I called Eric and he answered the phone but said he was driving so asked for my phone number and said he would call back. No return call for days. Called the same number and left a message to call me and left my phone number again. No return call for days. Finally found someone located in Long Beach who was courteous, prompt and reasonable. I have left their info on this site.
Description of Work: Needed someone to diagnose what caused my treadmill to suddenly stop working.

No return call, so it went no place. I finally figured that I would just buy a new treadmill.

He returned our call to my cell phone via my Bluetooth in my vehicle and we explained what was going on with our treadmill on June 28, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight. He then told us that we just needed a new safety key. He said it would cost $39.95 and it would be shipped directly to us. He then asked for our credit card number and explained that he would expedite it. I told him I was driving and can't take out my wallet and then asked him to fax the bill to us before we would give our credit card info. I asked him to make sure to put all the details on the bill. When we got home there was no fax and no bill. On July 2, 2013 I finally gave him my credit card information so that he would ship the key. He said he was going to charge us $39.95 but he then charged us $63.89 without myself nor my wife's approval. He had still not sent a bill nor a fax. He is now saying that he never said the key will fix it and if he comes out it will be an additional $89.95 service call charge plus whatever it cost to fix the treadmill.
Description of Work: We called him initially on the June 28, 2013 in the early A.M. to discuss our issue with our treadmill. He did not answer so we left our contact info/cell information and issue on his voicemail.

He said he'd come between 12 and 5 p.m., and would call 30 mins before showing up. He did just that. He was very warm, explained everything that was wrong with it, showed me photos he'd taken of the problem areas, and was extremely reasonable. He said he'd make a note of all the things that might need to be rectified in the future, would contact me in a year to remind me about a tune up and bring the parts that would likely need replacing. He was awesome. A very nice person and wonderful to deal with.
Description of Work: My elliptical machine was screeching so loudly my dogs would leave the room. It became torturous to exercise. I called and spoke with Eric, who was very generous with his time and explained everything I needed to know.

I realize this is WAY after the fact, but I only just came back here and saw Eric's long response to my previous review. What I didn't do, at the time, and should have, was add the fact that I called another service man to try and resolve my initial problem. Instead of saying that I needed a new belt and mother board (at a cost of close to $1,000) he said I needed to lubricate the belt (at the cost of about $5.00). I did that and the treadmill has worked ever since. I am, therefore, quite thankful that Eric didn't respond to my phone calls as it would have cost me tremendously if he had.
Description of Work: See above review.

We called numerous providers on Angies list and this was the first company that responded with pricing and a date. We took the date then compared pricing with others that called back. We decided to stay with this company and we are glad we did. The service was great, professional and did what he said he would do in the time he said he would do it.

On Monday (May 10th), I called him (left a message, but when I didn't hear back, I called again) to say that we wanted to go ahead with the repair. He said he would get an estimate. On Friday (having heard nothing) I called him to inquire. He said he hadn't heard back from the company he called, but would call me back in two minutes. It is now Monday. Again, I had to call him. If it's this difficult and time consuming to just get an estimate, it worries me about the actual job. So, I told Eric to forget it I was going to move on. No apologies. Just an "uh, okay."
Description of Work: Eric came to look at our treadmill that was broken on Friday, May 7th. He said that he would call around 11:00 a.m. that morning to give us a better time (he had initially given us a five-hour waiting time). He never called. We ended up being his last job of the day. After careful examination he determined the treadmill needed a new master control and a new belt (both expensive items). We paid him for the service call.

Response from Expert Gym Service & Treadmill Repair
Unfortunately, there are more than a few treadmill manufacturers that are difficult to get an answer from, and reaching them can entail waiting on hold for 20-30 minutes, only then to be given the option to leave a message in hopes of getting a call back from that treadmill manufacturer. Sometimes they will not call back for days or weeks, (if they call back at all. Some never do, sometimes the only way to get through to the manufacturers tech support or parts department is to repeatedly call them and wait on hold at less busy times until we reach someone) and when they do, may or may not have researched the information given on the recorded message, necessitating us digging out that information and repeating it, only to have the representative of that treadmill company say they'll look into it and get back to us, starting a new round of waiting (or hounding). Sometimes we have placed the order for your parts, have paid for it, and it simply doesn't come, necessitating us starting the whole process again to ascertain what went wrong to prevent them shipping the part. It's very unfortunate for both the customer and our reputation that this is so, but we have finite resources and cannot devote hours out of our day every day to attempting to reach these companies, and instead must do a kind of triage, devoting a reasonable amount of time to each customer so that we can successfully help as many people as possible and earn enough money to stay in business so that we may help even more, and must rely upon the manufacturers to do their part. And when we say we will call you back, it is with the honest hope that we can call you back with good news or at least more information. If we're waiting for the manufacturer to call us back, and we don't have ANY news OR information, it doesn't make sense and we simply can't call you repeatedly just to inform you that they haven't called yet, if that means neglecting other customers. It is both good and bad that we are a small company- good, in that we are able to usually quickly respond to requests for help in servicing and repairing customers' equipment, and bad in that we don't have unlimited time and resources to hound unresponsive treadmill manufacturers relentlessly for hours every day in order to get answers or parts for you. We do honestly like helping people, and do our best to do so as quickly and efficiently as possible. But if we can't get a part for you, there's little we can do, if macgyvering a solution is not possible. Some treadmill manufacturers apparently feel that their attention is better spent on selling new units rather than supporting repairing older models. We have had our share of problems with treadmill manufacturers ourselves, including paying thousands of dollars for parts that took forever to be shipped, being billed twice for orders, etc. We do manage to get these situations straightened out eventually, since fixing things is what we do, whether that be situations or malfunctions. Member, if we were unable to get your treadmill fixed in a timely fashion, I hereby apologize, and further apologize if our response to your decision was lacking or if you feel it was inadequate. It is certainly not our wish to have to spend that much time and effort in order to repair something as it is not profitable for us, and bad for our reputation to boot. We do our best to help as many as we can, as quickly as we can, and the many testimonials on our website reflect that. You were one of the unlucky few whose treadmill manufacturers are uncooperative, which is completely out of our control. Even so, I sympathize with you and how you probably felt at being delayed, and ask that you try and see it from our perspective as well, that there is no point, and no profit in us delaying, and it is frustrating for us as well to have spent all that time trying to help you, stopped by forces out of our control, and held responsible for it, and receiving not only no reward at the end of the whole process, but rather a bad review. I understand you feel justified in writing it, but hopefully this will help you see a little bit of our world and understand that it is never our intention to delay any repair, why it was delayed, and why it is better for everyone, in every way, to have it done as quickly as possible, and that if it were up to us, it would have been. And for the vast majority of our clients, repairs are done as quickly as possible, ranging from on-the-spot permanent repairs with parts on hand, or if parts are needed, as quickly as 1-3 days to having the repair completed (if parts are available locally) to the average of about 1-2 weeks until the repair is completed if parts are needed that are not available locally and must be shipped from the United States or even outside of the U.S.. Unfortunately, it is an imperfect world. If it were not, our services would not be needed, and so we have come to accept that even as we work every day to make it operate as smoothly and effectively as possible.
