    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. Their communication is terrible--none of them seem to know what the others are doing. Here are just a few of the issues I encountered: 1. 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. 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!

    From beginning to end, our experience with BBQ Renew was top notch. We had some burners that needed replacing on our old Weber grill. Scheduling was a piece of cake. 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 rarely review service's in my home but I felt it important to advise others regarding just how bad this company really is. Please read their negative reviews and you will see the reviews match mine. A technician arrived at my home to clean my LYNX BBQ, a very expensive model. When completed the BBQ was very dirty and that was only the beginning. The technician had removed screws and bolts during the service but he never replaced them. He also removed a factory installed heat shield that he also did not replace. Wired in a power supply and butchered the wires. Oh also we later found this company sold us a $90 power supply for $285.00, and the worst part of that was I later had my original power supply tested by an electrical professional who told me my original power supply was in good working condition. Avoid these guys at all costs. I have to have another company come out to repair and then finish the cleaning of this BBQ. The picture provided is after their service was completed! Finally the owner Mike, he's exactly like a used car salesman. Nice and helpful until you make the purchase! Get ready Mike always leaves a nasty response to negative reviews, on the phone he make a threatening comment and I advised him police would be called if he ever showed up here again.

    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.

    In response to your comment that you have been in business since 2008, see attached photo that depict that BBQ Renew LLC formation date of 10/2013 from California Secretary of State and hence if you subtract current year of 2022 minus year 2013, it makes nine years in business as I truthfully stated in my original review. The simple reference to registration of a domain name of BBQRENEW.com does not mean that you were operating a business; it simply means that you registered a domain name. And if you suggest that you were operating your cash grab operating business from 2008 to 2013, then you must have been operating without any business license as the Orange County recorder has no records of BBQ Renew or BBQ Renew LLC operating in Orange county from year 2008 to 2013 on Orange County FBN site. The first filing for BBQ Renew LLC at OC Recorder office was on 10/2013 and not 2008 as you claim! So if any homeowner is planning to use BBQ Renew LLC for any services, be prepared for lousy job, getting upsell on unnecessary repairs or simply getting ripped off as the operation is extremely shady and unethical. Furthermore this business seems not to be an authorized in repair/retail sale for the majority of brands that are they advertising on the BBQ Renew website. If one pay close attention, majority of positive reviews seems to be from yelpers with 0 to 2 reviews which could be an indication of fake reviews: Maybe some of these reviews are legit and some fake, who really knows! But based on the ownership responses on any negative reviews and that is the only thing that he seems that he is good at, it seems that everyone that complains about his shady business practices is a liar: ) However, it seems that he is the common denominator in all the scams that is happening to homeowners who call him for his shady repair works. So, now that you have been fully exposed on all your shady business practices and scams, say CHEESE and smile on camera rather than typing "Happy Grilling" :)

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.
