Service Smart has been rebranded as Good Neighbor. Do not EVer Ever sign a long term contract with anybody! If you are tempted to use them, contact seniors against crime, the file is 6 inches thick!

Picture a pile of crap. Their photo accompanies the description.

Are they still around? We were warned about them over two years ago.

When their rep came by in Oct 2016, I just said, "We heard about you guys." Then he left and have never come back.

So many new homes being built and so many gullible new Villagers. Fertile ground for the fraud to continue to grow under a new name.

Very much so, and active in Fenney. I know three people who use them for lawn maintenance and are satisfied with the job they do.

Vipers, is it so hard to run a good, honest, reputable business? I look to T & D Pools, Investment Painting Contractors, Ryan O'Cull for garage doors, Chuck Farrell for Air Conditioning, off the top of my head and so many other vendors who have stood the test of time and who get flooded with positive reviews. I'm sure the energy expenditure to screw your customers is probably the same as the energy to provide good, reliable service.

Just remember -- Karma is a 5-letter word that starts with B!

Having a 6 inch thick file on one company that has been around for years doesn't say much for Seniors vs Crime. They may be good at collecting information, but I think their overall effectiveness is questionable.

I know dozens of people that paid them up front and have rarely seen them since. All of the yellow lawns in Fenney and DeSoto are maintained by either Service Smart or no one at all, both being equal. Beware, do your homework. And thanks OP for letting us know their new name.

I don't use SS, and can only speak to the people I know/work for and their level of care.

Thank you, OP, for posting the name change.

How in the world are the able to keep getting away with this... There has to be a way to let the new villagers know what kind of people they are! Why can't The Villages warn people about them! This is the 4th company this guy has started he has to have taken millions from people by now how is he not in jail and his sales guy should be right there with him he has been with him since the beginning.

Seniors vs Crime has an office in The Villages, is authorized and directed by the Florida Attorney General, and spent $366K of taxpayer money in 2017. According to one poster, they have a 6 inch thick file on Service Smart. So, what are they doing with my tax money?

How can this in any way be the responsibility of The Villages??

This is something I wanted to say for 4 1/2 years now. Thanks for posting!

Apparently, they spend part of their time measuring the size of their files.
