It went very well. They called back in about 18hours. It took more than a week for them to receive parts, but I had to call them to follow-up about that. The service person who came to our home was perfectly professional and pleasant and finished the job in good time.
Description of Work: Our treadmill had ceased functioning.

He made sure to arrive on time even though he was very busy and traffic was crazy coming to my home. I really appreciated the effort and his word.

They broke my treadmill. I have a good True treadmill. I did a lot of research when I went to buy it. I spent the extra money. I bought something sturdy to last through the years. I use my treadmill four or five times a week. It is about two years old. It started to squeak. These guys were recommended for service by the store where I bought the treadmill. I made an appointment and rearranged my schedule to have the belt greased. After they left, the front of the treadmill rocked back and forth when I ran on it. This had never happened before. I called them to come back. They came back and tightened some bolts, I guess. A few weeks later, it started to rock back and forth again. Now, they want to "cut me a break" and charge me $90/hour to come fix the problem all over again. So, basically, I had a squeak. I called for a tune up. Now I have a completely unstable treadmill. And these guys are unable to fix the problem they caused. If you want broken equipment, these guys do a great job of breaking your expensive investments.
Description of Work: I needed my treadmill tuned up. The belt was squeaking. They need a four hour window on a weekday, so I had to make sure somebody was in my home for an entire afternoon.

They were great! The repairman called as promised a half hour before his arrival. It was not an easy repair. After repairing several components, the mechanism which operated the elevation element was giving him real problems. He kept working at it and with perseverance and creativity got it to work, perfectly! He so easily could have given up, and I would have had to buy a new treadmill, ugh! I really appreciate the extra time, ingenuity and effort he took to get my faithful old treadmill back to perfect working order. I highly recommend AK Treadmill Repair Specialists and I will definitely be using them again when needed.
Description of Work: My 20+ year old PaceMaster treadmill stopped working properly. I called and explained the problem. The gentleman on the phone explained that parts were no longer being manufactured for my model PaceMaster. They would come out and try to fix but it could prove problematic if parts were required. They scheduled an appointment giving me a four hour range and asked if I would like to be called a half hour prior to their arrival. I said yes.

On our first contact to the manufacturer they sent parts to deal with the issue. It took a week to get the first appointment with AK Treadmill. They hardly ever pick up the phone but will get back to you within the next two days. Then AK sent somebody for the repair. Their guy showed up hours late. He looked at the brandnew unit and claimed that all of these would make some noise. After I told him that that was unacceptable he banged at the machine with a clamp (because he did not have a hammer) and then tried to bend some cover tins - to no avail. He could not find the source of the noise and tried to install the parts from the manufacturer. Then he claimed those parts were not right and left and wanted to order new parts. To get a new appointment took more than a week and the same guy came next time and tried to used his skills. He had forgotten to order the bolts for the new parts - they could not be put in. He tried to disassemble a few parts and reassemble them - only to experience an additional grinding noise. He wanted to order additional parts. Well, the next four weeks we experienced the same slow procedures getting parts and an appointment. The same guy came out another two times and was not able to repair our new machine. But then he tried to blame us for the malfunctioning by reporting to the manufacturer that the unit had not been staged in the right place - exposed to heat and humidity. That was absolutely untrue - the unit was fully covered and leveled from the beginning. After many phone calls to the manufacturer they suggested to send parts directly to me and that I did the repair myself. I agreed wholeheartedly. I got the parts, exchanged them, put everything together thoroughly and since then we are finally (after more than six weeks and four visits from them) able to use our machine without problems. AK Treadmill has several addresses, this guy came from the above address, but he could have been a sub contractor. Their Website www.repairmyexerciseequipment.com. Look at a review on Yahoo. All in all a horrible experience. Long waiting for an appointment. Their guy was not able to fix the problem
Description of Work: after buying an AFG crosstrainer we experienced a loud clicking noise while using it the first time. We contacted the manufacturer and they authorised AK Treadmill to come out.

Terrible.
Description of Work: I don't understand the high marks this company has received, but right from the start, the customer service was terrible. We are working people and we (may wife and I) cannot take time off work at anytime. When we tried to make an appointment and asked for a late afternoon appointment we were giving a 6 hour window! 6 hours? Not even the cable company gives us a 6 hour window. In fact the cable company and other vendors on Angie's list give a 2 to 4 hour window. But the worst was when trying to negotiate with the manager/owner himself. He was rude and condescending. We will never recommend this company.

He did a really good job. He was clean and tidy. He did what he said he would do. He was busy. It took three different calls to get him here.

Description of Work: Despite a very rocky start, this company refused to drop the ball. They picked up the ball and did ultimately after a number of attempts which they didn't charge me for, actually repaired a 20 year old treadmill. I appreciate their persistence in convincing me that they could get the job done.

Everyone at AK Treadmill was very knowledgeable (Wayne in parts knew exactly what to do) and courteous. Jose came in the pouring rain but didn't leave a single trace of mess. The service was prompt and efficient and done in half an hour
Description of Work: Needed service on 2003 Precor treadmill. Treadmill was leaving grease on flooring. Was told by AK Treadmill that my model was under warranty service andthe replacement belts, board and labor would be covered by Precor due to an aluminum oxide issue causing the grease.

I left a message Sunday night. They called back Monday morning and set up an appointment for the next Wednesday. Showed up on time. Costs were exactly as described on the phone. The technician clearly explained what he was doing, why and patiently responded to my questions. I look forward to next year when they show up again for my treadmill's annual physical.
Description of Work: My treadmill was making an unpleasant noise. The manufacturer's rep was not responsive so I turned to Angie's List and found AK. I expected at least a weeks wait and possibly some major and/or expensive repair work. None of this is happened. See below for the happy ending. Routine maintenance is all that was needed, but it was the speed and professionalism that were impressive.

AK Treadmill Repair Specialists were recommended to me when I purchased my treadmill two years ago. I have now used them twice for yearly maintenance. The technicians are skilled, professional, thorough, and cheerful. The company services customers in a very wide area; I am not close to their "home address." I plan to call on this company for future maintenance of my treadmill, and for any problems that may occur. I know that they also service other exercise equipment.
Description of Work: AK Treadmill Repair Specialists recently performed yearly maintenance on my Landice treadmill. This included motor maintenance, waxing, lubrication, calibration, amp tests, adjusting of belts, vibration tests, and many other checks. I was completely satisfied and pleased with their service.
