Thomas Timothy Memphis, TN

It has taken over a month and my dishwasher is still not fixed. Too many authorization steps and multiple visits required due to gaining authorization. This should not require my involvement or follow up as your customer. I have yet to call in and wait less than 45 minutes to speak to an agent

Madeline Ortiz Deltona, FL

On April 25, 2020 I placed a call for service for the property at 974 Deltona Blvd, Florida for several plumbing issues with my biggest concern being the toilet. It wasn't until May 2nd that it was finally fixed but to get to this point I had to endure over 16 hours worth of phone calls, repeatedly asking to speak to a supervisor with no avail. It wasn't by pure chance that I was transferred to Carlton and he went out of his way to help my uncle (disabled senior citizen) have his toilet replaced after 7 days. This was the only toilet in the bathroom at the home during a pandemic and he was left with minimal choices to take care of his necessity - inhumane!! In addition to that the other issues still have not all been completed. How many times must I call to have the issues resolves and to top it off your phone systems during this pandemic have been unacceptable - the non working systems should have been addressed asap their are people depending on your services which you get paid quite well. I have 3 contracts and I am reconsidering it if the customer service aspect does not improve!

Anonymous San Antonio, TX

They often decline claims for “speculation” reasons. For example, the contractor inspecting a heat transformer claimed that it “could have” been cause by a gecko, or “could have” have been cause by power surge, or “could” just be old. They declined because it was a possibility of being cause by a “pest” which is excluded from coverage. No proof of what caused it, just speculation,so they declined coverage. This has happened twice.

C. Taras Washoe Valley, NV

We have had them for years and for appliances they have been great. However, when it comes to heating and air their choice of contractors leaves something to be desired. We have in the past 3 years have had instances requiring the services of a heating and air company through AHS which has proved to be a complete mess. Each time AHS has sent A1 Quality HVAC to our residence and they have sent clueless individuals, and have created problems that either required that they send someone else out, or a bad diagnosis causing us to call in a HVAC company not covered by AHS. AHS needs to get another HVAC company to represent them.

When I initially called and was assigned a plumber who had some very bad internet ratings, I asked to get another plumber but after a huge amount of time on the phone, I was there way I could have another plumber. I finally had to cancel the service request and reinstate another service request to get a plumber who was superb.

AHS got a service person out quickly but he said my washing machine was not repairable. I was told I would be emailed with options. That’s been 5 days and not a word. There is no way to communicate through my account. I call phone numbers and wait on hold for 30 minutes. Call again and wait 10 and then I see this email requesting my review. Maybe you guys at Best can contact someone for me.

There is nothing that stands out about there service. In most cases the monthly rates are higher. If you have issues--can't get a person the the phone and if you do get a person there is a communication problem. You have to talk with several people to get the right info. This can be exhasting and irritating

After paying a service fee monthly, customers are then charged a $75 fee each time a service call is placed. This service call fee is too high. Secondly, there should be the ability online to submit a recall ticket for same issue without being charged another service fee.

American, Home shield is a good back up plan for future repairs.
