    This place is a total scam! Do yourself a favor--look for a company with better Yelp reviews. You'll save money and avoid the frustration! They charge you for on-site inspections, and if you pay by card, they impose ridiculously high fees, essentially forcing you to do business with them. On top of that, they find all kinds of excuses to overcharge for inspection fees. Last time, they charged me $160 for an inspection, which couldn't even be fully applied toward the service--it's clear they're money-hungry to the extreme. The business is run by the owner, his daughter, and a technician. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Their communication is terrible--none of them seem to know what the others are doing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Here are just a few of the issues I encountered: 1. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Terrible Appointment System: They take days to respond to appointment requests. If you don't reply instantly, they'll ghost you for several days, resulting in an appointment being pushed back by three weeks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 2. Suspicious Payment Practices: They insisted we pay in cash to get a discount, which makes me strongly suspect they're evading taxes! 3. Ridiculous Price Increases: Initially, they quoted $241 to add an igniter. During the first service, we opted for just cleaning, which cost us $1,300 after a so-called discount (and we had to pay in cash). When we asked them to come back to install the igniter later, their daughter quoted $425, tacked on various made-up charges, and even added a $99 service call fee--just for a 10-minute igniter installation that didn't require any inspection. In summary, they overcharge at every turn. Avoid this place unless you want your wallet emptied with nothing to show for it! The only positive note is that the technician cleaned the floor after completing the work (it took about three hours for one person to finish), but even that doesn't make up for how awful the owner and their main contact person are. They're rude, unprofessional, and blatantly overcharge. The owner even claimed that all the negative Yelp reviews are written by "bad people," which is laughable! Do yourself a favor--look for a company with better Yelp reviews. You'll save money and avoid the frustration!

    Mike was a champ today taking care of our grill.  Thanks Mike!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]From beginning to end, our experience with BBQ Renew was top notch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had some burners that needed replacing on our old Weber grill. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Scheduling was a piece of cake.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They had someone at our place reasonably quickly and the repair work was done very well. We could not have asked for better service. Two other repair companies we called first flaked out on us. Mike literally put his blood, sweat and tears into this repair. If you have a BBQ issue, just call BBQ Renew!

    Grease left on the concrete in the back yard, down the side yard and the driveway. $575 for mediocre work and a mess.

    Clean up before you leave. For the cost I shouldn't have to call back and ask for a revisit.

    I've been living in my home for about two years now and had not used my outdoor BBQ because I was so disgusted with how gross the previous owners left it. I finally had enough and decided to get both the side burners and the main BBQ appliances professionally cleaned. I stumbled across BBQ Renew through a Google search. I liked that they were upfront about their pricing and that they were a family owned business. I decided to contact them through their text message platform and quickly received a response. We were able to schedule a cleaning for the next week. The technician (I believe his name was Chris) arrived and quickly got to work. I appreciated that he brought and used all of his own tools, including a hose and vaccum cleaner, rather than using my hose which he could have easily accessed. Chris worked for over 3 hours and transformed my once horrifying grill into something beautiful. He even took the time to polish the exterior and the doors below. Chris also went the extra mile and vacuumed out the space below the grill as well. He definitely didn't need to take that extra step and I appreciate him so much for helping me out there. I highly recommend this company for anyone needing a little help with their BBQ appliances! Thank you Chris for making me want to use my grill!

    This is my Lynx grill and it is 18 years old.

    Pictures say it all. Blown away with what Chris accomplished with my 18 year old Lynx. This is the second time they have cleaned my grill and both times so impressed!! TY

    Screen shot from OC County Clerk showing BBQ Renew has never filed for a FICTIOUS Name to legally operate a business in 2008 as they claim.

    My husband and I first met Andrew (Andy) when we went to Home Depot looking for closet doors for…read moremultiple rooms in our home. He was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely interested in finding exactly what we needed. He immediately stood out as one of the best sales professionals we have ever worked with. Our experience with him was so positive that when we later decided to replace two exterior doors in our home, we specifically went back to Home Depot to work with Andy and ultimately purchased both doors through him. Even though our contractors had offered to get the exterior doors for us through their manufacturer connections and handle the installation at a better price. We still chose Home Depot because of Andy. There may always be another option or a better deal somewhere, but trust, reliability, and exceptional service are much harder to find. Andy genuinely listens to his customers. He is caring, approachable, knowledgeable, and never pushy. He understands what you need, gives thoughtful and trustworthy advice, and consistently follows through. He truly under-promises and over-delivers. That kind of trust creates loyal customers. His follow-up was exceptional as well. Even when we couldn't make a couple of the appointments, he remained patient, continued following up, and kept providing us with additional options. He never gave up on helping us, and his persistence always felt genuine rather than sales-driven. We have literally raved about Andy to our friends and family. He deserves to be recognized and hopefully compensated accordingly for the exceptional service, integrity, and dedication he brings to his job.

I grew up in Mission Viejo and have always enjoyed shopping here because they have a great selection of products and the staff is consistently friendly and helpful.

He was patient, kind, and took the time to help us find everything we needed. He even found a few items we had been unable to locate the first time around, which was incredibly helpful. Trevor is a perfect example of outstanding customer service. Because of experiences like this, I will continue coming back to this Home Depot for all of my home improvement needs.

I was told to go check out the plumbing aisle since that's where all the glue is. So I went over to the plumbing aisle and checked just in case. Of course the item wasn't there. I also tried to flag down an associate but he couldn't scurry away fast enough. I literally ran after him shouting EXCUSE ME!! CAN YOU HELP ME FIND A PRODUCT??? The associate couldn't muster any sense of concealing annoyance. He told me they only sell mulch glue online and walked away without any further assistance. Like help me get some heavyweight gravel off of the shelves. Check other items I needed help with. Nothing. And the parking here also sucks. The aisles are also very cluttered and brimming with end cap aisle products. Also don't bother attempting to purchase any terra cotta potters.

I don't know who thought it was a good idea to even sell it in the condition it was in when I placed an order as an online pickup. All in all, much better to drive the extra distance to visit Lowes in San Clemente. The employees are happy to assist and the store is much cleaner and easier to navigate.

It was not busy and there were about 3-4 younger guys (different races) standing around talking. It was about 3-4 minutes until a taller man (Caucasian) who greeted me and asked if I had some questions about a WiFi modem. I told him I did and (on his headset) asked if someone could help me out (since he was in the middle of helping a customer). No one came and the 3-4 younger guys were still gathered around talking. When I was within 6 feet of them, they all saw me, but instead of asking me if I needed any help, they asked the Caucasian customer who was leaving if he needed any help. I had the intention of buying a WiFi modem, but they refused service to me and I felt so belittled that I was about to leave. Luckily, the taller man - who just got done assisting a customer - came back and approached me and answered all of my questions. Because of his help, I ended up purchasing the WiFi modem. BTW, there was another Asian customer who did not receive any help, but luckily the taller man acknowledged the customer and helped him outs. Unfortunately I did not catch the taller man's name. I had to write this review because I believe this was a case of blatant discrimination based on my race and the way I looked, especially when they clearly saw me (because I made eye contact with them) and they refused to help me, but acknowledged the Caucasian customer who was leaving. I should have asked for the taller man's name because he was so helpful (5 stars for him) but because the blatant discrimination, I'm giving 1 star.
