what would you do, but they don't know you know there lying ?

Needs honest opinions
 
Didn't install the boiler but have been servicing it for the last 3 years etc

Get a phone call today about a job a Monday afternoon

Full strip down of a Worcester 30si compact

So parts ordered eg gaskets and probes

Get a phone call today, some how he's got in his head it's not registered with Worcester

So he phones worcester up and they said they will find out

So he phones me up and asks if there's any problem to me if it's not registered, I say nope and are we still on for Monday afternoon (yep)

So Worcester phone him back it's registered and everything's fine and we will do the full strip for ÂŁ126

Cus phones me back and says it's registered and we're going with Worcester for the service this year

At this point my blood is boiling at Worcester, I say are you sure it's the same eg full strip

Cus says ok I'll ask

At this point I text my rep mate and ask him what the frig is going on

Customer phones back it is sorry but I'm going with them as yours is ÂŁ170

Ok end call

Get a phone call after from the rep

In short as this post is long already :D

There going out in the end of January for a simple service and according to my rep they said it hasn't been serviced and they have no one to service it

What to do now ?

And FYI there happy with our past services
 
Er, blimey !! Really not sure .
However , if one of my customers did that I would say bye bye .

Sorry cant be much help mate
 
Would not worry to much mate. They will be back when they realise. It’s only one customer.
 
How much are worcester charging?
Is the customer confused over your price? 126 or 170

129 for a simple service (but cus thinks it's a full strip)

We change 170 including parts

Yep same as me then
 
I think sometimes it's worth to make them realise that they are lying. Furthermore I wouldn't be bothered and get rid of the customer. Not worth keeping customers like this. They don't seem respecting and appreciating your good works.

I'm not saying you have to make them aware of their lies but definitely get rid of customers like this. They are not worth it or profitable
