Awful
Awful - would not recommend My original booking was made on November 3rd for a booking on November 5th I paid the call out fee on the day The time slot was given between 1-4pm At approx 3 45 I received a call telling me the engineer will not be coming I was then rebooked for 8th November - the night before this appointment was cancelled Finally engineer came out on the 11th and we needed a part ordered I paid for the part that afternoon - I had to call a few times to get an update on the job but the part finally arrived on 20th November I was then not given an appointment until 26th November I would have thought having had 2 prior cancellations I would have been given more priority The night before the engineer came down with Covid so this is now the 3rd time I have been cancelled I then had to phone again and finally was given an appt for the 27th November The engineer DID finally arrive but the poor man was overworked over tired and informed me that he is a refrigerator engineer and had been retrained to work on dishwashers The new part was then fitted but within about 20 mins of him leaving we had water leaking out of the bottom of the machine Another call to Appliance Care on Saturday - left a message but no one called me back I then called again on Monday morning and went through the whole story again I was told someone would get back to me asap - but 12 30 today I had to phone AGAIN and been told that an engineer is now due on Saturday but no one can give me a time slot until that morning so we cannot make any plans for Saturday I fully appreciate it we are living in unprecedented times and things can go wrong but this has now been going on since November 3rd and I am still without a working a dishwasher Each time I had to make a payment I did immediately I live in hope that Saturday will finally resolve the issue but the service has been appalling and at no time did I feel that anyone was looking at the catalogue of errors to do with my booking and making any effort to get things resolved One of my first messages from Appliance Care stated that if I made a cancellation there would be 54 fee - my bill to them is now at 162 00

Awful
Appliance Care UK was assigned to fix our dishwasher by the manufacturer Here is the timeline of events - An engineer was booked for us for 16 Nov I took time off work to ensure I was there Nobody showed up Nobody called We were informed a couple of days later that the engineer had come into contact with someone with coronavirus - The appointment was rearranged for the 24th we were told that the engineer would come between 1 and 4pm I ensured that I was at work in the evening so as to attend in the afternoon Nobody showed up Then at 645pm nearly three hours after the alloted time I received a call on my mobile whilst at work from an engineer wanting to be let in The appointment had to be rearranged again - An engineer was booked for 30 November We recieved a call saying that they had come into contact with someone with coronavirus - An engineer was booked for 5 November We recieved a call saying that they had come into contact with someone with coronavirus - An engineer was booked for 8 November We recieved a call saying that they had come into contact with someone with coronavirus There is a theme here Now to be fair I do not doubt that this happens and I did not doubt it the first time I heard it nor the second by the third I was feeling mightily unlucky - An engineer was booked for 10 November This was then rescheduled to due technical difficulties - An appointment was then booked for 17 November This was cancelled due to guess what the engineer needed to isolate Honestly by this point I do not believe it - An engineer was booked for 20 December Then gasp I got a message saying they d be able to come a whole day early On Saturday I even received a message giving me a time-slot of 3-6pm - I waited around on the day Nobody showed up I left several voicemails which were not responded to - I then phoned on Monday 21st They did not know why nobody had shown up - An engineers was booked for 28 December But then I got another message saying I might have someone come on 24th - I have just received another message saying this appointment has been cancelled The next one available is 30th December What do you think the odds are that someone might show up And hey coronovirus is obviously very difficult to deal with and that I do understand It d also be remiss of me to point out that we are all dealing with it including my own business and even with all that there is no point at which any of this would ever ever be considered an acceptable level of service

Don t use this company
Don t use this company Just before Christmas 2020 my integrated microwave stopped working I use it a lot at Christmas so I arranged with Appliance Care Uk for an engineer to visit I was told I would receive a message on the day with a time slot I didn t so I called the centre no-one picked up so I messaged them I then received a time slot However as the end of the time slot grew nearer I called to check if the engineer was still coming and was told the engineer had just called in sick Another appointment was arranged the following day and exactly the same thing happened This was the day before Christmas Eve AND then I received a call from their head office saying that they understood I wanted to cancel the appointment They charge 50 for cancelled appointments A money making scheme

Appliance Care UK called me last night
Appliance Care UK called me last night saying they were handling expired maintenance agreements from Domestic General On this occasion I was taken in by the fact that they were calling from a UK call centre about maintenance on my washing machine the guy dealing with me seemed to know about my previous agreement with D G and even offered me the service agreement for 8 90 which is cheaper than the 11 something I was apparently originally paying It was only after the call and my handing over my bank details that I thought this sounds fishy I checked my earlier bank statements and for my D G agreement I was only paying just over 5 00 and that the man I spoke to was great at blagging and social engineering and came across as being knowledgeable about my previous agreement In hindsight nothing he actually said showed knowledge of the agreement and it was just a cold call with my phone number and name that could have come from anywhere So armed for a fight this morning I called them back on the number provided by the woman who took my final consent and I told her I wish to exercise my rights under the 14-day cooling-off period and cancel the agreement before anything is set up The woman I spoke with this morning to do that was actually very nice about me cancelling after asking for my postcode and confirming my name and cancelled it without any argument I will of course monitor my online banking to see if any Direct Debit is set up and will immediately cancel anything that does appear I believe DDs have to be set up several days before a first collection is taken Conclusion This is a cold-calling company who will try to charge you over the odds for a service you could get from D G Personally I normally follow YouTube videos and fix my own white-goods where I can but just got drawn into this one because the washing machine is somewhat more complex than the tumble dryer However if you realise you have been stung call them quickly during their office hours 10am - 5pm week days and it seems you can easily get the agreement cancelled if you are assertive and don t faff around The phone number I called to cancel was 0208 191 1358

The worst service I have ever
The worst service I have ever experienced I purchased a Beko cooker from Currys which has not worked from day one I contacted Currys who advised I needed to contact Beko I then contacted Beko who arranged Dolphin engineers to attend my property After an extensive conversation advising I live in a town centre and have parking restrictions and the engineer Simon advising this is not a problem Simon arrived on the 28 12 22 and refused to park due to restrictions I then needed to almost beg him to stay and I paid for the parking He then came into my property and needed to call another engineer to ask how to set the time clearly not knowing the cooker he was supposed to fix He did not fix and left he did not want to be here and had no intention of fixing Absolutely disgusting customer service Admin staff member Claire refused to give me the managers name DO NOT USE
