      Complaint Type:
      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Answered
      I sent an email characterizing my concerns. Provided below. They have double charged for "leaving the building" and "diagnosing the problem" when both of these tasks were completed during the 1hr service call (that was covered by the warrantee). The email contentions were confirmed. Email exchange on August 31st 2022. Email Sent Thank you. So to be clear, the warrantee covered the 1hr of service. Clearly, you cannot conduct service without leaving the office nor diagnosing the problem. So, the warrantee covers leaving the office for service but not diagnosis. This statement remains true even though the office was only left once. The diagnosis occurred within the 1hr already covered for service, and the same people conducted both diagnosis and service, so you are charging an hour of service and a separate charge for diagnosis although both happened within the same hour. By confirming the above, you are agreeing that you have charged twice for tasks implicit to the repair task within the same hour that was covered by the warrantee. ***** Email Response The warranty only covers service performed after the point of diagnosis. The warranty does not cover any portion of call outs or diagnoses. This is true across most businesses, similar to how your automotive warranty would not cover the initial inspection. The rate of $80 covers the Call Out and Diagnosis, and the first hour of labour is provided at a discounted rate. Additional hours are charged at $139/h.

      We are happy with the pool installed in the summer of 2022. However we were overcharged by $8,903. In May 2022 before installation was complete the owner asked for a final payment of $16,097. We asked for a detailed costing from Lakeside as their figures did not match ours. They had omitted recording our payment of $25,000 in March 2021. We notified Lakeside of the discrepancy several times but received no response. Finally in November ************************************************** December received a judgment against the company. Still no response and when the owner was instructed to attend a court hearing he didnt show up. As a result the judge ordered him to attend a contempt hearing in December 2023 (which can result in jail time). The owner attended and agreed to pay the money owed in a series of three cheques. Finally in February 2024, almost two years after we asked for our money to be returned, we have received payment.
