Dealing with OC spas and hot tubs has got to be the easiest decision I've made in a very long time!…read more I bought a house back in June and it had a hot tub but the cover was trashed and the corner pillows we're growing gunk on them but otherwise the spa was in great shape. I called Ryan at OC spas and hot tubs and texted him a few photos and not only did he have the exact cover and pillows in stock but also at a great price and was delivered the next day. Yep, I'm a happy camper and now the spa looks brand new! Thanks a million and Ryan and your team and you're the first place I'll call when I need replacement parts.

I was referred to Nick after another pool contractor failed to deliver on his obligations and left my project incomplete and in total disarray. Nick met with us and provided a very honest scope of work, a realistic budget, and a reasonable timeline for completion. We overcame equipment shortages, material shortages, supply chain disruptions, and came in on time and under budget. We are beyond pleased with the pool ans spa. He saved our project and became a great friend in the process. Thanks Nick!

He's become a personal friend and is always so positive.

David the General Manager was extremely helpful and friendly ! He was able to quickly diagnose what was wrong with our 3 year old Pro Maxx pool sweep. Because of him, I will be back to this Leslie's! Leslie's is very lucky to have him as a General Manager !!!

1/5 -- Shockingly Bad Customer Service…read more I genuinely can't remember the last time I received customer service this bad. I walked into Leslie's for three simple things: a water test, DE, and replacement chemicals for my home test kit. The employee said hello, tested my water, printed the results, handed me the paper...and literally said NOTHING. No explanation of the results. No recommendations. No "your water looks good" or "here's what you need." Not even "anything else I can help you with?" He just moved on to another customer. So I actually had to GET BACK IN LINE to ask for the replacement test bottles I had come in for. He told me they were about $8 each. I asked what an entirely new test kit cost, and he said around $30. He then rang up the individual bottles--which totaled around $30 anyway--with zero effort to explain which option made more sense. And the DE I came in to buy? Apparently that was asking too much. He never asked about it, never rang it up, and never even attempted to find out what else I needed. Then I noticed what was open on the store computer: his homework. Suddenly the complete lack of interest in helping customers made a lot more sense. Apparently writing a paper was the priority, and customers were just an interruption. I'm not expecting five-star concierge service at a pool supply store. I am expecting someone to actually DO THEIR JOB. Explain the water test you just performed. Ask what the customer needs. Make a recommendation. Ring up the products they came in to purchase. Maybe even demonstrate some basic courtesy. The most frustrating part is that I walked into a specialty pool store specifically because I wanted advice and products. If the entire experience is going to consist of silently handing me a printout and making me repeatedly ask for help while you work on homework, there is absolutely no reason to shop here instead of ordering everything online. Truly awful customer service. Leslie's should be embarrassed that this is the experience customers are getting in one of their stores. I certainly won't be going back to this location.

We worked with Jim from Custom Spas Direct a few years ago to get a brand new, 6 seater hot tub for…read moreour new house and we were super happy with our purchase! Not only did they give us a fair price on a Vita Spas Envie but they also financed it for us at 0% interest. We've now had this tub now for many years and have made so many memories with our friends in the backyard and gained relief for our sore muscles since our purchase in 2022! Thank you! Highly recommend Custom Spas Direct in Upland! Check them out!

During my research process, I read numerous online postings advising that a nearby, trustworthy…read moredealer is the most important aspect when buying a hot tub. Although I was about to purchase a hot tub from a large, well known dealer in Corona, I decided to look at Custom Spas Direct, which has good online reviews and happens to be very close to our house. I'm glad I did. I was not familiar with the Vita spa brand that Custom Spas Direct sells. There's very little information available online. After doing some digging, I determined that Vita is a decent, mid-range spa with competitive pricing. Nothing fancy, but it's built with good components from companies like Balboa Water Group. Dealing with Custom Spas Direct has been fantastic. It's a small company and we interacted directly with Jim Galpin, the owner. Jim is a straightforward guy and he was very helpful in choosing a spa. Since I was unfamiliar with Vita, I had a lot of questions and he patiently answered all of them. He quickly responded whenever I sent him a text with a question or request. After the purchase, he was super flexible with regard to delivery, setup timing, coordinating with the electrician's schedule, etc. The delivery and setup was quick and well done. The installer did a good job answering all of my questions. We've had the spa six months and have had a couple of minor issues. One was probably due to user error on my part and the other was not. In both cases, Jim responded to my texts immediately and quickly resolved my issue, even during a holiday week. I'm so glad I purchased from a local dealer that provides such fantastic service after the sale. I'm sure a larger dealer would not have given us the same treatment. Thanks Jim! Five stars!

I let him know what repairs others had recommended, and he confirmed that the seals and impeller needed to be replaced. However, he said the seal plate was fine, and did not need to be replaced at this time. I appreciated his honesty, as he could have charged us more for an unnecessary repair. While he was at our house, I also noted that one of the valves leaked when we ran the spa, and he quickly diagnosed and addressed the issue. Finally, after he left, I noticed that one of the connections (which he had removed to repair the pump and motor) was leaking. He ended up coming back multiple times to correct the problem (he ended up replacing a pinched o-ring), and he even checked in a few days later to ensure everything was working smoothly. Super nice guy, he was very knowledgeable (he mentioned having experience as a Pentair technician), and honest, and his pricing felt more than fair. While I hope we don't have any more issues with our pool or pool equipment, I would not hesitate to hire Marcus again in the future.
