“Had a guy out to repair our dishwasher. He had no idea what he was doing. I had already told them the fault and possible part that was needed. Spent 10 minutes telling me everything I had already told him. He then asked to see the manual which he had just been reading! He left by saying people will be In Touch with a part to be ordered. Stay away from this company! Will be seeking a full refund. To top it off NO mask or hand sanitising!”

“Absolutely awful company avoid at all costs. They offer "cheaper" services however you then pay on a monthly basis for a fee. Unable to cancel an unneeded appointment as the office doesn't work on the weekend so had to pay the fee for work not carried out.”

“Worst experience ever. Incompetent, uninformed, unhelpful. Have sent so many emails I’ve lost count. Have been calling to chase my order for weeks, am constantly fobbed off with excuses and platitudes. STILL waiting for a part I’ve paid for to be delivered with no repair date in sight. NEVER EVER use this company. They should be investigated. AVOID at all costs”

“Appalling service, paid upfront for repairs to three units, they sent a sub contractor with work order for two units. He was not able to even repair them. Ordered a part for one, never heard again from them, two months now. Very hard communicating with them of course.”

“Long fridge (non) repair story. Go Assist are bullies and, in my case, provided a dreadful service. I got my money back off them by registering a claim with the Government Money Claim Online service, very easy. I hope this helps others.”

“The worst company I have ever dealt with. We successfully claimed back money we’d paid for parts via our banks chargeback scheme. This was awarded to us on the basis that Go Assist was in breach of contract for failing to deliver the parts and repair the machine within a reasonable able timeframe. NOW, they are pursuing us via a debt collector for the £288!! Outrageous way to treat customers. We have been so stressed by this company for over nine months and they continue to bully us via any method available. DO NOT USE!! And if you’re in a similar situation, please please complain to Trading Standards and the Financial Ombudsman.”

“If I could give this company zero stars I would. I have never experienced a level of customer service as abysmal and disgusting as this company. Please note they outsource your work to a company that is even worse: We Repair. The company constantly cancels appointments. It is now 08 March and I called on the 22 December to repair my tenant's dishwasher. It took them two appointments to diagnose the issue. They then quoted double the manufacturer's price to order the replacement parts. When I told them I could get it for half price - they said their engineers would not fit my parts even though it was from the manufacturer. Instead, they wanted to charge in excess of 300 pounds and will not attend the flat if I order the parts themselves. The best part? They told me I could cancel my insurance with them if my problem was not fixed - now they are saying they will charge 50 pounds. Please do not ever use this company. They want your money and nothing more. I will be complaining to the FCA on the insurance part.”

“Terrible Phoned them to fix my washing machine and been told I will pay 119 pound to fix it and insure it for 3 months. I paid 119 pound to this company to send someone to my house and say your washing machine is un repairable I phoned them back and asked for refund, they said 119 pound was just for diagnosis. So paid for nothing If you ask a consultant to visit your machine gonna be cheaper. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 Don’t waste your money”

“Signed up for repair using new BIG policy. An hour or so later an appointment was offered 1 week ahead and when I rang to discuss this no answer in 25 minutes. Sent email requesting immediate cancellation of it all saying this was not acceptable. They soon rang back and suddenly they could come the next day but I was not willing to stay with them. In fairness they did cancel and refund the same day. However they did not cancel the policy at our request or state that we needed to do that ourselves, which we did manage to do a week later, within the 14 days cool-off. In our part of the world £79, let alone £119, is pretty much a standard labour cost for a visit so over and above the replacement benefit of the policy the economics are questionable.”

“I booked an engineer to come and look at our electric oven/gas hob. We were advised that some one would be with us within 48 hrs, a week later I contacted you to see what was happening?, some one called back and said an engineer would be with us soon , however the parts you would need would be £170,we had already paid £119.0the parts that we were told did not actually sound like the problem, we had no visit, we were charged for one , I wanted a refund , I was declined, it turned out we needed a thermocouple of which was £15.00. I am seriously not happy with your service!!!”

“The engineer who visited was nice however, it turns out that they can't order parts for an oven if you don't have the model number. I don't have this because I live in a rented property - and neither does my landlord. Prior to the appointment, I was on the phone for almost 20 mins with customer services, and at no point did they tell me this. If I had known I likely wouldn't have bothered to book an engineer. That's £119 down the drain. They won't even re-open my case and I've asked them to twice as it would be worth the money if the engineer could attend to fit a new oven. Wouldn't recommend and wouldn't use again.”

“Hi, I certainly won’t be using this company again. The guy came one day late because he was behind, and wanted to leave us until the very last call of the day, but which time it was evening. He was clearly trying to make as much money as possible in a day. So, not ideal. He came the following day, again after 6pm He was there for 5 minutes, took the 65 quid, told us it needed a new part, but didn’t seem interested in fitting it, or if it was not cost effective, actually fitting a new dishwasher for us. He messaged back the next day to let us know the cost, but that he couldn’t get the part. I didn’t bother replying, as he showed no interest in doing any further work, so I have written off the money, and put it all down to bad experience. However, i might set up my own business, pretending to be a repair man, charge a call out fee, tell them its broken and disappear into the sunset. Easy money!!!!”

“After 3 months and half, i'm still waiting an answer regarding a spare parts already ordered and already paid. Called four times and all times they told me to wait or that i would have received a call back from a technicians or i don't know who.... Shame on you especially during this time of pandemic and regarding people who, still don't working, paid immediately the amount requested without receiving the service.”

“I have been very disappointed with the service I have received from this company and despite my repeated attempts at phoning and asking for help I have been let down badly. I applied to have my dishwasher repaired in October. The job was sent to Capital Repairs who sent over a repairman. This man looked at my dishwasher , quite grudgingly, turned it on and let some water flow into the dishwasher. He then told me that I would need new parts and that the office would contact me. He took a picture of my dishwasher and left. A few days later I started receiving e-mails and phone calls from Capital Repairs to say that the pictures that the engineer sent were not of good quality and then they started asking me to send pictures of codes. This went on for over two weeks. Finally, they said they were ready to order. I paid for the parts and then followed a wait of around a week. The same repair man came to my house as previously, I was not present at that time and my son was home. He walked in and was annoyed straightaway. He said that why hadn't we taken the unit door of before. He opened the dishwasher and as there was a little water from the last time, he had put it on. He said that he was not going to fix the dishwasher as the water smelt. He started swearing and told my son that when we had taken the door off and taken out the water he would come and replace the parts. He left the new ordered parts in my house and left. I then phoned Capital Repairs and Go Assist about the shocking treatment. Capital Repairs apologised and confirmed they would send me a different repair man. The repairman was booked in for Wednesday. On Wednesday afternoon, I received a phone call from Capital Repairs to say that there was a family emergency so my repair man could not come. It was booked for Friday. On Friday I phoned up in the afternoon and was told , oh sorry there was a booking error and now they had booked a repairman for Monday. On Monday, I was waiting and phoned in the afternoon again to be told, oh sorry there had been an administrative error and the job had not been booked. I was very angry at this point and the lady dealing with my call said that she would get a repairman to come to my house today. The repairman did come. At this point- I learnt how to unclip the door of the unit and made sure there was no visible water in the dishwasher so that there would be no excuse! The repairman looked at the dishwasher for a minute and said that he could not repair the dishwasher here and that now it would have to be taken to the workshop. I was angry on why this was the case. The repairman said it was the fault of the previous repairman as he had not done his job properly. The date given to me to collect the dishwasher was in 10 days. I then phoned Go Assist to complain about this. The gentleman I spoke to said he would look into the matter and phone me back. I did receive a phone call back which I missed the next day. I promptly phoned back and spoke to another customer advisor. He said he would look into my case and then told me that he looked at my case and the reason why Capital Repairs could not fix my dishwasher was because there was water in my machine which I did not drain!!! At this point I stated that I was cancelling my policy! I have attached the receipts from Capital Repairs and also a video of my dishwasher so that you can see there is no visible water in my dishwasher. Go -assist are refusing to pay me any money back. Please don't use this company!”

“Terrible experience. I'm a landlord and booked them to check the tenant's freezer. The engineer showed up for 5 minutes, says that he didn't have the right tools to open up the freezer to determine gas type and there wasn't a model number. He said he will pop back in but never did. 2 weeks later I rang up and was told "the freezer was of the wrong gas type" and I would get a full refund. Then I got a call 30 minutes later, saying that the engineer was onsite and asked for a payment for parts??!!! I thought things have been turned around and paid for the parts. This is where things went beyond belief, a few hours after I paid for the parts I received an email saying the extra parts payment has been refunded. I queued over an hour to finally get on to customer care team (note that they put you on Customer Service queue first then explain Customer Care is a different team, jokers). I was told the following: - The second charge (for parts) was a mistake, it was for a different customer hence they refunded it. - The will not refund the call out charge for the first one because the "freezer gas is too old" - although the engineer said he didn't know the model number and didn't have the tool to open the freezer to determine gas type onsite. Clearly it was a made up report to save him a return visit. So all in all, I lost £79 call out charge. Not a big deal for a landlord but shows you how little control the company has over his contractors. Avoid like plague.”

“We have been so frustrated with this company. We have a faulty dish washer and asked for a repair person to come to the house to fix it. Next thing we know they have charged us for a 12 month contract and my wife called and tried to get them to reverse that but they said no. Now that they had us locked into a 12 month contract they took 10 days to come out and fix the problem, only for them to see the error code (which we repeatedly told them on the phone ten days earlier) and say they did not have the part required. So we wait another 2 weeks and he comes to install the new part only to say that the part he has received is faulty!! Another 8 days later they come back to 'fix it' I check in with him while he is working to make sure he has everything he needs and it is going to be fixed and he says yes. He finishes the job, says it is fixed and as soon as he leaves we put a cycle on and the SAME ERROR come back up and it stops working again. I've now been on hold for 8 minutes waiting to speak to them. Absolute criminals. My wife is in tears trying to deal with them. I've now just called them and they won't speak to me because i'm not the policy holder, do they think they are dealing in sensitive personal information or something? Ask to speak to a manager and am told the manager will not speak to me. I ask what other security information they need in order to verify the account and they just start getting irritated with me. Absolute criminals, they have their money and now are treating us appallingly.”

“Big thank you to Marcel who came to look at our broken Dyson and then observed other issues with our appliances that could be easily remedied. He went the extra mile and was very polite and professional.”

“Avoid this company and Big Warranties - they use the fact that they are seperate companies to confuse the customers. I took out a policy (with BIG Warranties) in good faith at the beginning of August and at the end of November the repair to cooker (which they schedule to be repaired within two weeks of the policy been taken out) has still not been done. There is a part that has not arrived and they cannot tell me when the cooker will be repaired. After many calls they agreed to refund the parts only - but I have been left with a bill of £79 plus they are now charging me £50 for cancelling something that I never had. The communications with both BIG and Go Assist has been poor at best; incorrect information been provided and unless I got in touch with them I would be non the wiser on progress etc. I have asked them to waiver the £50 charge due to inconvenience caused and the cooker remaining unusable (after 4 months) - they have point blank refused. the latest person that I had contact with was 'SHANE' refused to provide surname - his role Retention Advisor --- the irony !”
