If I could give Southern Service a zero rating, I would give them a negative rating. My AC unit stopped working during Memorial Day weekend (May 27th). I contacted my home warranty company to resolve my issue and I specifically expressed to them that I did not want Southern Services to service my home. However, the Rep ensured me that this time would be different from the last time that they came to my home. Mike ensured them that he would send his "master tech" to make sure that the job was completed correctly. The guy that works for Southern Services didn't come out until a week later, only to realize that "the home warranty" provided the wrong part (compressor). The guy told me that the part was wrong and that he would go to the warehouse and exchange it for the right one and that he would be back in an hour. Long story short, the hour turned into 2 and a half weeks!! We went back and forth with the home warranty company about why the guy that came out on June 7th and promised to return never returned and also took my old compressor with him. While waiting on Southern Services to fix my AC unit or receive the part or whatever was going on, I explain to the home warranty that I was tired of waiting because we have had weeks with 100+ heat index. I looked into hiring another HVAC company and they came out and realized the guy from Southern Services took my compressor. So the new company was going to charge me 3x what the home warranty was willing to pay. I immediately called Mike to understand why his guy took my compressor with him if the warranty company had issued the wrong part. His respond to me was that "that thing was shot and it didn't work anyways". Very rude and unprofessional. Mike and this guy tells me (the customer) that he feels like he didn't have to contact my husband and I with an update. He stated, "so I am supposed to contact you all everyday until I get the part?".. YES!!! I am a CUSTOMER!! After weeks of no AC, we were assigned a different Rep from the home warranty company and she did an amazing job in following up and updating us on when Southern Services would return to complete the job. On June 20th, the same rude, unprofessional guy came to my home to complete the job only to be rude and tell me "you just need to pay because I got other jobs to do". He was very rude in explaining the job that he completed to me. I wouldn't be surprised if we have issues with this unit again soon. His eyes were blood shot red and he smelled like a barrier of alcohol. I ended up calling the Owner (Mike) and he was unapologetic and rude as well. This company is very unprofessional and do not need to be included in home warranty vendors list. I have cancelled my home warranty as well, but even if I needed future service, CUSTOMERS beware! SOUTHERN SERVICES is not a good company! read more
