    Advertising Review:

    On March 01, 2022, Better Business Bureau contacted First Call Jewel, Inc. concerning the following advertising claims found on their website,http://www.firstcalljewel.com/: 


    - "Licensed, Bonded & Insured. Our team is background checked, drug tested, trained, and certified in all areas of expertise. Customer satisfaction is a guarantee". BBB requested documentation that substantiates these claims (certification, training, etc.). Additionally, BBB was unable to locate the terms and conditions regarding the customer satisfaction guarantee.  


    - "With bilingual technicians, same-day service, and our total customer satisfaction guarantee, we’re always prepared to answer your call and provide you with the solutions you need, and to make sure that the job gets done right the first time". BBB was unable to locate the terms and conditions regarding the total customer satisfaction guarantee.

     

    - "Our work is backed by warranties and our personal complete customer satisfaction guarantee, and with flexible financing and multiple service options, we’ll help you develop a personalized plan to address all of your plumbing needs". BBB was unable to locate the terms and conditions regarding the warranties and satisfaction guarantee. 


    -"You can save a lot of money and a lot of time if you just trust First Call Jewel for all your electrical needs" 


    Advertisements should be truthful, sincere offers to sell. Advertisers have a responsibility to have substantiation for all claims made and should be able to provide that substantiation upon request. All advertising that may mislead or deceive consumers should be avoided. 


    When using the term “warranty” or “guarantee” the advertiser should clearly and conspicuously include a statement that the complete details of the warranty can be seen prior to the sale, which could include putting it on the seller’s website. Advertisers should disclose any material limitations on a "satisfaction guarantee" or "money-back guarantee" and define, for consumers, the meaning of claims such as "lifetime guarantee". 


    Claims that relate to tangible qualities and performance values of a product or service can be used when the advertiser has substantiation.  


    Claims relating to performance, energy savings, safety, efficacy or results for a product or service should be based on recent and competent testing or other objective data. 


    Despite written requests, as of March 23, 2022, First Call Jewel, Inc. has not responded to BBB’s request for revisions and clarification in its advertising.

    I started experiencing electrical problems in my home. Lacking experience with electrical problems I called First Call Jewel based in ***********. I called only because I recognized the company's name from local adverts. They sent an employee and I told him what was happening. He checked my main breaker box and said he would have to change out two breakers. Having completed this he said that he could find nothing else that could be wrong. Several days later the same problem happened. I called the office in *********** and he was sent out again. He checked the breaker box again but found no problems there. He told me that the next step may include opening walls to try and find where the problem could be. I declined any further work to be done by the company. Now I ask myself, was this person a licensed electrician or was he not. Poor service and for me a high price. I was charged $725 for 90 minutes of work only to be left with the same problem as before. Stay clear of this company. I wish unions were still around because someone has to be a check on the poor practices that lead to poor service and high prices from unaccountable companies. ****************
