The worst customer service of my life
My just over 1 year old dishwasher was defective and I made the mistake of going to Platinum Appliance. They dispatched Jason, whom others here have complained, who showed up and within minutes of arrival, stormed out of the house without completing the repair. Reason: he was bothered by our friendly puppy who was simply happy to see him. We immediately locked up the dog but Jason refused to come back. Even my cleaning lady was assuring him he would not be a problem and he rudely scorned her "who are you???" To add insult to injury, they have the gall to send me a bill for the service that was not performed. Attempts to deal with it at the time involved staff refusing to get Jason on the line, but sending him text messages instead. After 3 calls begging them to please have him come back – I had booked the morning off work for Jason’s appointment – they told me “he has already left the area.” What a joke. Attempts to deal with any sort of manager was not successful – “Dale” is the manager in question but staff refuse to give his email or take a message for call back. If you care about good customer service, say “no” if you are faced with the sad prospect of dealing with this incompetent company.
NEVER AGAIN - STAY AWAY FROM PLATINUM APPLIANCE.

Sir, I remember this situation clearly, in early January of this year. At the time of the incident you were not home, only your wife and cleaning person. Your version of the events is not entirely clear. Our technician suffers from back pain and your dog not only jumped on him in greeting, but also stepped on him several times while he was on the floor attempting to look at the dishwasher. At this point the technician decided he could not continue his repair attempts any longer, and only then did your wife offer to put the dog away.
I myself offered several times to have another technician come to your house before noon that day, as I could not convince the technician to come back again. You refused that option, stating that you had another company already coming. I tried to rectify the situation, you would not allow me to.
As for our service manager, he is very busy and is rarely in the office as he completes deliveries during the day, and it is our job in the office to field the complaints that go to him and handle them accordingly. We did take a message for our manager, but since you called back several times in a matter of ten minutes, he had not yet been given the message as he was out of the office at the time.
The charge for service comes directly from Whirlpool, who you contacted for service. We are just contracted by them. The service call is owed to Whirlpool Canada for having a technician come to the home. If you have any issues with the amount owing, you can contact them directly at 1-800-807-6777.
