The female proprietor is the same the first reviewer referred to. Be very careful with these people(especially her). They will smile to your face as you walk in,but encounter a problem along the way after any work has been done,and watch out. I found their gratitude(year and a half with dealing with them,and they acted like they were doing me a favor?...I mean,I found their approach to be incredibly arrogant...not one gesture or verbal expression of gratitude for my business was ever extended to me),customer respect(they chided me for expecting too much),and general approach to anything other than their own feelings on any matter lacked any desire to satisfy the customer. I would not recommend them,but if you do go to them,get everything in writing,and don't authorize anything without getting specific costs upfront. I will say the service guys are very good,and I do trust their work. They seem conscientious about doing quality work. But Once the woman lands on a price or does some work,if your inconvenienced or feel something isn't fair,she will try and get you for every dime she can. "They are never wrong". So once I brought up a concern,there was a tremendous attitude change. It was made clear to me,like the first reviewer,that the customer was at fault. A most difficult time for me(mother's health) was compounded by her inability to access my trailer with a 24 hour heads up,which cost me an extra nites stay,delaying my return trip home by a day,and all she could think of was their own interests("I only have one guy working"). I will commend,I think old man, who got the message I left the nite before,and low and behold,my trailer was ready to go by 9:30 AM(they open at 9:00) the day AFTER I needed it...20 minutes after I got a call at 9:10 was all it took to access and prep my trailer. Seriously,How she couldn't manage her work day to accommodate a 30 minute Trailer access/prep for me to be on my way is unimaginable,and demonstrated absolutely no interest in being sensitive to my request(I had specifically requested to pick it up the next day,allowing her as much time as possible to work it into her schedule,shooting for between 4-5 PM the next day so I could start my trip back home).
"But other customers came before me" was all I got. She then escalated the situation as I got a bunch of other static out of her as I was requesting some relief or sensitivity to the situation. It began as a principle thing about money for me but in the end the shear indifference and insensitivity in her attitude was more upsetting. It was how I was treated that was the problem. The disrespect and callous indifference to a customer's point of view or situation exhibited by This woman was stunning. What kind of person manages their business with that kind of attitude? Seriously,is this how you would want to be treated? I know she wouldn't of wanted to be treated the way she treated me. I am so sorry I gave a business with that kind of approach as much money I did over a year and a half. I would encourage anyone seeking out a Trailer repair facility in Sarasota to find someone who would have maybe put themselves in my position and treated the situation in a manner as if their own mother was sick. I gotta believe there are trailer business' out there that would,just not this one. read more
