Mark is the nicest and easiest person to deal with when it comes to Spas - His service is almost to good to be true... I bought my spa back in 2012 after researching basically everywhere and I am so glad I purchased from him (Spa Wholesaler). Mark was straight forward about the product - the pros, the cons, good/bad, the benefits of each - now I live in Amsterdam, NY and could have easily went with my local retailer but I found their prices to be much, much higher for the spas and they couldn't recommend handymen if there ever was a problem. Numerous places I went to seemed pushy trying to sell sell sell, when you deal with Mark you are not dealing with a robot - 4 years old now my Spa still runs and looks as if it's brand new. As for handymen/service for the tub, anytime in the past years I have an issue or question regarding the tub (which you will) either Mark or his partner Jeff answer their phone or quickly get right back to me. There is no waiting, no trying to sell me anything extra. They've even spent time on the phone talking me through simple issues or diagnosing a problem. I had to replace a seal once that came loose, they could have easily said no, we need to come fix it for $$, let's schedule an appointment yada, yada, but instead they talked me through it for free and on their own personal time. Very honest people. Can't say enough good things. I only write such a lengthy review because I am grateful to their business for how easy they make it to own a hot tub/spa. Wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

Well, when we bought our spa last November I wrote a review on the sales process and how Mark sold us what we wanted and what best suited our needs. No pressure-just good advice. Lots of people are good on the sales side. He told us when we bought the tub if we ever had a problem he would try to troubleshoot with us over the phone and save us a service call but if that didn't work we could expect him in 24-48 hours. Based on our experience with other companies, we just did not really believe it but it sounded good. Well, we had something happen and he was as good as his word. He called back promptly, we tried phone troubleshooting (no luck) and within 48 hours of our first call he was here to help us out. Turns out, it may not be a spa problem at all but something in our electrical service. Far from being upset that he drove an hour for what is likely not his problem, he actually went through the tub to ensure that everything was set up properly, tightened up some things that had come a bit loose in 10 months or so of frequent use and told us to call him whenever we needed him. We have been conditioned to accept bad service for a good price but with Spa Wholesaler you get both service and price. Thank you! read more

Thanks to Holly for the incredible 5 star review! "I don't think my husband and I have ever had a better purchasing experience. We made an appointment with Jeff. He spent so much time with us, explaining every aspect of hot tubs and what he preferred about each one and what features are not at all what they're cracked up to be. Finding out everything we needed to know didn't even feel like shopping, it felt more like talking with a good friend. It was interesting to hear why they only carry quality products and how word of mouth is more valuable than anything. He's knowledgeable and proud of their customer service and reputation, and rightfully so. He and his crew thoughtfully positioned & installed the tub. It was a very refreshing experience from start to finish to deal with a company that is so ethical. You'll be amazed at how great the prices are and you'll be a loyal customer. Forever." PS: And when you need filters or have questions about chemicals, you'll get the very best advice from Mark and the very best prices on that stuff also! read more

Mark and his team have been wonderful to work with. I had been shopping around for a hot-tub for a few weeks at the end of 2020. Had visited or called pretty much all of the local stores in the capital region, this was very frustrating for me as the sales associates ether talked over me or couldn't answer basic questions about energy consumption or the manufacturing process for the products. Most sales persons just want to steer me to the most expensive modules. I had seen Marks website and on a whim called to make an appointment. Best decision ever, My husband and I took the drive down to the spa wholesalers warehouse and we meet with Mark.  He answered all of our questions (the man is a deep well of knowledge for the product) and most impressive He Did Not try to sell us something that we didn't want.  Don't waste your time or money with those other guys, Mark and his team are the real deal. One very happy customer. Today is the big day, Tub get delivered read more

This is the best place for sales, service and knowledgeable, honest opinion. I would never go anywhere else. Mark is the best! I went there anticipating purchasing a new tub. My current tub is older and needed some repair. He gave me an honest opinion. When he came to the house he said the tub was in really good shape, better than he expected. I could get several more years out of it before deciding to buy a new tub. It needed some maintenance but that was still less expensive than a new tub. There was no high pressure sales pitch to purchase anything, in fact he talked me out of it!! He came back with the items he needed, made the repairs and my tub was up and running. His prices are below reasonable, any place else would have been twice as much and I doubt as good. He is courteous, professional and absolutely knows what he is doing. They truly know the meaning of customer service. Thank you so much. M , Colonie read more

If you live in the upstate greater Albany region and looking for a hot tub then look no further. Our wife and I split our time between Staten Island and Edinburg NY. We have a Hot Springs Spa in Staten Island. We decided to buy a spa for our upstate home as well. After some research we visited The Spa Wholesaler. Jeff and Mark sold us an Artesian South Seas spa. Great price and excellent warrant. We run it 24/7 all year round. Temperature in the Adirondacks can be -20 in the winter. They delivered the spa to our door and helped lift it onto our deck. Gave us a startup kit with chemicals and top and stairs. That was 6 years ago. Not one issue since. The cover got a little waterlogged and stitching started to deteriorate so we just bought a new one. Got a heavier duty one with more insulation thickness. Excellent. If you need parts or service these guys are Johnny on the Spot. read more

It is just the right time of year to get a hot tub installed! Mark and crew at The Spa Wholesaler will take all the guess work out of your decision making. After extensive research ( on line, in person, at showrooms and talking to hot tub owners ) I found The Spa Wholesaler site and called Mark. He is professional, low key, knowledgeable and easy to deal with. I walked in thinking I knew what I wanted. He listened carefully and, respecting my budget, guided me to the perfect choice for my hearts desire. Mark or one of his associates answer their phone without having to hit numbers or leave messages, they work within a reasonable timetable and they do what they say they will do. Old fashioned values and up to the minute experience. I am so happy to be doing business with them. Save yourself time and money and call them first. Thank you Mark and crew. read more

These guys are the absolute best. Mark has helped me in the past with my tub, but last November we had a terrible storm where four power poles snapped at once. The power surged and blew out my motherboard so even when the power came back on the tub did not work. Unfortunately temperatures plummeted and the tub froze solid. I was in a panic. Mark came out ON THANKSGIVING weekend to see what need to be done. He wrote the estimate explained the insurance process to me and I had a new tub within 12 days! Even the insurance lady told me that his pricing was more than fair! Jeff came out and removed the old tub and installed the new one. There service is second to none! I can not thank them enough for helping me fix a scary issue during a trying time. ABSOLUTELY the best spa dealer in the capital district. Thanks GUYS read more

My husband and I purchased a tub from Mark. We saw the ad in the Savings Source. After going to many home shows and dealing with all of the sales calls and 'we are the best' attitude, we decided to call the Spa Wholesaler. Mark was great. He spoke to us not as a salesman but as 'this is what it is' . He showed us several options. End result he was able to give us the best price and a great tub. That was 5 years ago. We have since referred several folks to him. Additionally he has been great to do future business with in that we go to him for all supplies - much cheaper and convenient than any retailer. He is always available too for questions. I would highly recommend Spa Wholesaler as they are the best for Value, quality and service! Meg and Paul K. read more

Mark and Jeff are straightforward, super knowledgeable, and passionate about their business - it was a real pleasure purchasing my first hot tub, even in the extreme conditions the pandemic has put us all in! And they didn't overpromise on timing! How refreshing!! They explained - and showed us, thanks to their uniquely stocked showroom - the real differences you find in hot tub quality and construction out there - and they stand by their products with continued service and product supply. I feel confident I'll be enjoying my new hot tub for years to come, and have someone to guide me through any hiccups along the way. If you're in the New York Capital region, this is the place to go (and seriously: don't even think of purchasing something like this online...)! read more

So helpful! My husband and I purchased our hot tub in August of 2017. Mark was great with helping us to find the perfect tub for our needs. We had shopped at bigger stores that offered different finance options, but in the end the Spa Wholesaler ended up being by far the best value. The hot tub was delivered shortly after we ordered it. We have needed chemicals several times since our purchase and Mark has always been helpful in leading us to what we need exactly. He doesn't mark up the prices at all. There have been a couple of troubleshooting issues. Whenever my husband has called, Mark always answers his phone and seems to know the exact problem and how to fix it all over the phone! I highly recommend using The Spa Wholesaler! read more

OH MY GOD, They BOTH answer their phones!! Mark was great! No hard sales line. The funniest thing was when I told him which one I wanted, he said "you don't have to buy it today I'll give you the information and you can think about it....." Really? A sales guy that says that goes to the top of my list!! He has samples of spa brands that he won't sell to show you why he won't sell them and then he explained the differences between the tubs he has available. He was knowledgeable about every aspect of operation. It was VERY educational. I knew I wanted a hot tub and decided which one. When I called Jeff for delivery he got back to me the same day and we arranged delivery in 2 days, that's right, 2 days! I highly recommend these guys!! read more

These guys have saved me, and my swim spa, 2x now. I would, without a doubt, have the most expensive raised garden bed in my yard if not for them. I bought my swim spa from a company in PA which means no local pool or hot tub supplier will touch it with a 10 foot pole. "Did you buy it from us? No? Okay well sorry no, we can't help." I must have heard that 15x before finding the Spa Wholesaler crew. This year and last they came out to service my tub and return my sanity. Professional, knowledgeable (about ALL tubs!) and hard working, they fixed 2 issues that would have otherwise led me to drain the thing and start planting pumpkins in it. I want to give them all the stars on yelp. They are a godsend to swim spa devotees like myself. read more

I had purchased a spa from the Altamont fairgrounds spa blowout sale in 2014. My heater pump went 3 weeks ago and I had contacted the companies service dept which after trying 6 different numbers, i had finally reached someone who i left a message with and got a return phone back. Now 3 weeks later, many emails and phone calls to them, i still dont have any a new heater pump which they said they would send me. I started to panic with the cold/freezing upcoming weather this week and Mark had calmed my fears and said he would be out the very next day to bring me a new pump and fix my issue. He even offered advice on draining the tub. I cant wait to write a follow up review after the work is done tomorrow. Thanks Mark!!!!! Cheri N. read more

Wonderful customer service... I purchased a house that came with a hot tub, the previous owners allowed the pipes to freeze. We had to take apart the entire hot tub and fix the leaks, The Spa Wholesaler walked my dad through the entire process (and we hadn't previously purchased anything from them and the hot tub was not originally purchased from them) but they still helped us without a problem... about a year later, our heater didnt seem to be working. I called and they trouble shooted the problem with me over the phone. He knew exactly what the issue was and helped me so quick. He had no reason to help, but he did. It saved me a lot of time and money and I'm very appreciative of that! Highly recommended!!! read more

Make sure to speak with these guys before buying a spa!! Mark gives it to you staright, no bull, no frills, no hard sell, just the facts about spa's. He will inform you about the advantages and disadvantages and more importantly show you the differences of the various manufactured spas. They have many different manufactured tubs in the showroom and warehouse for you to see and measure against each other. I could not speak more highly of Mark and his partner Jeff who delivered and set up the tub, OUTSTANDING!!! From the first meeting to the last and the best part......the PRICE!!. The entire experience was over the top. I highly recommend anyone thinking of spa to give these guys a call. read more

We have had our hot tub for years. Recently had a tree puncture our cover and it was beyond repair. Spoke to Mark over the phone. He gave me options that depended on size, location and amount of usage. Once he got the info he placed the order. It came today. Mark had warned us not to sign for it until the box was opened and the cover was inspected for any shipping damage. Fortunately it was in perfect shape and it is on the tub. This customer care is what we have gotten from the day we first went to Spa Wholesalers to look at hot tubs. They have never let us down. I hope ours lasts for a few more years but when it's time to replace it we will buy it from SpaWholesalers read more

Straight talk and no high pressure sales! Mark answered his phone on the first ring and addressed all of our questions directly. When we went to check out the swim spa, he gave us the low down on tub construction and operation, the pros and cons of the accessories and an accurate estimate of cost. The side by side display of several spas was enlightening too. He has several brands lined up against the wall in the warehouse so you can see "under the hood". We feel confident that we're buying a high quality product and will experience the best customer service if needed. Forget internet surfing for a "deal", just call this guy. He's tell you what you need to know. read more
