This was my experience with Falls Vacuum business located on Portage Trail. I have a Dyson V11 that I purchased in 2023. I cleaned it, changed the filter, then put it back together, then realized that the brush was not spinning. My fiancée tried to figure out what was going on but we both could not figure it out.
I looked online for a vacuum repair shop and Falls Vacuum came up. March 3rd, I took my vacuum to this place, the owner was with a costumer when I walked in and said fill out a tag and leave it on the counter with my vacuum and he will call me in a couple hours, which he did and said that it's going to cost $315, I debated at first, then I said go ahead and fix it. He said it will be done on Saturday, March 7th and that he will call me.
I did not hear from him on Saturday, I waited until March 10th and gave him a call. He said, come to the store and that my vacuum is done. I went to pick it up after work, right away I knew this was not my vacuum because it's says, V8 on the stick and I checked the battery, it also says V8, I told him this is not my vacuum, he said, it is, I said no it's not, mine is a V11 and this is obviously not it because it's a V8. He then said to me, I am giving you a problem-free vacuum and that my V11 is really a V7, which would make the one he is giving me a better one. I said to him, I don't want a problem free vacuum, I want my vacuum that I gave you. He then said that maybe the tech put the wrong stick on the vacuum, I said what about the battery and I also said that there was nothing wrong with the stick, why did they have to change it. He said that the vacuum does not leave the shop and insisted that this is my vacuum. He said he would investigate it and asked me to come in a couple days.
I went back after two days; this man is once again giving me the same vacuum a V8 that does not belong to me. I told him that this was not my vacuum, showed him my receipt of what I had purchased, he said he would ask the tech because he took the vacuum home to show his father who is an electrician. Mind you he said the last time I was in the shop that the vacuums do not leave the shop.
He again asked me to come back. When I got home, after thinking about what this man was doing. I called him and said, don't fix my vacuum I just want it back and asked when I can pick it up. He said we are closed on Wednesday (which is another lie) and to come on Thursday and he will have my vacuum.
Went to pick up my vacuum on Thursday and once again, he was giving me the V8 vacuum. I asked him why he is insisting on giving me a vacuum that does not belong to me, I asked him where the vacuum is, I dropped off to him. He said this is the one. We went back and forth; told him I am not taking a vacuum that does not belong to me. He said I will order a new stick and battery to get this over with and asked me to come back again for the fifth time.
I said to him, "I don't understand why he cannot produce my vacuum and insisting on giving me someone else. I left the store frustrated.
I went back for the 5th time, he handed me a brand-new stick, no battery, he said he ordered it but could not find it (another lie). At this point, I am just so frustrated, tired of this man scamming me and making me feel stupid, we argued, I asked for the tag that I filled out when I dropped of my vacuum and he could not produce it, he asked me to leave the store and threatened to call the police, I told him to go ahead and call the police so se can settle this, he said I am not going to waste my time on that. He asked if I was married, insulted me, said I was derailed, threatened to physically remove me from his store if I don't voluntarily leave.
I should have read the reviews on this business. Upon reading yelp, he has done this to a lot of people. This man is dishonest, takes advantage of people, I honestly don't know how he can sleep at night knowing that he is cheating/scamming people.
This was the worse experience I have ever had dealing with a local business.
This business does not even deserve one star, I give it double zero.
