Spa and Hot Tub I feel it's my responsibility to warn potential patrons to avoid this business like the plague, unless you're willing to tolerate a passive aggressive sales staff and inept service people. During a recent service call to replace part of the hot tub plumbing, the serviceman failed to fix the issue and made the problem worse. The service guy spent three and a half hours, much of it spent listening to audio books while he worked, and or on the phone with his service manager. At one point when he realized he couldn't solve the problem. I found him laughing loudly talking to himself about not being able to solve the problem. Tools, parts, and instructions were scattered, and both van doors were open, showing a messy heap inside. At one point he asked me if I had any O ring lubricant. When I went to check on him an hour later, I noticed that the electrical tester was out, although there was nothing wrong with the electrical. When I asked him about this, he confessed that he had turned off the breaker and was unable to reset it. He left shortly thereafter, with the job unfinished and no power to the tub. I was able to restore the power easily by resetting the GFCI breaker. The next day when I went into the store to tell the manager that I was able to restore the power, he went ballistic on me, slammed his fist on the counter and started screaming at the top of his lungs about what a terrible customer I was, I lived too far away, how he should have declared my hot tub DOA months ago and on and on. The guy screaming at me from behind the counter was so angry and so obese that I honestly thought that this unprecedented meltdown would cause a heart attack or stroke. I was too gob smacked to even respond. As I was slinking out the door, he was still screaming that I wouldn't find any other place in the area that provided better service or was less expensive. I guess you do get what you pay for. However, the reality is that there are Affordable Spa Services just across the river in Springfield. Avoid this business!

I will start out this review, stating that Scott is a nice guy. I am giving him two stars; one…read morebecause he is nice and the second because he seems knowledgeable. We had him come out for a diagnostic on September 15th, that ran us about $220. Scott charges by the hour and our diagnostic ran a little over an hour. He diagnosed the problem (leaky pipe) and told us that he would send a link for us to pay for the part. After some time of not hearing from him, we contacted him, he sent the link, and told us it would be 1-2 weeks for the part to come in. After a week or so, we called/messaged him to check on our part. It was a week of phone tag and waiting for a response. He told us that he had our part and gave us the "go ahead" to drain the tub. He then texted back a couple hours later, after we had drained our tub, stating that he thought that we were someone else and was still waiting on our part. He responded back October 8th stating he had the part and scheduled us for October 16. He cancelled last minute, stating he had another job that ran over and scheduled us again for November 6th. He showed up late, at dark, took time to set up lights (keep in mind that he charges by the hour) and removed foam from around the area he needed to work. After an 1 hour, he stated that he couldn't finish the job because he needed help to get to where he needed to be. He scheduled us again November 8th. He showed up again with help, after dark and told us he forgot the part and would have to reschedule with us on November 10th. He didn't show up on the 10th because he had another job that ran over. He then texted, stating that he wanted to "prioritize" us and give us our own day and time needed to finish repair, which he estimated would take two hours. He scheduled us for November 18th at 12pm. He showed up at 2:15pm with a new employee who refused to help him lift the tub, the whole reason he rescheduled with us. He forgot a part and left at 2:45pm but returned to finish the repair at 3:15pm. He spend maybe 30 minutes working on the tub, fired his employee on the spot because the guy stood there, refusing to work, left to take the guy home at 4pm and returned at 5:45pm. When he returned it was dark (repairs take longer in the dark) and he completed the repair at 7:45pm. The amount of time he collectively spent actually working on the tub was 3 hours and 30 minutes (11/6 for 1 hour and 11/18 for 2.5 hours). We know this because we have a camera pointing in the direction of the tub that time stamped when he came and went and we were home during both appointments. Before he left, we asked him how much time he would be billing us for. He stated, "I'm only going to charge you for three hours (this was including an hour from when he came out to remove foam), even though it was a lot longer because I know it's taken a while to complete the repair." Yes, his equipment was at my house for about 6 hours on the 18th but the actual time he worked on the tub was 3 hours and 30 minutes. It's not my responsibility to pay for errands to pick up forgotten parts or driving your ex employee home. He charged us for 3.5 hours of work, which we paid. There was no discount for inconvenience, which is fine but don't tell me one thing to just turn around and do something different. The tub was finally repaired after two months. We were instructed to wait 72 hours before filling the tub to allow for the silicone to dry. We got it filled and went to plug it in but the cord kept tripping. When we started this repair it was hot and sunny. After we were instructed to empty the tub, it sat empty and unplugged for about 6 weeks. The weather changed and it started to rain. We attempted to keep the cord end away from rain water but unfortunately moisture made it into the cord because we couldn't keep it plugged in, due to the tub being empty. We ended up having to replace the hot tub GFC cord. No, we did not hire Scott to do this. This repair shouldn't have taken two months to fix. He shouldn't have shown up after dark to attempt the repair on multiple occasions, which absolutely added more time. He should have prioritized us from the beginning. He fixed one problem, just to add a damaged cord that we had to then turn around and have repaired for an additional cost. Very frustrating. He is a very nice guy but not reliable. I would not recommend.

Shit sandwich... positive, negative, positive…read more Scott is a good man... Ernest and likable Some people don't know how to run a business... in this case you don't get price quotes before the work so the bill is huge before you realize what you are paying for... deadlines get missed... goofy mistake happen... then it's a weird reconciliation between what happened and if it was fair... and how much do you want to fight over a couple hundred bucks And I would use Scott again. Why? Because I think if I did a better job being clear about what I need from Scott... he is basically good at what he does... and there aren't a ton of options. Look... this guys got some bad reviews... I could have done that but in truth half of what didn't go well was me... so maybe some of those bad reviews aren't fair. My advice... give him a chance but really... really manage the work
