“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 !”

“Had my heating element replaced at what was quite an extortionate price, originally they wanted £104 for the part, then reduced it to £84 when it was available on line for ~£40. Soon as we ran the dishwasher after the engineer had fitted the part we had a leak. They came back to fix the leak and said it was OK, then when we ran it again for a full wash it leaked again all over our kitchen floor. Now they refuse to come out (unless I pay another call out charge) as I have to prove the fault was caused by the engineer although we didn't have the leak in the first place. I should have read the reviews in the first place, I would recommend anyone else to give this service provider a wide berth.”

Thank you for making us aware of your thoughts regarding the recent service you received from us, and we are sorry to hear that the repair of your appliance has not been smooth sailing. Unfortunately, as per our terms and conditions, we are only able to use suppliers for parts that our engineers are in contracts with, helping us make sure only the right parts are sourced. As discussed with our customer service team, the latest fault is different from the original fault (water not heating enough to clean dishes) and therefore it would incur a separate callout fee.

“Avoid this company at all costs. They are a complete shambles and untrustworthy. My experience with this company which is still ongoing has been nothing short of disgraceful. They have no regard whatsoever for customer care. My dealings began on 5th August 2020 When I called Go Assist in respect of a faulty main oven control knob to our Stoves Cooker. An engineer arrived and after a quick examination told us we needed a new thermostat and control knob for the oven. He then stated if we wanted the repair done we would have to pay for the parts up front before they could be delivered to him. That same day we paid Go Assist a total of £163.76 for the parts which included an extra control knob for the grill as the setting marks had worn away on the existing one. Go Assist then encouraged us to take an insurance plan for our cooker at a cost of £67 which we did. Days and weeks went by and we heard nothing. I have made at least a dozrn calls to them requesting an update and on each occassion was told that they had obtained the thermostat but that there was no ETA for the control knobs. This went on for weeks with more calls from me to them with the same response regarding the control knobs. Utterly frustrated I called the engineers on the 10th November 2020 and asked where the control knobs were being sourced from and was told Stoves direct. On that same day I contacted Stoves direct and was told that they no longer manufactured the control knobs and they were obselete and had been for some considerable time. Following this development I again contacted the engineers who have agreed that they cannot therefore carry out the repair to the cooker . I contacted Go Assist again to tell them of this development but they were less than helpful. I asked them to comment on why I could find out this information in one phone call to Stoves in November when they had had three months to do the same but hadn't. They passed the buck to the engineers. Unbelievably I am now in the position that after THREE MONTHS of dealings with Go Assist my cooker cannot be repaired and I have paid them £231 in the process. Since then I have made several calls to Go Assist in an effort to get a full refund of the £231. At this point in time they are refusing to refund me the full cost of the thermostat stating that the item is not returnable therefore not refundable despite the fact that I have NOT taken possession of the thermostat as it still remains with the engineers. I have had to persistently contact Go Assist at regular intervals to obtain updates. Not once have they contacted me. Every time I have called I speak to a different person who then has to put me on hold for at times up to 10 to 15 minutes in order to "read my file." I am thoroughly exasperated with this company who appear to treat their customers with contempt. Please be aware and read the reviews before thinking of using them.”

“Avoid this outfit at all costs. They are the biggest rip off I've ever encountered. £119 for an engineer to call and remove an oven door. Two weeks later nothing. I called them and after 25 minutes on hold they asked for a further £95 to do the repair. I am now waiting for the door to be returned unrepaired. They claim low cost, fast repairs. They are lying.”

“Contacted Go-Assist 3 weeks ago for fridge/freezer repair. Still waiting for quote on parts. I have rang 6 times and emailed 3 times with very little communication back. I requested a refund and declined. Very quick on taking your money but not on fixing the problem with your appliance. Avoid this company.”

“Repair Number LBR 52599 I contacted this company on 5th October for a repair to an Electrolux EOD 5310 oven. I was also persuaded to take out Breakdown insurance for this item and my Hob and Extractor. The repair was to be done on 8th October. On the afternoon of 8th October I was advised that the engineer was unable to fine spare parts for this Oven. Tis was a surprise as the spares very readily available on the Internet. After exchanging emails on 9th October it transpired that the company had asked for a repair of a Fisher and Paykel oven using the details of my Electrolux oven. The correct details were finally established and I was promised that an engineer would be in touch the arrange to undertake the repair. As I had not been contacted by the engineer I used this company's on lone chat service on 12th October, it is useless to use their phone lines as the wait time. in my experience is excessive. I was assured that the repair would be rebooked and the insurance policy details corrected. THe repair was finally effected on the evening of 16th October ibn a satisfactory manner. I have not yet received the corrected Insurance documents . I paid for the parts before the engineer left. This morning I have received a text message that my oven can be repaired and providing a link to arrange the repair!! I am therefore completely dissatisfied with the service provided”

“AVOID at all costs, customer care is an absolute joke! AVOID at all costs! 1 Star review given because you can't give lower! Called Go-Assist for a dishwasher fault Error code 15 and they appointed NAC to attend. Engineer gave it a very quick look over, extracted a small piece of debris from the filter drain and reset the machine before leaving. 30 minutes later, the machine stopped again with the same code displayed and a full base of water. Go-assist were alerted and several weeks passed before the same engineer reappeared. Having informed him that E15 (Siemens confirmation) was an internal leak code, he refused to accept that this machine could possibly leak as it had a sealed tank. He did another reset and tried to apportion blame to a copper pipe that has never leaked (which we tested with him in attendance), but had a a very small green streak which was left from installation 10 years ago. He left within 10 minutes and the machine failed again after half an hour. I called Siemens directly and they confirmed the E15 code was an internal leak to which end I called the engineer directly and informed him Siemens's diagnosis. He refused to return to fix the fault as he claimed there was no fault with the machine when he left. Siemens advised this code would not be displayed in such a short space of time (typically mid-cycle) Subsequently, significant water damage from the machine emanated through the kitchen units causing in excess of £10,000 damage! I called out a Siemens engineer to rectify the fault and he was incredulous that the engineer from NAC hadn't even bothered to remove the door and look for a leak? Once the door was removed, the leak was clearly visible from the sump pump and drain which if properly addressed in the first instance, would of been repairable. Such was the damage that there was no alternative but to replace the unit and an extensive repair is in progress to replace the kitchen units. Follow up with Go-Assist has been dreadfully stressful. It is impossible to speak to anyone in customer care or complaints other than by email. This highly unprofessional approach continued by not responding to email and phone calls only achieved responses of "we are following up a compliant with NAC and awaiting their response." Despite a plethora of evidence provided by the loss adjusters, Plumbers, kitchen installer and Siemens Engineers (paid for by me) they refuse to accept the leak came from the machine or that their engineers diagnosis was flawed from the outset. They now refuse to respond knowing full well they are liable for the damage caused. Having removed the offending unit, the damage could not be clearer, but GA refuse to accept any responsibility whatsoever! Images below are of the internal leak damage taken by the Siemens engineer which Go-assist refuse to accept. Further damage spread to a significant potion of the kitchen island requiring a complete rebuild. Unless your fault is a simple fix on/off reset, be warned...get an independent assessment, have a plumber in attendance, but ideally use D&G or call the manufacturer and pay for real expertise!!”

“Dear diary. Six weeks in now. As the nights draw in I wonder will they ever do as they promised? Will they fix the door they broke, let alone the oven I asked them to? My elderly mother and my kids grow weaker (and more Italian) by the day as they are forced to eat nothing but pasta....this company is more of a mess than the spaghetti Bolognese the kids have just eaten....”

“Horrendous. First engineer no problems. Terrible communication. Held hostage to pay for more parts due to their errors in order forms. Second engineer was a no-show and they want me to pay for a third visit. I'm reporting them to every ombudsman I can. Just go to a trusted local.”

“1 star is 1 star too many! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY UNLESS YOU HAVE MONEY TO FLUSH DOWN THE TOILET. I echo everything that is said in the other dire reviews- absolutely shocking. You can’t get to speak to anyone with the authority to deal with the issues as apparently, the managers ‘don’t take phone calls and don’t speak to customers’. Consequently, the £500 I paid this company 2 months ago is in their account and I have no idea whatsoever when my dishwasher will get fixed. I’ve been fobbed off with the promise of an e-mail or a phone call....... to get nothing. I feel heartily sorry for the poor advisors who have to answer the phone and at best, can only keep spouting a fobbing off script, which only serves to further infuriate. Absolutely woeful!!! They were quick enough to take the cash and then you’re left high and dry.”

“Go Assist took the call out money well in advance and now will not complete the repair without another callout fee. I gave all the repair part details on booking the callout. I DO NOT RECCOMMEND this company as they are expensive and refuse to do the job; replace a broken inner glass on the door of a microwave. Not beyond them I would have thought.”

“DO NOT USE! USELESS COMPANY THAT GOT US WAITING TO REPAIR A MICROWAVE DOOR FOR OVER A MONTH NOW AND CANNOT GIVE US AN ESTIMATE OF HOW LONG MORE WE ARE TO WAIT! Sent engineer out the day after we purchased the first repair (£79) plus £7.90 x 12 = £94.80 one year’s insurance. Engineer physically made it possible to close the microwave door BUT the microwave COULD NOT register this! Basically the repair was useless. We rung to tell the engineer it wasn’t fixed. Was told apparently some parts were required. A MONTH, MANY HOURS AND MULTIPLE CALLS LATER we were STILL TOLD the engineer was WAITING FOR PARTS from the manufacturer. How is it possible that we are to WAIT FOREVER? They could not give us an estimate and in fact had told us they would get the part number by the 28th September (Monday) when I rung on 25th (Friday). Come Monday, NOTHING! We call on 30th September wait 29 minutes to talk to a customer service agent and what do they tell us? That they will email us when the manufacturer replies! What? There is no deadline? So what if it takes 2 years?”
