      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      We bought a brand new house in Leduc, and were directed to go to Trail Appliances to pick out our appliances. We decided to get a water softener and a drinkable water system. We took possession on the 16th of January. yet it took weeks for our drinking water system to be hooked up. We are not satisfied with the system that we bought. Here are a few things that are happening, the water taste stale, there are salt deposits in tank of toilet and rust in the toilet bowl, the dogs keep drinking and drinking, yet their urine is still strong and they are up most of the night going to the bathroom, there is salt crystals on dog’s bowel movement, my kidneys are bothering me to the point that my Dr has noticed a decline in them, my daughter and I are up 3 or 4 times a night going to the bathroom, there is residue on the glass shower doors, my plants have died from using our drinking water from the small tap, one of the plants was a bonsai that was over 70 years old, we had culligan come in and test our water and they found out that there is salt in our drinking water. My daughter emailed Trail appliances and asked them to come take out their system, as the last tech who was here on the 19th of April said that there was nothing that he could do and he couldn't take the system out or he would get in trouble. The response to the email was that it was passed up to management. So we went in to Trail to talk to ***** the service manager on the 2nd of May and advised him that we were bringing it back. He didn't want to take it back, he said he wanted to work with us. But we tried with 4 different techs, nothing changed. He finally said that he would give 70% back, as there was a 30% restocking fee. We advised him that we would be back on saturday. When we brought the system back, he told me that I didn't load it right in the truck, and that it was damaged and I was not getting any money back. I am now out all that money.

      Ill start by saying if I could give less than 1 star I would. We purchased an OTR microwave from the South ******** location back in October 2023. The sales *************** set up to have it installed. The company that **** sent out to install it, cracked our glass backsplash. We dealt with the installation company for months before reaching out to Trail. Trail Appliances refuses to do anything in regards to the damaged backsplash. A manager called and told us that because **** didnt put it on the sales receipt, there is no proof they arranged to have it installed, basically calling us liars. Trail refuses to take any responsibility for this and instead are blaming us and the installation company. We sure didnt find that company ourselves, Trail has proven themselves to be a bunch a sleazy scumbag **********. This is the first and last purchase we will ever make with Trail. I would never recommend them.

      Hello, ********. We're sorry to hear that your experience with the installer was not a good one. This BBB account is for ********************** **************** division; our ******* division is operated independently. We've forwarded your review to their customer service leadership and asked them to contact you directly.
