Very bad customer customer service. Doesn't return your calls. They don't train their employees very well and say they clean baskets and don't. Don't waste your money with this company. read more

I highly recommend this company! Zack is great! I needed my pool pump motor replaced, pool light replaced and a 30 year old heater to be removed. I sent requests for bids to 5 companies on Yelp and 4 of them kind of blew me off... ya know... send us pictures, send us your personal info... blah blah without any commitments to come out and look. Zack was straight forward and said when he could be out to take a look with a free estimate (sat morning). He was running a little late when he came out but was courteous and notified me ahead of time that he'd be a little late... so no big deal. He was very reasonable with his pricing (I had already looked up the pricing for parts before he got there) and was very happy he didn't try to up sell me or pad his labor costs. I said: great, when can you come out? Expecting him to say in a week or two (like the other pool companies usually do). Nope. He said: Monday afternoon. I was thrilled with the quick timeframe. He showed up on Monday and got to work. He got the light replaced first (which was no easy task... the ledge on that side of the pool is raised several feet higher which makes it difficult to access the light without getting in the water). Not only did he replace the bulb but also the housing and cable that ran under the cement to the light switch. Then he took out the 30 year old heater (that sucker weighed over 100lbs easy) and it's 100 degrees out today... also not an easy task. He fixed the pipes and then started working on the motor. He got that installed and the thing is sooo much quieter than the old one. As we were looking at the pump we noticed some water leaking from one of the connections into the pump. So he says that he can fix that (mind you, it almost 6pm... I'm sure he wanted to go home and get out of the heat, but he took the extra step to give exceptional service). He went to his truck found a new seal and fixes the connection. Didn't even charge extra for it. Really, really happy with his performance! World class service! Will definitely use again! read more

My pool pump motor died on Black Friday of Thanksgiving weekend. Ugh!! I immediately called who I had used before, which was Mid Cities Pools who claimed to be open. But never heard back. I'm actually glad I found Pony Express instead. I liked working with Zach the owner. He is easy going and polite and did use his mask when I was around too. I asked for an estimate ahead of time and he had no issues giving one. That made selecting his business over others very easy. He also will let you pay via credit cards or cash/check. Again very easy to work with over others. When Mid Cities Pools never called back on Friday or Saturday, I started worrying about the freeze warnings I heard about coming on Sunday. The one thing I did learn is no one could actually replace the motor on a Sunday, or at least none that would work in the Mid-Cities area. Because of the freeze warning, Zach offered to at least come out and bleed the lines in case of freezing. I felt that was such a cut above others. I ended up not having him do that, but I can tell you that after finding out how few pool repair companies work on a Sunday in a major cities like the DFW area, I was shocked I couldn't pay anyone extra even to do the work. So pray you don't have pool motor issues with a freeze coming on the weekend. I would have given Zach 5 stars if he could have replaced the motor on Sunday. But I would give 4 1/2 if I could. I'm not sure how with Yelp. In the end I found the Pony Express's pricing and the length of time it took for Zach to complete everything to be right on point with what Home advisors and Angie list said it would take. Bottomline around 3 hours of labor(include drive time) with the pump motor ran $535 w/tax. Again, that was at the reasonable rate listed by Home Advisor and Angies List. I had one company price me $1200 and not even for getting it in an emergency on Sunday either. That would just be the price. So as you can see I really looked into finding someone to do the work and for the going rate. Zach was that person. I even plan on having him come back to fix another issue I was starting to have with my automatic chlorination system. He was able to look at it and give me 2 options for fixing it. My pool was installed in 2000 and this is the original system. The motor was more than 10 years old so I knew it would go soon. All in all I'm happy I found a new pool company to use, because even after calling and leaving more than one message for Mid Cities pools(one on Friday at 1pm and one on Saturday too) they finally called back on Monday. They called to say they no longer do pool equipment repairs. If they had a voicemail system and not an old answering machine they might have gotten my message on Friday and called me back ASAP. I left messages on both their phone lines too. Remember this is late November with a freeze warning coming that had me starting to panic. Mid Cities just did nothing during working hours and their machine didn't say they were closed on Friday either just closed over the weekend. I honestly think you will be very happy if you use this company. Zach really was very knowledgeable too. Thanks Zach for a job well done. read more

They came out and cleaned my very dirty pool. Zach was professional and knowledgeable

We needed our pump repaired and called several places and Pony Express was able to get to us the quickest. The price and service was very reasonable. The tech (Zack) was very knowledgeable and so we hired him to do our cleaning weekly. He is awesome. Pool has never looked better! read more
