This man charged us $400 to look at our hot tub and said we needed a new control board that he would sell us for over $1300 plus at least another $400 to install. We had another tech diagnose the issue as a faulty heater that cost $150 and he replaced it for less than $200. I dont know how he can live with himself knowing that he is purposely bilking people out of so much money. I hope people read these reviews before they hire him to come to their home. I wish I had read the reviews first. We plan on taking him to small claims court to recover our money and call attention to this man being

He requested $400 cash to show up, which would cover his "trip charge" and the first hour of work. No problem, we scheduled an appointment. Called me to let me know he was 20 minutes away. 1.5 hours later still had not arrived. Left him voicemail that I was leaving unless I heard from him in five minutes. He called back 20 minutes later,said he was in my neighborhood, just could not find my house. Gave instructions, he said he'd be there in 2 minutes, I told him I was turning around to come back. Got back to house, not there. Tried calling him 5 times, never answered. Finally

Cost of $400 just for him to show up for 1 hour. He preceded to cut all plug connections to pumps and heater to test. I told him they all work which h3 confirmed after hot wiring each part. He then told me I needed a new power pack for the price of $1,375 and then another $400 for another service call and 1 hour to make all connections. I told him I needed to think about it so he just put everything back in pack and left. He spent more time talkin* stories than working..SCAM..do not use.

Unfortunately I would not recommend Carl. I was hopeful (despite his recent reviews) when he originally called me back bc I couldn't find anyone that was still in business for hot tub repairs for an older hot tub in my area. Carl did not show up for our scheduled appointment, offered no apologies, was rude and very unprofessional. Thankfully I found someone else.

TOTAL SCAMMER!!!!!! DO NOT HIRE!!!! He showed up 3 hours late, demanded $400 cash. He told me the amount was for his service call, finding the problem, and 2 hours of labor and most parts. We already located the issue, he said he could fix it, I gave him the cash. He then said it would cost me another $370 for parts and labor. I told him no that was not our agreement, he said it is what it is. When I asked for my $200 back since there was no parts, no labor and 24 minutes of his time he refused. He was very unprofessional, he seemed to be on some type of alcohol or drugs. I was very nervous

This guy is a crook, a scam artist and knows nothing about hot tubs. Had to kick him out of the house, but of course he got his pre payment. If you are going to throw your money away using this guy, at least give it to charity so it's put to good use.

Wanted money in advance- first warning sign. Did not fix anything - second problem.
Kept the money and was very smug about it - third problem.
BBB has this guy tied to Tri County Kitchens & Bath. Both have numerous complaints and are under alert with the BBB. Scam artists! I filed a complaint with Ohio Attorney General on behalf of my client. We will be filing suit in small claims court. Have they taken your money? Advise you to do the same.
