Review of Go Assist


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Less than 1 star service

If i could give less than 1 star i would. Firstly, i was charged for a warrenty i didnt even want. It was very unclear on the website, that if i cancelled, my call out fee would be more so i was stuck with it. The engineer then shows, who seems to know very little. I told him on arrival i thought the thermostat was the problem but he continued to play around with the oven for an hour, tripping all my fuses multiple times in the mean time. Once he decided it was indeed the thermostat he left in a rush, mumbling somerhing about ordering a thermostat. Once he was gone all my electics then turned off, i didnt really think about it, just turning them all back on but on my return from work the following day, all my electrics where back off.I then rang Go assisst, who said they didnt have electricians to fix my issue so i had to call out an electrician, costing me more money. Then the laughable quote came through, £103 for a £14 thermostat. The warrenty didnt cover the cost as it was only for parts after the initial fix, again not made clear on purchase. I rejected the quote as a new oven was only £159 and i had now paid out £270 and still didnt have a working oven. I am now struggling to get my refund, its a shame because all the staff i have spoken to so far have been lovely, it is the powers that be not authorisihg my refund!! Avoid this company at all costs.

In reply to the companies reply. My house electrics were not tripping before engineers arrival just the kitchen. It's absolutly disgusting you charge a £150 call out charge without actually fixing the problem, iv seen electricians since my experiance, thanks to you I had to i had to have an emergency call out, and they agree the service is shocking and will be telling future customers to avoid you at all costs

Good afternoon,


I appreciate you taking the time to let us know of your experience with us but I do apologise it is not the best one.

I can see that a member of our customer service team has been looking into this matter for you and have also bee liasing with our engineer about what occured on that visit to make your electrics tip. Our engineer has advised us that you explained to him that the electrics were already tripping in your hgouse prior to our engineers visit so this would not have been something he caused.

He did, however, manage to find the root cause of the issue, and that the thermostat would need to be replaced to fix this issue, but you did not want to continue to pay for the parts.

Due to our findings and our engineer not being the cause of your electrics tripping, and being able to diagnose the issue and what parts were needed, we would be unable to issue a refund.


Kind regards,
Hanna

Good windows, AWFUL salesman

Good windows and fitter, AWFUL salesman. I literally only got the windows because I couldn't get the arrogant, horrible sales bloke out of my house!! We agreed to a finance plan and since having them fitted have been informed finance was never agreed so I have to pay the whole balance in full. Like people just have 10 grand laying around. Do not trust this company!!

I am sorry that you have felt the need to leave this one star review despite in your own words the product and installation being good. I hope on reflection you will reconsider your rating.
We like to be transparent with our customers and must now respond accordingly to your accusations.
On 22/04/24 you visited our website to request a quotation.
On 24/04/24 our representative visited you after you requested a quotation for the replacement of windows and a conservatory roof to your property.
This representative has worked here for many years and we have never had a single complaint about his conduct nor have you raised this issue before today.
After working out a price it was established that the conservatory roof and windows was beyond your budget and a price of £8888 was provided for the replacement of 12 windows (including bays) all in oak for which you accepted.
These windows were drawn up on a contract document which a copy was given at the time of placing the order and at this point your method of payment is detailed as using either card/cheque or cash method and it is explicitly indicated that finance was not being taken. (it actually says N/A in the box)
You paid a part deposit of £1000 towards the contract using your credit/debit card.
Our surveyor visited you on 01/05/2024 (a day and time requested by you) and a copy of this survey was emailed to you on 04/05/2024.
On 06/05/2024 you emailed back to state that you were again satisfied and to go ahead with manufacturing the windows.
You paid the remainder of the deposit amount again using a credit/debit card.
In the call where you tell us how to take the remaining deposit payment (from the same card) it is confirmed to you again that the balance of £6666.00 is due on the day of completion and we would call you once installed to see how you wished to pay this. You acknowledge this without any issue or query.

Between 06/05/2024 and 26/05/2024 there were calls between yourself and the company to arrange installation for Weds 5/6 - Fri 7/6 (3 day job). Our installer arrived as scheduled and carried out the work without any issue which you say yourself is good.

During all of these conversations and correspondence there was no mention that you wished to take out finance on your purchase until we eventually spoke to you yesterday (Mon 10/6) in response to us trying to reach you to take payment for the works which was now overdue.
It was politely explained that finance must be taken at the point of sale and cannot be applied for once the goods have already been supplied and installed however you became aggressive towards our staff when they tried to explain the reasons to you.

This is a rule that is set by finance companies in the same way that if you walk into a shop selling sofas or beds for example you cant take the goods home before you have either paid for them or have a finance agreement in place. Finance is always offered subject to status and there is no guarantee that you will be accepted for it, this is a decision of the finance company and not ourselves and if we have already installed the work and then the finance application is rejected we find ourselves in a situation where goods have now been supplied and the customer unable to pay for them.
As I am sure yourself or anybody reading this review can appreciate we are a business and rely on our customers paying for their works once completed.
I am sorry if you feel there has been some mis-understanding along the way however we feel that we have been very open and honest in our dealings throughout our contractual relationship, we have offered finance products for many years and never had a single complaint of this manner and although you are aggrieved now we hope that in time on reflection you are able to appreciate and enjoy your new windows.

A brilliant service

A brilliant service. I recieved the gold pack very quickly and the envelope was prepaid, i was looking at paying £7/8 with other dealers. My offer was given within a day, which was about £300 more than i expected!! Would definitely recommend

The whole process of planning our new kitchen and bathroom was very quick and easy. The fitters were brilliant and it was all done very quickly with a brilliant finish. The only issues we had were with deliveries, with things either not showing up or delivery times and days being changed. Overall excellent service
