vaillant boiler service is really rubbish

[bluesky]

recently installed a vaillant boiler, leaking, called them, engineer did not turn up, called again, said i should pay for 13 pounds car parking, that means i have to wait in the car park for a whole day? landlord does not want to pay for it, then vaillant refused to repair it, what a rubbish service! leave the customer in cold...

It is poor,as the engineer would get it back on expenses!!if it's a permit situation ie London/Brighton then I would expect some help from home owner.
Let us know how you get on

Love permits. Newcastle City council told us to pop to van every 15 mins won't get a ticket even when on yellows...... Longest we have tried is 4 hours

Yeah I agree vaillant service is poor. They look for installation faults and slag off the installer. My mate fitted one and that I commissioned and they went back to look at something. Told the customer that it should have never been fitted as it is oversized and that they have paid more than they should for the boiler. It can be down rated so rather than shut up about it he made him look bad and customer wasn't happy. Have also had to go back to another one before they would repair to sleeve a 1 1/4 Condemse pipe. That said they are the best boiler in my opinion and we have fitted around 50 the last couple of years. Rarely get a call back. heard worcester are good for there manufacturer recalls

Wouldn't touch Vaillant with a bargepole use to be good but there tech helpline is (or Was) a joke, they lost me as an installer 3 years ago.

terrible manu always blame installer we fit hundreds, last year there was definatly a problem with gas valves the engineers were making us clean the heating system just to play for time even though we send off water samples to fernox to activate the guarantee and when I had the plug they supply incorrectly marked up they argued the plug was green not blue, how pathetically childish I fit them cause I have to not want to
