I have never dealt with worse customer service in my life. My parents replaced their crestwood pool liner with Fishkill pools about three years ago. The following year, the liner was coming out at the edges in multiple places. We called them to fix the problem, and they sent over ONE person to fix the issue. The NEXT DAY, the liner came out at the seems again. This has being going on for years now, with them putting a bandaid over the problem, making us call various times throughout each season for them to come and fix it.
Fast forward to last month, we opened our pool and the SAME PROBLEM once again. I called the store today to ask for a manager and an employee said she wasn't available and if she could relay a message. I asked the employee (I didn't get her name) what the warrantee on a pool liner was and she put me on a brief hold and came back and told me the warrantee is 25 years. I then explained to her what was going on, and she handled it with professionalism and tact. It's really unfortunate I can't say the same for when the manager, Nicole, called me back a few minutes later. She started the conversation by telling me I gave the employee wrong information-- apparently, I agreed it was an in-ground liner, instead of specifying it is a crestwood liner... I understand this was my fault. I said "okay... is the warrantee for a crestwood liner astronomically different than the warrantee for an in-ground liner? Is the warrantee for a crestwood liner less than a year?" She told me she didn't know and she'd have to look into it. Interesting, because her employee took at MOST 45 seconds to find the warrantee, but the manager couldn't provide that information any time soon? The manager, Nicole, continued to say that I didn't give my address or my last name, and everything she's saying to me has the UGLIEST attitude attached to it. I told her my address and last name. She still isn't happy. I started to wonder, WHY are YOU mad???? Aren't I the one who paid for a liner that didn't last a season?! She escalated the conversation to SCREAMING. We are now yelling over the phone at the same time. What a disaster. She told me "don't berate me and my employees!" Berate? Please someone get the manager a dictionary. And I pray the conversation I had with the first employee is recorded because me and her got along swimmingly!!! The manager has not a clue about what customer service is, and let's not forget the liner they installed is garbage. WOW, I promise you, I've never felt more dissatisfied with a business in my entire life. read more
