[Resolved]  Godrej Smart Care — Bad customer service. Charged for service but issue not resolved

I own a godrej fully automatic Washing machine.
I had logged a complaint bearing call# 885940.

During transit, the top panel of the machine was damaged and the washing drum used to slide down when clothes and water was added into it.
I called Godrej Smart Care and lodged a complaint. This was forwarded to United Home Care at Noida.

Initially a person visited my home and had a sight of the washing machine and also charged me Rs350/-. He promised I would be updated on the charges the next day and the machine would be service.
I had to literally follow up with the person visiting for 3 days to repair the machine. He then sent a cycle rickshaw fellow to pick my machine. There was no with him so I had literally load the machine on the rickshaw myself. It was 5 days past the machine was at service station. I had to again call up to find if the machine was ready. I did receive the machine on the same day. Again It was sent on a cycle rikshaw and I had to literally unload the machine myself. If I have to do the loading and unloading WHY DO YOU CHARGE ME CARRIAGE OF RS 250/-?

Now I checked the machine the same day and found that only the Top Panel was changed and it had a crack at one of the ends. The drum was tilting and still slipping down. So I immediately called up United Home Care at Noida and informed that the problem is still not solved. So he promised to send an engineer to my home for check up the next day i.e. 10th Feb ’09 at 7pm. The engineer did not turn-up at all. I tried calling United Home Care at Noida but nobody was answering the call. I have already paid Rs 2, 450/- for the above mentioned problem. Also from the bill it appears like an illiterate is writing the bills. Horrible spellings :
1. TOP PANEL is spelled as TOP PENAL ( I am being penalized) Rs 1, 850/-
2. There is some chemical charge. I want to know what these charges are as I am not sure of any chemical being put into my machine. Rs 350/-
3. CARRIAGE is spelled as Cartige. Rs 250/- . God knows if this machine was sent on Mercedes Benz for such high charge or the cycle rickshaw was of Mercedes Benz brand
4. DRAIN PIPE. I never asked for this pipe at all. Even then it was sent along with machine and I was billed Rs 120/- for it. I had to send it back.

Is this how you people manage customer care or infact mismanage? We trust company run showrooms for the purpose of quality of work. But looking at this I feel the local service provider would have done a better work at my own door step.

Godrej — Worst Product & Service

I bought Godrej Pentacool Fridge on 23.01.05. It started giving cooling problem within a month so I complained & got it replced from com. That too after complaining to consumer court.
After that almost every year it gave lot of problem like cooling issue, gas etc. As we had extended warranty contract with Godrej it doesnt cost me except mental harassment.
This time in Apr 09 & June 09 it started colling problem, When I complained in June 09, it took almost a month to replace compressor.
Now in Sep 09 again same problem started so I comlained on 16.09.09 & after 10 days comressor got changed. But after an hour it stopped working. Engineer who came for repairing told that again compressor gone. Now I am frustrated with the quality of accessories used by company which doesnt work properly and alos with the worst service of company as it again took more than 15 days to resolve issue & complaint is still not fully resoved.
Details of recent complaints:
Date: 16.09.09 Complaint no: 490514
Date: 28.09.09 Complaint no: 497631

Old complaint:
Dat: 07.06.09 Complaint no: 428735
which was resolved on 24.06.09


I wanted to buy new fridge on 28.09.09 (Dussehra) but due to poor service by the company I was unable to do that. Dealer from whom I wanted to buy fridge was ready to give exchange offer and price of my working fridge Rs.3500 however, now I couldnt get it as my fridge stopped functioning and company not able to repair it within time. Its still in non-working condition then how could I get good price of my fridge in exchange???

Split A/C 1 ton VAS G-123 — Leaking of Water from A/C

From the date of purchase, one A/C VAS G-123 (Split) from M/S Shakti Enterpreise, Daryaganj. The functioning of A/C is not working properly. So many complaints were lodged in the last year but no proper rectified till date. It was attended by the dealer- mechaanic but the complaint remains same. Please this should be looked into at the top level. May be some manufacturing defect in your production. We hope, you will realise the inconvenience of a bonafide customer who had spend Rs. 20, 000/= but nothing is getting use of your product which compels me to knock the door of Consumer court if it is not rectified within 15 days from this complaint.

Hi,

I have bought an A/C (1.5 tonne) in 2007 July Bill No 2932, this is my second A/C from Godrej, however the A/C had comppressor vibration and noise problem.The problem was so severe that were cracks in the wall due to vibration from the A/C.I had to follow this complaint for nearly 6 months, finally a manager spoke and had the compressor remounted at the workshop, which has left ugly holes in the chassis.

Now this year, the A/C had another problem and I called the mechanic and he said that the compressor needs to be replaced, since the compressor is in warranty this will be replaced, but he claims Rs 3000 for service charges.I understand if the A/C got the problem recently, but this A/C was faulty from purchase.

Please advise on a way around this as I am entitled to compensation for a lot of things.Godrej does not even update their customer service numbers in the directory.

Can anybody help me on this.

Hi,

I have purchased godrej washing machine and got delivered without wheels, we have registered a compliant on 5th April and No is. 253217. I keep on calling the customer care for 15 days. finaly today i got message from customer that, the compliant got closed. i have suprised without giving solution and spoke to anybody, they close, again i registered a complaint no.263411, i hope godrej will solve the issues.

It is very bad expereience of local service centre. i spoke to local technician, incharge, service manager.
There is no response.
I had booked a 1.5 tonne split AC with M/S Amar Enterprises (Tripri)- Patiala. The AC was delivered on 16/05/09 against full payment of Rs. 30, 800/-. The service personnel came to install the AC on 17/05/09. The outdoor unit was installed on a steel frame, for which we sheeld out additional Rs. 500/- .So far so good. Hoevwer, when the service personnel opened the box containg the indoor unit, we pointed out that the unit did not look to be a fresh one. The service personnel insisted that it it was fresh and was being opened there at our residence only. However later they said that there was no remote in the box, which actually should have been there. They brought a remote from the showroom. Later they pointed out that one cable which shouild have been there was also missing . Then they called for the cable from the show room. These two miising articles. proved our point that the unit had been opened earlier, and was repacked by them. On our tking up strongly the dealer agreed that the unit had been opened earleier and had been on display in the showroom. We wanted to have a fresh unit to be opened before us only. We requested the dealer to replace it. First he tried to convince us that there was nothing wrong with the unit and we should accept it (Although he had agreed that the unit had been on display). Since we had gone for the Godrej Brand, mainly due to the reputation of Godrej, we did not want to compromise at all and insisted that having paid th full amount, we we wanted a fresh unit. He agreed hesistatingly and said it will take about two days more to get the unit. On our taking up the matter after two days, he asked us to wait for another two days. On contacting after another two days he curtly told us to wait for atleast another week since Godrej have not been able to supply the unit despite their request and follow up with Godrej. Later wer contacted severas;l Persons including Manish Singh, area Manager, Ravi Nhat (over e-maIL and Girish Thaplyal. Mr Maniosh Singh kept on promising theat delivery will take place inimmediately, (he gave the time of two days, another two days, , another two gdays, and one even Two Hours. But the machine is yetr to reach and accoprding to the dealer it will take another 10 days from today (i.e. 1/6/09. )
In the summer season this delay for an AC, which appears indefinite as per the dealer, even after advance payment is not expected - not atleast from Godrej. Later your . their area Manger had promised over phone ([protected]) that the AC will be installed positively before 29/05/09. However on enquiring from the dealer toady (28/05/09), we have told it will take another atleast another 3-4 days. I HAD SENT THIS COMPLAINT TO [protected]@godrej A WEEK BACK BUT DID NOT GET EVEN AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. RAVI BHAT ACTED THE SAME WAY. no acknowlwdment, what to tal:k of redressal. the position today, 15 days after i paid the full amount, is that nobody knows, when the AC will be supplied.
