“A complete shower of sh…! Engineer arrived to fix broken washing machine , which we told exactly what problem was. No spares with him even though it’s a common fault. Couldn’t find part no…to which my husband did. Finally when they found the part, they thought 3 weeks for delivery, not including an appointment for fitting was acceptable. Would give NO STARS . Circus🤡”

“GoAssist misdiagnosed what was wrong with my dishwasher. When the engineer attended to carry out the wrong repair, they did not stay to test it and the dishwasher was still broken. This was reported to GoAssist who ignored me for two weeks then told me they were 'still looking into it'. So over the course of two months all GoAssist has done is waste my time and I'm out £200 for nothing. They've said we would need to pay for yet another repair and no refund on the previous payments was possible. Would not recommend at all - avoid this business.”

“I used Go Assist to repair a washing machine that was jammed shut, with water and laundry inside. I paid 139 GBP upfront, and the 'engineer' went to the property 2 days later. He spent 10 mins there in total. He pulled the integrated machine from its fixture in the kitchen, breaking the wooden kitchen panel underneath in the process, he unplugged the machine and turned it on its side, at which point water flooded the machine itself (all of the electrics) and the kitchen. He fiddled around, opened the door, removed the contents, flooded the kitchen some more in the process, fiddled around some more, then stood it up and plugged it back in and told us to put it on in 15 mins and it should be 'fine'. He then left. 15 mins later, the machine goes on and the electrics pop and spark, and the whole house electricity goes. We called the engineer's company (sub-contracted by Go Assist) but said they had no record of this engineer and job. We called Go Asssit and they said they would 'get back to us'. We received an automated email saying the machine had been fixed, then a couple of hours later an other one saying it was beyond repair and here's 40 pounds off a new one that you can buy through Go Assist. Made a formal complaint to Go Assist by phone and email. Low and behold 2 weeks later and still haven't heard back from them. In the meantime, I have had to buy a new machine because that one has had its electrics flooded, but I used a local company called Village Appliances in Reading who have been absolutely super with installing and offering great prices. DO NOT USE GO ASSIST.”

“Do NOT use this service. Just phone a local engineer. They attempt to upsell to some extremely expensive membership which offers zero benefit as their prices are above market standard. The cost of a call out with them is significantly above the cost of sourcing an engineer directly and there is absolutely no recourse if the engineer turns up and can’t complete a repair. You just pay £140 for no outcome at all. Avoid at all costs.”

“I can't even imagine it!. Go Assist is now demanding I pay extra £50 on top of £108.99 already mis-sold to me without any benefit at all. They are cunning but aggressive and very bullish and very insensitive to customers plight!.”

“Despite the initial promising call to arrange a repair for my washing machine, I had a timeslot of 8-1 for an engineer to come out, however the website said the engineer would contact me prior to his arrival. He didn't contact me and the link to contact him didn't work until 9am due to GoAssist not opening until 9. He had showed up at 08:45 as shown on my doorbell cam, and I had no way of getting in touch until after 9, by then it was too late, I get no refund and charged a 2nd time if I want an engineer to try again. I will certainly be warning others on the online communities about this unless I get it resolved.”

“Really awful service. Very expensive, try to upsell you to a subscription model upfront. Not clear about the terms and conditions, principal among which is that you can pay vast sums to have somebody turn up and simply say it is unfixable with no labour included. I didn't need to pay £139 for someone to simply tell me what the problem was.”

“A lot of effort made by Go Assist and Big Warranties to pull you into their service and then the interest stopped. Paid £139 and the Engineer came out within a few days and very quickly diagnosed the problem with our fridge freezer. Said he would arrange for the part to be ordered. THREE WEEKS LATER, the engineer came back and replaced the part. There are 3 parts to this service - Big Warranty, Go Assist and Go Repair. You are sent automated emails and texts that don't make any sense, when you call you are given conflicting information, misinformation (lies) and fobbed off. If you request to speak with a supervisor, they don't call you back. Although perfectly nice people, they don't take a handle of the problem and deal with it. I lost count of the number of times I was told "the part is on its way" when clearly it wasn't or the wrong part arrived and they had to order it again. The quote for the part was well over the going rate and that was just a google search.... I do not recommend this company at all - try to find a local engineer and you will get a much cheaper, quicker and professional service. I'm not bothering to make a complaint to the company as I know I will just receive an empty sorry and I'm quite sure the service will not improve.”

“As the other reviews say- my mother took out a £9.99 insurance policy with this company. Got charged £90 for a call out where the guy did nothing and washing machine seized after he’d gone. They charged me £50 to cancel the policy. Avoid this lot .”

“Joined the membership and had to pay upfront before the engineer had come to assess the repair. He looked at the machine and said it needed a new drum. This took him 30 sec. The repair was going to cost an additional £450 which was not going to be cost effective. Next day I tried to cancel the membership but was told I had to pay £50 cancellation fee. I have spent hours on the phone with some very obnoxious men but to no avail . They won't budge . AVOID AVOID AVOID this firm they are a call centre and their prices are highly inflated and don't join the membership because if you do there is no chance of cancelling without a fee even if it is the day after you joined. I paid £112 for a 30 sec call out . BEWARE. AVOID . WORST FIRM I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH .”

“Be very, very careful agreeing to any repairs with this company. My heavily pregnant partner phoned up to request a dishwasher repair. Company took all the details whilst dumping 15 minutes worth of T&Cs onto my partner over the phone, before taking payment for £99 and a £10 p/m insurance policy. Company sent round a handyman to have a look at the dishwasher who was in the house for approximately 2 minutes, already knew the fault, and left without inspecting the dishwasher. Partner was then quoted £200 for repairs and was told that the initial payment for "labour and call out" could not be refunded as the handyman had attended the property (what for?). When my partner called to question the price of replacement parts, refund policy (some of which were never sent in writing), and the insurance policy for a non-inspected machine, the company washed their hands of the matter and kept £150 - in exchange for a fleeting visit of 2 minutes by a person who already knew the fault. No idea what the company believe they did to justify the money they've taken, absolutely appalling customer service both when selling the policy and dealing with the complaint, and absurdly high charges for parts that can be found cheaper if you purchase them yourself.”

“Beware! Looks like this company ‘auto renews’ their so called membership without any warning! No emails received to explain this would happen, no warning close to the date the payment was taken. Even when we did use the site, before knowing all this, we had trouble getting someone out to do the repair. Avoid!”
