“Awful company. I rejected the estimate of £970 to fix a microwave combination oven. I asked for the insurance I had paid back as the work wasn’t done. They deducted £50 for my cancellation even though I did tell them I wasn’t going ahead after a week. Steer clear of this company at all costs.”

“Stay away. Expensive for no reason, they may be polite but it's still very scammy. Was quoted more for repair than a new microwave would cost. I feel stupid falling for this.”

“Unfortunately I've had the same experience as everyone else, charged £148.99 with the discount for taking out the cover, didn't fix the problem with washing machine just pulled it out and put it back without putting waste pipe back, so flooded the kitchen, then when I cancelled the policy then took a further £50, they did eventually refund the 50 but I had still paid 148.99 for nothing except a flooded kitchen, got a local plumber to do the job, do not use go assist!”

“I unfortunately had to put one star so that I was able to voice my utter disgust for this incompetent bunch of charlatans. Paid £139 for a call out to look at my dishwasher. After several date changes an engineer turned up after thinking he was coming to look at a gas cooker. He said it needed parts…….paid £200 for them. He turned up to fit them and said it needed more parts…..£89. Why did he not work that out on his first visit?! I refused to pay anymore. Another engineer turned up 6 days later in the evening unannounced, looked at the dishwasher and said it was beyond repair and needed to be condemned. I have been ripped off for £200 for something that should have been seen by the incompetent first engineer. Perhaps he thought he was working on a gas cooker!! Avoid at all costs!!!”

“I will be detailing my awful dealings with this company in later update but this is directed at Trustpilot and the suggestion that they update overall ratings based on more recent reviews. To give an overall review score rating of 3.9 based on 1388 is extremely misleading due to time span covering reviews. 5 star- 6 over last 4 years 4 stars- last review 4 years ago 3 stars-1 review was 3 years 2 stars- 2 in last year 1 star- 86 in the last year, latest 5 days ago. You owe it to do better or at least give a mention to performance in a 2 or 3 year period. Google rightly ate more up to date and give them 1 star”

“They mislead me about the membership and then could not fix my tumble dryer so with cancellation it cost me £161 for nothing. Avoid at all costs !”

“I asked for an engineer to come out and fix my pure glow fire. He promised me he had the right man for the job. Cancelled my date twice. When engineer turned up he was a gas engineer. Didnt know anything about electrics. Asked for refund of my £139. They said no you have paid for call out and labour. He pulled plug out and put it back in. It is disgraceful. They sent me a complaints email which didnt exist. I am now going to write a letter to their head office and also my bank are trying to get my money back.”

“Disgraceful customer service- still waiting for a refund since 1st October, just keep being fobbed off by a team member, saying ‘I will pass it on! But THEY don’t obviously. A load of codswallop. I still haven’t received my refund.”

“Avoid! I regret ever contacting this company. I was persuaded to buy a go assist membership to save money on a washing machine job. The operator failed to explain this was a 12 month membership contract with a £50 cancellation fee. In fact he suggested the opposite as I originally intended just to pay the full price for the job. The job itself was only half done and the communication with the engineer was extremely poor 100% avoid this company, awful service and disingenuous”

“A complete shower of sh…! Engineer arrived to fix broken washing machine , which we told exactly what problem was. No spares with him even though it’s a common fault. Couldn’t find part no…to which my husband did. Finally when they found the part, they thought 3 weeks for delivery, not including an appointment for fitting was acceptable. Would give NO STARS . Circus🤡”

“GoAssist misdiagnosed what was wrong with my dishwasher. When the engineer attended to carry out the wrong repair, they did not stay to test it and the dishwasher was still broken. This was reported to GoAssist who ignored me for two weeks then told me they were 'still looking into it'. So over the course of two months all GoAssist has done is waste my time and I'm out £200 for nothing. They've said we would need to pay for yet another repair and no refund on the previous payments was possible. Would not recommend at all - avoid this business.”

“I used Go Assist to repair a washing machine that was jammed shut, with water and laundry inside. I paid 139 GBP upfront, and the 'engineer' went to the property 2 days later. He spent 10 mins there in total. He pulled the integrated machine from its fixture in the kitchen, breaking the wooden kitchen panel underneath in the process, he unplugged the machine and turned it on its side, at which point water flooded the machine itself (all of the electrics) and the kitchen. He fiddled around, opened the door, removed the contents, flooded the kitchen some more in the process, fiddled around some more, then stood it up and plugged it back in and told us to put it on in 15 mins and it should be 'fine'. He then left. 15 mins later, the machine goes on and the electrics pop and spark, and the whole house electricity goes. We called the engineer's company (sub-contracted by Go Assist) but said they had no record of this engineer and job. We called Go Asssit and they said they would 'get back to us'. We received an automated email saying the machine had been fixed, then a couple of hours later an other one saying it was beyond repair and here's 40 pounds off a new one that you can buy through Go Assist. Made a formal complaint to Go Assist by phone and email. Low and behold 2 weeks later and still haven't heard back from them. In the meantime, I have had to buy a new machine because that one has had its electrics flooded, but I used a local company called Village Appliances in Reading who have been absolutely super with installing and offering great prices. DO NOT USE GO ASSIST.”

“Do NOT use this service. Just phone a local engineer. They attempt to upsell to some extremely expensive membership which offers zero benefit as their prices are above market standard. The cost of a call out with them is significantly above the cost of sourcing an engineer directly and there is absolutely no recourse if the engineer turns up and can’t complete a repair. You just pay £140 for no outcome at all. Avoid at all costs.”

“I can't even imagine it!. Go Assist is now demanding I pay extra £50 on top of £108.99 already mis-sold to me without any benefit at all. They are cunning but aggressive and very bullish and very insensitive to customers plight!.”

“Despite the initial promising call to arrange a repair for my washing machine, I had a timeslot of 8-1 for an engineer to come out, however the website said the engineer would contact me prior to his arrival. He didn't contact me and the link to contact him didn't work until 9am due to GoAssist not opening until 9. He had showed up at 08:45 as shown on my doorbell cam, and I had no way of getting in touch until after 9, by then it was too late, I get no refund and charged a 2nd time if I want an engineer to try again. I will certainly be warning others on the online communities about this unless I get it resolved.”

“Really awful service. Very expensive, try to upsell you to a subscription model upfront. Not clear about the terms and conditions, principal among which is that you can pay vast sums to have somebody turn up and simply say it is unfixable with no labour included. I didn't need to pay £139 for someone to simply tell me what the problem was.”

“A lot of effort made by Go Assist and Big Warranties to pull you into their service and then the interest stopped. Paid £139 and the Engineer came out within a few days and very quickly diagnosed the problem with our fridge freezer. Said he would arrange for the part to be ordered. THREE WEEKS LATER, the engineer came back and replaced the part. There are 3 parts to this service - Big Warranty, Go Assist and Go Repair. You are sent automated emails and texts that don't make any sense, when you call you are given conflicting information, misinformation (lies) and fobbed off. If you request to speak with a supervisor, they don't call you back. Although perfectly nice people, they don't take a handle of the problem and deal with it. I lost count of the number of times I was told "the part is on its way" when clearly it wasn't or the wrong part arrived and they had to order it again. The quote for the part was well over the going rate and that was just a google search.... I do not recommend this company at all - try to find a local engineer and you will get a much cheaper, quicker and professional service. I'm not bothering to make a complaint to the company as I know I will just receive an empty sorry and I'm quite sure the service will not improve.”
