The technicians called today but not at the recommended time of 12:00 noon advised by the lady at the local office but 2hours later.
I wish at this point to provide some useful input that should be an essential part of providing any customer service, the key word is communication.
The two gentlemen who arrived "albeit not at the original agreed time" were unsure what they had to do! Why! Because they were not given clear concise instructions by their office, all they had was a copy of my original email addressed to you and as you know we communicated further by email which these young gentlemen had no knowledge of!
This visit was further exacerbated by the fact that hey could not speak English and I could not speak Thai.
The gentlemen were polite and helpful but were handicapped by the lack of information provided to them, Pattaya unlike Bangkok is very often less professional when dealing with these issues which I find hard to understand!
They took temperature readings on all four a/c units and registered them they also made a check of the compressors outside which I found odd, it seemed when removing the compressor hood they merely checked the insulation around the compressor... Is this really the way a compressor is checked.
To sum up I believe if the Technicians are not being briefed correctly this will waste both customer and Daikins time not to mention cost that may be incurred.
Please accept my comments as constructive this is not a complaint but reflects the real situation that took place today.
On a final note customer service is about providing reassurance to customers who if treated well will continue to be loyal customers in the future, poor or bad customer service can have the opposite effect and drive your once loyal customers into the arms of your competitors... Food for thought!
Thank you for your help in this matter.
