Go Assist - Appliance Repairs, Plumbers, Boiler Engineers & Electricians drew repeated complaints about repairs that were not fixed and extra charges. Several reviewers said they were signed up to a warranty or membership they did not agree to and were charged to cancel it. Some reported being quoted more for parts after the first visit, while others said money was still being taken after they thought a plan was cancelled. One reviewer said a visit ended with a wrong diagnosis, and another said an oven was left unrepaired for nearly three months.
Elderly customer left out of pocket — would not use again based on our experience My 86-year-old mother had a leaking boiler. Go Assist arranged a same-day visit (which we appreciated), but the engineer stayed about 10 minutes, diagnosed a part replacement, then left. The next day we received another quote for £108, on top of the £131 call-out fee and £13 plan charge. We cancelled (another £50 fee) and used an independent engineer, who fixed it in 30 minutes — no parts needed, just a simple exit-pipe push-fit reconnection resolved the issue. Update, nearly a year later: Go Assist promised to investigate. Suffice it to say, absolutely nothing was done to date ... Steer well clear.
Do not use this company, they are a disgrace. They've been to our house several times and fitted parts to our fridge costing £660.00 The fridge still has the same problem. Hopefully they will do the right thing and refund my money.
On the 24th of February 2025 I requested in Leicester a repair for my freezer. This cost £139 for the initial diagnosis. The fridge was working fine and was still full of food. Trevor was very confident when he arrived and diagnosed the problem very quickly without checking the compressor just by what we said - said it was a common fault. A new thermostat sensor was ordered and an additional £55.14 was paid for the new part. On the 19/3 Trevor replaced the sensor of the freezer and said that it would be working/ running at required temperature as new in 24 hours. By the end of the same day both the fridge and the freezer were not working.Temperature was 8-10 degrees for the fridge resulted in spoiled food and milk. We alerted the Customer Service Department the day after and the next day that he could make it to our house was today. Today (24/3) Trevor said that this is beyond him and he would ask his manager about it - when I questioned him he finally thought to check the compressor at the back of the fridge and he diagnosed that the fridge freezer are faulty beyond repair as the compressor is faulty and is very expensive to repair. He did admit that his diagnostic was wrong but he did not even apologise for the inconvenience that has caused to a running family, not even to take responsibility for the fact that actually he only checked the compressor on the 3rd visit. He denied that this was negligence from his part and directed us to his manger as he was sure that they “will back him up” as were his words. We were then offered £40 off for an appliance off their site via a generic email sent to us 3 hours later. In the meantime we have managed to speak to a very friendly person ( female) on customer service who has agreed with our concerns and has been chasing the manager who has not replied to us.
Absolutely fuming. Took out a repair in 2022, changed my mind and cancelled, full refund issued and now I find they have been taking money out of my account for 3 years totalling £189.97, they are saying I didn't cancel membership, I have never used it and thought this was my breakdown cover previously. They are refusing to refund my money. Do not have any dealing with this company. And they are not worthy of 1 star but you can't rate a 0
Basically a scam service. The guy who came out had no clue what he was doing then they ordered a part that was over priced and couldn’t fit it for weeks. Useless.
Great company for taking your money and never getting back to you it is 12th December and I have been waiting since 4th October they failed to attend 1 appointment then they had ordered the wrong parts then they have told me I can’t prebook an engineer even though I have a young family and Christmas is coming. I have been without my oven for nearly 3 months. Terrible experience.
3 months later and £400 later they still not fixed the fridge and they want another £200! Is a SCAM
Absolute robbery! £99 for them to come and diagnose a fault which I told them was the issue before they come, to then tell me it’s a further charge of £135 for parts, website states no hidden costs or fee’s, also enrolled me into a direct debit agreement for warranty which I did NOT agree to and I’ve cancelled it and got charged a further £50 for cancelling. I was told for £99 it would be repaired same day but they want more money, total would be £234 and a brand new tumble dryer costs £250 anyway! Absolute robbery stay away do not use them! Seems other reviews are similar to mine also! The part they stated costing £135 was actually £58 online which I bought myself and plugged it back in as a replacement control module and it was sorted. Never ever again
£130 terms and conditions confusing. Automotic enrollment to an unwanted membership. Asked for further £155 for a part to fix the washing machine. Do not recommend. Engineer attending was okay. However he determined the same fault as I stated in the phone conversation with the customer service. It stated no hidden fees in the advert and that they evaluate the price based on the fault with the appliance. Based on this you would expect them to include the price of the part. As said, misleading advertising.
Force you into expensive unnecessary warrantee/ insurance, then will charge you to cancel. Massively unhelpful. Scam. Avoid. They'll complete the repair then tell you I'll cost extra and threaten "ill undo the repair if you don't pay the extra." Didn't even care i have a sick child who needs to eat as part of their condition.
Please do not spend your money here if they make a mistake they will make you pay for it without chance for a refund
