Pinto pools -The worst customer service experience, so dissapointed
I am in the process of waiting on a closing date for my house. I had noticed that the pool was losing a lot of water. Doing the right thing I contacted Pinto pools to do the repair. We have used Pinto pools for all of our openings/closings and any issues that arose in the 3 years that we have owned this home. We never had any issues with their service. Unfortunately, I cannot say that any more. When I first contacted Pinto by phone they told me the service person (Michelle) was away from her desk, leave a message and she would call me back. I did not get a call back so I stopped in on my way home. Met Michelle and filled out a form to have my pipes pressure tested. I would receive a call when I was put onto schedule. I did get a call but it was not to schedule my date it was to tell me that she spilled something on the form and needed my payment information. I never did get a call to tell me when they would be at my house. Good thing I have security cameras! They came about a week and a half later(6/20). I did not receive a phone call of what they found and would not have known that they came without the cameras. two days later I called, spoke with Michelle and she told me the tech would get back to me. two days after that I got a call from the tech. my pressure test was good, there must be a tear somewhere in the lining. They need to swim the pool to look for the tear. They would do that Thursday (6/27). Instead of swimming the pool they turned It off and corked the jets and skim baskets put a tape mark on the basket to see how much water I was losing in a 24 hr. period. The tech called and let me know that this is what he did. I was losing about 2" of water a day. This whole time period I kept the hose in my pool to keep the water levels up. They came back Friday removed the corks and told my mother which I overheard on the security camera that they would be back Monday (7/1) to swim pool and fix any leaks they found, to make sure I vacuumed pool so that it was clean for them. Monday came and went. I called the office and was told I was not on schedule for the day or the week. But they would try to fit me in on Wednesday of next week(7/10). Please remember that this is all going on while I am packing my house for a move to another state trying to fix everything for the new homeowners so that they are not faced with any surprises. I felt the tech was doing a thorough job, I feel that they need better communication and scheduling. I FELT VERY OVERWHELMED. I mention my frustration to my husband who is out of state. He decided to write a review commenting on how long the process was taking. Wednesday morning(7/4) at 8 am I got woken up to a very angry phone call from Michelle at Pinto Pools. She YELLED at me about the review called it "malicious & slanderous" and told me they were going to sue us over the review and that they would not be coming to fix our pool or do any other work for us in the future and hung up. So of course I call my husband and told him what was said then I hung up and read the review. It was none of what she accused. The point, I am disappointed with how I was treated. Appalled that after they read the review posted by Jeff Tabachnick that they felt the best course of action was to call me on a holiday morning at 8 am and yell at me and threaten me. read more
