeding customer satisfaction and quality. As a police officer who owns a small business, I’ve counted on your vehicles, installation, care, and customer service for several years now and I couldn’t be happier. I believe your technicians who install everything are top notch, with innovative techniques and clean installs providing function and usability. George does a fantastic job of keeping in touch with me, answering the phone even while he’s not at work. He does such a good job I’m surprised he sleeps. That’s a value in customer service extremely difficult to find, especially in an employee. As our society gets lazier, it’s good to know there are top notch companies out there that set the bar high. I’m thankful for all that your team does and continues to do. I know my vehicle is safe, strong, my dogs are secure, and everything is dependable. You should be proud of the team you’ve assembled and kudos to guys like Bryan and George who are cultivating new and exciting business opportunities without sacrificing quality and customer care. You’ve built a great company and that is a difficult thing to do in today’s time. The idea of having the constitution and character of your staff in a professional and effective manner is something to be proud of. Thanks for always having our back.

I don’t know the name of the tech that did the equipment installation, but take it from a guy who use to do equipment installations for several counties and cities several years ago, that is the best installation I have ever seen, no rattles, exposed wires, and everything works!!!

My name is Kameron Mulkey and I am a Deputy at Pct. 4 Constable Office in Harris County Texas. I am writing to commend your salesman, Mr. George Severe. I first contacted Mr. Severe back in December and advised him I would like to purchase a fully equipped Tahoe from him. This will be the second Police Tahoe I have bought from your company. The first was through Holiday Chevy back in 2009/10 I believe. Mr. Severe was very helpful in guiding me through the process of ordering exactly what I wanted for my patrol needs. At any time I called and spoke to Mr. Severe he made me feel like I was the only customer he was dealing with and was very patient with me. All of my questions were answered in a professional and timely manner. I was very impressed with the professionalism and patience that Mr. Severe gave me as a customer. I probably drove the guy mad with my constant changes to this light setting or that rifle lock mount but at all times he was patient and gave me assurances that I would receive what I wanted exactly how I wanted it. After a short time the Tahoe was ready for pick up. I flew to Dallas and was going to meet an employee of Holiday/Defender Supply for a courtesy ride to your facility. Due to the roads being frozen a driver was unable to make it. I took a taxi from the airport to Defender supply and Mr. Severe covered the fare. My Tahoe was spit shined and everything I expected and more. I am very happy with my purchase and am the envy of the guys at the station with my new POV. I appreciate you sir for taking the time to read my letter and I appreciate Mr. Severe for all his help. Stay safe up there sir.

Defender Supply,
Last year, I ordered my awesome Tahoe from George. That was the best car-buying experience I have EVER had. From the first time that I spoke with him on the phone until I picked up my Tahoe…working with George was entirely easy. His incredible knowledge of the public-safety industry and the equipment that can be utilized streamlined the entire process. I was also thankful in how well he was able to work with my budgetary needs without making me feel pressured in any way. Last week, on my way to a funeral, I called George and inquired about adding some equipment to my Tahoe. Again… George offered that same great customer service and really worked hard to arrange an appointment that would allow the equipment to be added on my way back home from the funeral. He certainly made me feel like I was a VIP and I appreciated very much all his efforts. I definitely consider George a friend and I will certainly promote your company by referring them to George. On Monday, the day of the appointment, as I was waiting while my vehicle was being worked on, I went to check out the Defender Outdoor store and met Dennis. Again, your sales staff offer tremendous knowledge and customer service. While I didn’t necessarily come into the store to purchase a gun, Dennis was very good about showing and explaining everything. I ended up making several purchases from the store and I am very glad I did. He made me feel like I knew him forever and I believe he is a huge asset to your company. While my vehicle was being worked on, I interacted with John and Scott quite a bit. Again, the “family-like” atmosphere of the company was exemplified by these guys as well. I was also very impressed with Scott. While he was working on my vehicle, I was asking several questions related to my vehicle and to the industry in general. He was very patient and kind and answered all my questions. I am VERY pleased with his work! I am also thankful for his service to our country by serving in the United States Navy. Thank you for hiring vets! I certainly hope this email conveys my satisfaction in these men and the work they do for your great company. Know of my heartfelt thanks and I look forward to doing more business with you in the near future.

The car is awesome! I showed it to the deputy administrator and he was thoroughly impressed. I’ll be showing it to the big boss in a day or two as well. Installation seems top notch, product quality is great, and the process was painless. I’m extremely impressed with the whole package. I’m curious to see what the PD thinks once we present it to them in a week or two. Going forward I’d only change a few things to make it closer to what our officers are accustomed to. For the price I’m now curious to see how the Whelen Ready for the Road package with a Liberty light bar would compare… Again this car is amazing. Well done! Please thank you and your staff for me.

We have been purchasing vehicles from Defender for a number of years. Most recently we ordered 13 vehicles for a number of different applications here at the PD. George Severe was our salesperson. George was very responsive to our request, some of which were a bit out of the ordinary. He communicated with us regularly to ensure that all equipment was installed like we wanted, and he updated us regularly on the progress of the vehicles. We are very pleased with the vehicles, however the customer service provided by George Sever is THE reason that we will come back to Defender in the future. Please pass along our thanks to him. We will be calling you again next year. Warm regards from Webster!

We purchased our new grant funded EMS truck through your company in December of 2015. Last night we had some issues with the extendo-bed and the camper top door while we were going to an emergency call. I emailed photos to George of the parts that needed replaced, and within 1 hour, the manufacturers of the extendo bed and the camper top had communicated with me to “make things right” with their products! All because George had called on our behalf.
Because of George, we are getting all of the things fixed in timely manner, making my life a lot easier. Please thank George for us for his phenomenal and professional customer service skills. We will definitely be buying from your company again soon.

I had to bring my patrol vehicle in for a small repair that ended up taking almost two hours to complete. I arrived at the Defender Supply shop on Tuesday, December 29, 2015 at around 12:10pm. A technician named Anthony Hunt immediately stopped what he was doing and came to assist me. I was prepared to wait until the shop technicians finished the bir lunch and conveyed that to Mr. Hunt. He said that would not be a problem and kept working on my vehicle until he was finished with the work.

From day one, George answered all my questions, got back with me when I needed something else, and was completely professional and helpful. I had a very tight budget and I feel we got a great deal from a great company. I had the vehicles delivered at one of the area police departments because I had no room to park them at the school. The Chief of Richwood PD was there with me when our vehicles arrived and we watched as they were unloaded. He was amazed that they were so well equipped, everything from the push bumpers, to the gun locks, and prewired for our radios. I will certainly spread the word about Defender down here and wish you and your staff a very merry Christmas. The team that installed the equipment did a great job, everything works and looks great. There were no small pieces of wire on the floor that I had seen from other vendors, and the vehicles were literally ready to hit the street. Thanks again for your great team and please advise George and his technician team that they did a great job!

We recently had the unfortunate experience of the loss of one of our fleet vehicles a few weeks ago in an accident.
It was not our deputies fault, and thankfully with no serious injuries on either side. Being the end of our fiscal budget, I had to scramble to locate a replacement vehicle before Sept 30th (just a couple weeks). I called Defender Supply and spoke to George Severe who told me you had 2 New Inventory 2014 Chevrolet Tahoe’s in stock. Not only was it cheaper than the other dealership I talked to, but George was genuinely concerned about getting us processed as quick as possible. When we arrived at your facility last Friday (ironically Sept 11th) we were met by George, he gave us a tour of the facility. Having built cars myself years ago, I saw employees that were respectful and looked professional. I really appreciated the attention to detail, and a job done right the first time. I am looking to switch our purchases (2-2016 Tahoe’s) to you this fall. Keep up the good work, and I’m looking forward to our next purchase. Thank you!

He has an obvious desire to strive for customer satisfaction and brings a wealth of knowledge to your organization.
Next I would like to give a huge thanks to Moe. He was able to deal with constant changes and add-ons. He performed an outstanding job on the rebuild of our existing unit. Then Scott, who was able to adapt and overcome great odds and time restraints to strip an already built unit and rebuild a new unit in two and half days while making it look as if it took months to build. I can tell you that Scott takes a great pride in protection. That is a trait that is not often seen in this business. As LEO’s it brings smiles to our faces to see someone with the attention to detail like this. Also I would like to give thanks to John and Chris for their wealth of knowledge which has assisted the techs in performing an outstanding job. It shows they set great examples to the rest of your crew to follow. There is no doubt that your business will continue to grow by leaps and bounds with the above persons and several others in your office not mentioned. We look forward to many years of continued business with your company in the future.

Bulverde Spring Branch EMS just purchased a unit from your company. Just wanted to take a moment to say thank you and what pleasure it was working with your team. George, I believe, that he went out of his way to find just the right truck that would meet our needs. I was very impressed with your facility and the professional manner of all of the staff. The installation of the emergency light package is very professionally done. The tech shows that he takes great pride in his work. Thank you again for all the hard work that your employees have put in to making this purchase a very pleasant experience. Thank you!

I wanted to let you know that I recently purchased a Ford Police Interceptor Sedan from Defender. After having received emails from George Severe for years, I knew that Defender Supply was going to be a competitive place to look for my new vehicle. Well, I met George over the phone and was instantly impressed with his knowledge and willingness to meet the needs that I had. I am a one man agency and I don’t purchase vehicles very often, so I know I’m not some huge account for George. But George treated me like I was every bit as important as the guy that was ordering a hundred cars and would be for the next few years. He always made himself available and showed me a level of service that I am not used to seeing in this day and age. George wound up suggesting that I take a look at the Ford Interceptor that Defender had used as a demo car they took to shows. That didn’t sound too appealing over the phone, but once I got down there and George was able to show me the vehicle, again I was thoroughly impressed. The car was absolutely perfect for my situation and it was something that I would have never considered if it had not been for George making the suggestion. George also hung in there with me while I had to cut through all the red tape with my city to actually to get the P.O. for the purchase the car. Just trying to get other dealerships to get me quote on a vehicle was painstaking and in a few cases, impossible. I have no doubt that I have received, through George, a level of service that no other dealerships can match. That is impressive. Many other Marshal’s Offices across Texas are one man agencies. We have a pretty tight knit group through the Texas Marshal’s Association and we rely on each other for advice and suggestions. Many surrounding agencies have already heard my story about the great experience I had with Defender, but our annual conference is next month. I will be giving Defender Supply, and in particular George Severe, a glowing recommendations to my peers from across the State. If there is ever anything that I can do to help Defender Supply out, I would be more than proud to do it.

I am writing to inform you that as a customer of Defender Supply the process of obtaining our new patrol units has been extremely efficient. I worked with George Severe and I’ll tell you there are not many people like him left out there. He worked with me for the last several months over and over again, call after call, and endless e-mails to ensure that our order was accurate and the equipment was installed to our specifications. He has knowledge from the beginning of the order to the end to ensure that not only do the vehicles look good, but are set up with quality equipment and in a manner that will facilitate day to day patrol use. Every officer that is in one of our new units has been impressed with the level of quality in our installed equipment installed in them. Prior to their arrival George personally inspected the units, proven by a faulty push bumper he saw on one, and had the correct one installed prior to its delivery. The installation of all the equipment was flawless as well, down to the flashlights that were installed where it is easy access, yet doesn’t hang up on other equipment. I will suggest the use of your company in the future and look forward to dealing with your staff. I hope that you understand the level of excellence you have in an employee of George’s caliber, he will be an asset to your company for years to come.

To George Severe: I am writing this e-mail to tell you how much I appreciate you and your staff. This vehicle was purchased with a grant. One of our vehicles was shot up and we needed to make sure that we had this vehicle as soon as possible to comply with our time line for the grant funding. I appreciate you helping me all the way through this process. I would also like to commend the technician that did the work on my 2014 Chevrolet Tahoe. The wiring and light set up is a first class job as always with the Defender vehicles we have purchased in the past.

Just wanted to sincerely thank you and your staff for the service provided to this department while transitioning to new patrol vehicles. I’ve been an administrator for the last eight years and have had to deal with ordering new patrol vehicles while working with other agencies. Main complaint was the time frame we were given for delivery, only for that date to be continuously pushed back. One order I was told six weeks, which turned into six months, and the delivered cars did not have the equipment we asked for. My thought was, just tell the truth, easier to swallow and I can respect the honesty. Your company representative George Severe was up front and honest and we received the vehicles within the time frame given. George also maintained contact and kept us updated, and would call asking where we preferred certain equipment mounted. I did not get this kind of service from other install companies. Also helps that George is a Peace Officer, kind of knows how things should be positioned. When we picked up the vehicles, they were everything we expected, and the hospitality would make any fellow Texan proud. So once again a sincerest THANK YOU!

I would like to take a moment and tell you what a pleasure it has been working with George Severe. Last week our Department received the six Tahoes that we are leasing and the one we purchased out right after one of our other vehicles was totaled in a wreck. George has gone above and beyond throughout the entire ordering and production of our vehicles. George exemplifies true professionalism and I am sure that he is a valued employee of Defender Supply. On behalf of the Erath County Sheriff’s Office I just wanted to tell you how pleased we have been by the hard work of George Severe. Please pass on my sincere appreciation to George and rest assured, Defender Supply is the Erath County Sheriff’s Office one stop shop. Job well done!

This is our second year purchasing vehicles from your company and it’s been an absolute delight dealing with George. I cannot describe the level of service that he has provided us, other than it being fantastic. If we have a question or concern, George is always there to assist us. His customer service skills and the fact that the vehicles are done right is what keeps us coming back to Defender Supply!

Thank you for your continued service and cooperation with me and my department. Our officers, and officers at surrounding agencies, were amazed at what Defender Supply has done with our K-9 Chevy Tahoe and Ford Interceptors. The personal touches and expertise that your group and salesman George Severe have shown in our vehicles has been a huge morale booster for our officers. Please convey this message to the technicians and others on a job well done!

I could not be more pleased with our new 2013 Defender Caprice. In my 26 years, this is my favorite cruiser. You folks did an outstanding job with the installation. The car was exactly as specified. Thanks also to our sales rep George Severe!

I wanted to let you know how pleased we are with the new C.I.D. vehicle we picked up yesterday. Your technician did an awesome job on the install. Probably one of the best we have seen on a civilian vehicle. Our Chief was very pleased and even took it to our City Manager to look at. The City Manager was also very pleased. They say in the car business that customer loyalty is the most important thing, I would have to say that with the way the vehicle was rigged out and the professionalism that Defender Supply and salesman George Severe showed us, as far as I’m concerned, you have a customer for a long time. Again, I appreciate everything y’all did for us.

Thank you! Now that I’ve owned my new Tahoe for a month, I’m convinced that purchasing from Defender Supply was the most pleasant and professional buying experience thanks in no small part to your salesman George Severe. Your facility and your customer service is top notch.

In most cases people are more inclined to write about their bad experiences with a company rather than the good ones. Milano PD was just starting up and we were only ordering one car. Yet in all cases when dealing with your company I didn’t feel like a small police department but rather one that was buying a complete fleet of vehicles. In particular I would like to thank the efforts of George Severe; he was fast, efficient and respectful with every contact. He made an effort to keep me informed at every step. I am comfortable knowing that a vehicle that must be relied on by myself, my officers and the community was built by your company. Working with your company has differed greatly to some of the other companies we have had dealings with. It was nice to speak with Mr. Severe as he never made it seem as if we were anything less than top priority. It was because of Mr. Severe’s efforts, and the outcome of the vehicle, that I have since spoke to other agencies in my area about your company. Soon after receiving the Tahoe I spoke with Chief Harris from Rockdale, Texas who is also interested in purchasing a Tahoe. If he has since contacted your company I am unsure, however I would ask you to put Mr. Severe on their case as I am sure he will keep them coming back for all of their vehicle needs. Thank you for the support your company has provided for me and I would be more than happy to be a reference for your company now and in the future. Be assured that at least during my tenure as Chief you will have a dedicated customer.

Let me tell you that this has been probably the best experience I have ever had involving the purchase of a vehicle. I have been involved in many vehicle purchases and have had none go as smooth as this one. You have delivered the vehicle I expected and the add-on equipment and installation was better than I expected. Your staff and George Severe in particular went out of their way to assure that I felt not only welcome but appreciated. The paperwork for the new vehicle and trade in took minutes which is very unusual. I received great driving directions to your new facility and was greeted with a smile by one of the most accommodating people I have ever met. The longest part of the entire experience was with your installer. In all my vehicle deals I have never met with the person that installed the equipment just to be sure that I was pleased and got what I was expecting. I don’t believe that I have ever talked with anyone that was interested in what the customer thought or wanted, this is above and beyond in my opinion. I realize that the City of Ingram is a very low volume small customer, but I felt like that you and your staff gave me the same service and attention as a large volume customer. Thank you for everything and the great experience with Defender Supply.

To whom it concern, I recently purchased a 2012 Dodge Charger PPV. After many years in the public safety business and having unfitted many vehicles and apparatus over the years. However I have been away from it for some time now. As vehicles and equipment get smarter I find myself at a loss on my Charger. In my quest looking for the right equipment for this vehicle I spoke with many people in the sales areas of respective companies I contacted. As to be expected in this day and time none were overly helpful. I found Defender Supply and noticed that being in Texas the shipping would most likely be faster than some other suppliers. I placed a call and was put in touch with Terri. Terri was very pleasurable to deal with and extremely helpful! Offering information that no other supplier had even mentioned! Things that would certainly effect the end result of the equipment I needed, more importantly the overall price of the order! I can not say enough good things about Terri. I must say she is the sole reason your company received my business, as well as future business. I would consider Terry a highly valued employee as should you her presence makes your company a better place to do business with.

I wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed working with and doing business with Defender Supply. My small police department purchased a 2013 Chevy Tahoe. It would not have been a great experience if it wasn’t for your great personnel. I personally worked with George Severe. I have never been treated better in any place of business than I was by George. This guy is the best I have ever seen in customer service. Small departments don’t always get treated well for what ever reason in police supply. George made myself and my department feel like we were his number one priority. You can not train that. I believe the person has to be a person who wants to help others and care about their needs. Defender Supply is one hell of an outfit and if I could I would want to work for you. I thank you and George for the work you do and will pass the word about your great products and the IMMEASURABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE you all have. Thank you.
