A little over 2 weeks ago we hired this company to come out and figure out what was going on with our pool system, as we were not getting circulation. They sent out a guy who was very knowledgeable, professional, and a great and friendly attitude. He was able to repair things that needed done, did it in a timely manner, and provided quality work.
Unfortunately, the problem was misdiagnosed and was discovered just recently after my family and I were out of town for the last two weeks. I called them back up asking if they can look at it again since it didnt get fixed the first time, and thats when they wanted to charge me again for a visit unless the things he fixed previously didnt work. I explained to them everything he fixed is working great, and they did a great job, but I think the problem was just misdiagnosed and something else must be wrong. I told them I dont agree with them charging us $75 to look at something that should have been caught initially, and the very nice person on my phone deferred to the boss, Tab.
Now here is where the customer service goes south. I explained to Tab that I think the causation of the problem was misdiagnosed, and that I would like them to take a second look at it, but didnt feel the $75 charge was warranted because this is the same problem they came out to fix the first time, but missed something.
Tab asked why I havent reported it during the last two weeks. Legitimate question, and I let him know because we were out of town and unaware the problem occured. His response was an indirect implication that I was lying to him by saying, "Oh of course you were. If I had a dollar every time a customer told me that in my 20 years of doing this." Really? That's how you treat a customer who just spent $900 two weeks ago and is willing to pay for another repair? Did he want me to show him my travel documents to prove it or something? I would have shown him our travel documents for Houston, Texas and camping in northern Arizona just to prove it to him and knock him off his pedestal of arrogance if he asked.
So their technican Madison (sorry if I spelled the name wrong!) came back out and found the problem he overlooked the first time. He fixed it, we paid for the repair and that was that. Very friendly guy and knows how to be professional. If only Tab in his "20 years" only knew how to treat customers with respect they would have a 5 star review. He should learn from Madison and the person who answers the phone.
All in all, the technician they sent out was fantastic, the person on the phone I spoke with was fantastic, but the treatment from the owner to his customer was pretty bad. Not worth using them again when I could find a company who treats their paying customers with respect. read more
