Atlas Appliances Ltd

My oven broke so I contacted Atlas to have someone come out and take a look. The guy was really great. He called me that morning to say he'd be out within a certain window and was there in good time. He was quick and thorough and explained as well as showed me (where possible) what the problems were. Turns out we had quite a few issues and parts that needed to be replaced. The repair guy, I think his name was Zully explained that it could be expensive to fix and replace the parts that needed replacing so it could end up being cheaper to buy a new stove. He said that Atlas would be able to check the price of the replacement parts and give me a quote for them, but they might be able to offer me a good deal on a new stove if too expensive to repair the old one. He said that usually the cost of service is not charged to my credit card until it has been decided on what the next step is to be. I waited patiently for a call from Atlas for a few days and heard nothing from them. They went ahead and charged my card without providing a quote for parts, repair or for a new stove. I'm so disappointed with the lack of follow up. Atlas has lost business from us because chances are we would have bought a new stove.

Mike was great. First time he came to repair my dishwasher we couldn’t figure out how to remove the dishwasher from the new island, instead of ripping it out and causing damage on a brand new renovation, he suggested I call my contractor and would return when that was arranged. Without knowing for certain it was the pump, he ordered it anyway so we wouldn’t need a third visit.
When the new part came in, they called me right away and my contractor met with Mike to properly remove and reassemble the frame of the island to repair the pump.
Mike was courteous, professional and fixed the problem in under 20 minutes.
I was very happy with the service and customer service!

We bought a Stove from Atlas a few years ago. Earlier this week the oven stopped working. I called them to see if we had an extended warranty, but was going to book a repair call through them regardless. The lady was able to pull up our file easily with minimal information and advised me that we had extended warranty. I was able to schedule a date for an appointment within a few days and the service technician that came was fantastic. He was respectful of our space and cleaned up all mess that resulted from the fix. He was friendly and informative and provided answers to the questions I had regarding what had happened. I had great service from all aspects of this call and appreciated that I didn't have to wait a long time to get an appointment. Thank you Atlas for the great service.

I bought a fridge from Atlas over 5 weeks ago. We were told 7 to 10 days for it to arrive. Ok, no problem. 3 weeks later, no fridge and no phone call as to where it is. We call them, we're told that its back ordered and it'll be another 5 business days. We wait another 7 business days to call because yet again nobody called to inform about where the fridge is and when it might be in. 3 days ago we call again and are told the fridge would be here in a day or 2 and we'd get a call to schedule a delivery. 3 days later no fridge and no phone call updating us as to what is going on. That brings us to today. Several phone calls later without anyone calling us back we decide to drive down there to cancel the order. I brought up the poor customer service and received excuses and no apology. We won't be shopping there again.

I just want to say how pleased I am with Heather in parts/repair. We had a lot of issues with another repair company and Heather really truly went above and beyond to help us out. She was friendly, courteous, helpful and understanding. She wasn't put off by the fact that I didn't call Atlas first and still helped us out. She really handled the situation well and we are so pleased. Our repair is scheduled for tomorrow and I hope the repair person is as great as Heather.

HORRIBLE experience. First, terrible customer service. Girl on the phone is consistently snotty and rude (I have had to speak with her multiple times). Refused to give me a time for an appointment and said that I would just have to be home all day so the technician could call when he was on the way. Tech didn't show up until almost 4PM. I had to take an entire day off work because these people can't figure out how to book appointments.

Washer was being fixed as part of a recall that is known to cause house fires. Tech showed up with wrong part (he didn't even read the work order and bought stuff for the wrong recall), then tried to tell me there really was no recall on my washer and didn't acknowledge he was wrong until I told him that I had already called the appliance manufacturer to confirm that there was a recall. Again, this is a recall known to cause HOUSE FIRES and he tried to deny that it exists it to cover up his mistake. He laughed about bringing the wrong stuff and walked out of the house - no word on rebooking or anything. Still not fixed. Snotty phone girl called me to book, refused to acknowledge my service issues, demanded to know why I wanted to speak to a manager and then told me nobody was available. NEVER USE THIS COMPANY. They are awful.

I have already called my appliance manufacturer to advise them of my horrid experience and have asked them not to use this company anymore. They assured me that they had talked to this Atlas and Atlas had promised them that they would book me in on the same day the part came in because I've now been without my washer for 2 weeks. Snotty phone girl stated she knows nothing about any of this and told me they were too busy to come until the middle of next week. Still refusing to give me an actual time for an appointment and seems to think it shouldn't be a big deal for me to take YET ANOTHER full day off work to sit and wait for a repair tech who may or may not read the work order and show up with the right parts.

I will never use Atlas for anything else. I advise you don't either. They are unreliable and rude. Poor follow-up, poor punctuality, poor timelines and terrible service.

EDIT: In response to the company response below. I managed to find the recall information on GE's website... including a photo of my washing machine as there were 2 different control panels and only one (the one I have) needed the control panel. In speaking with the manufacturer of my washer, the parts you brought were for a 2012 recall, as there was only one recall in 2010 for my washer. If there was any confusion at all in regards to which recall it was then you should have contacted the manufacturer and asked... seeing as it took a week and a half for you to come to my house the first time you would have had time to order parts.

Second, in regards to your "two business days" response. You tried to book me for Tuesday. It's Thursday today. That is more then 2 business days. Also, I was never offered a weekend appointment, or I would have taken it.

Yes, the repair tech did call me at 9AM on Monday to let me know they would be there between 2 and 4.. but since I didn't get that call until Monday and I work a significant drive away from my house, I was not able to schedule my work day to accommodate an appointment that would not be known until 9AM and therefore had to take the day off. Had I been told when I booked the appointment that it would be between 2 and 4 I could have made arrangements. To be clear, the initial day off for the appointment was not a problem. I expect to need to make an appointment and perhaps to even have to wait when an appliance repair is needed. I also expect the company hired to do said repair to do their due diligence and ensure they have all of the parts required so that things go smoothly, especially when there is at least a week wait between the time the appointment is requested and the actual appointment.

The technician was pleasant to deal with and did a good job. The office staff was difficult to deal with. I found the lady who answered the phones to be very rude and very challenging to deal with. We were told they would call us when our part was in—they didn’t and it sat there. When we called, the lady at the front office was abrupt and told us it would be another week before she could get a technician out (we had already waited over a week). She actually hung up on us when we asked to speak with a manager. Decent service from the technician but not worth it having to deal with the office staff.

THANK YOU!
Great service. It started right away in the store. However, the extra special service came with the installation. The gentleman who installed my dishwasher was professional but also extremely personable. He did a great job and it was fun talking with him while he was working. I would highly recommend your company.

I wanted to tell you that reason I came to your store, and felt comfortable to drop $3100 within a half hour was because of the service I've received. No slick talking appliance sales guys. Believe me I've talked to quite a few! The feeling talking to you and Fred- who made the sale was twofold: sincerity and knowledge. Plus the effort - explaining things, taking time to answer emails on your part and the time Fred took and his amazing product knowledge. I had previously bought my appliances primarily at Trail over the years but liked their 'showmanship' less and less. You've got a new fan - this is where I'll come when we upgrade the other appliances in the house. We don't need to shop around anymore.

I purchased an upright freezer on Monday and it was delivered Wednesday as promised, on time, and within the window of time they promised unlike other companies. Delivery guys were efficient and polite.
