This is a sad and unfortunate story. Please read and BEWARE!
I had an issue with my Makita multitool and brought it to them.
They said 2 weeks the latest I would have the diagnostic.
FOUR WEEKS LATER NOTHING.
So, I called them.
They couldn't find my tools; they had no idea what or when I dropped it off. If I hadn't followed up they would never have gotten back to me
So I wound up being on hold for nearly 30 minutes.
I got bounced around between some pretty rude people during this time who didn't have a clue about my tool; one guy I couldn't understand very easily due to his accent (Bit of advice, only have people who know how to pronounce English words talk on the phone to customers).
However, they did say that they had looked at and diagnosed my tool.
I came to realize they hadn't even looked at my tools.
While I was on hold they must have been running a quick diagnostic OR, as I suspect, they made up an issue figuring that I would have them repair it, then they would do the real evaluation.
So they get back on and tell me that the speed control devise is broken I need a new one. Then they gave me the price, $25 short of buying a new one!!!!!!!!!!
I said no way! That was highway robbery.
Now they could have come clean and said, sorry, we misplaced it and never looked at it. Honestly, mistakes happen and I would have been a bit upset, but I would have been okay with their honesty and perhaps even written a positive review because of it.
But they lied; they made something up on the spot due to the fact that they were not qualified to diagnose the problem while I was on hold for 30 minutes.
So I ordered the $22 part.
Now in the mean time I bought a new tool because it was taking so long and, now I can see, they had forgotten about me. I needed it for work.
So today, being stuck inside, I decided to finally get around to fixing my multitool and having a backup.
It took 7 minutes to install the part from disassemble to close. A child could do what they wanted $75 to do. (Plus tax, tip and bottle deposit)
I hit the switch FREAKING NOTHING!!!!!!!
THEY LIED!!!!!!!!!!
They never looked at it so they made up some part that was broken and it turned out not to be that part!
What kind of human DEGENERATE would do that? Inept and inconsiderate with a total absence of decency and moral obligation. People like this should not be allowed to operate a business, when in fact the customer does not come first, when it is obvious through their blundering ineptness that they cannot even manage their accounts, when they have proven to be unreliable, insincere and fraudulent...
Regrettably I am not permitted to use the fowl language that comes to mind.
So, I spent $25 + tax on their BOGUS repair summary AND I bought a part, I can't return, that I DIDN'T EVEN NEED!!! Because of them!
These guys don't have an iota about what they are doing.
Summary take-away points:
-They lie: they told me they looked at my tool when they couldn't even find record of me dropping it off.
-They are inept: they couldn't even diagnose the problem correctly.
-They obviously charge exorbitantly: they wanted nearly the price of a brand new tool for a simple 7 minute repair.
-If you don't follow up on your tool you may never get it back
-They are thieves: they charged me for a service I NEVER RECEIVED!
I WANT MY MONEY BACK YOU DELINQUENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want them to pay for the part I ordered that is now going out in the trash along with my defective tool because by now it definitely is too expensive to repair with all the money I have invested in it. Just have to wash my hands of it.
Advice:
Don't believe them
Don't use them
Don't trust them
Go elsewhere
If they give you a price you can get it cheaper through someone else who actually knows what he's doing! read more
