Refusal to Assist Customers Even in Crisis
My house and hot water are heated with a Buderus boiler, Bosch now "services." It began leaking large quantities of Diesel Fuel directly into my house when hot water is turned on. I sent URGENTE requests for service with the model numbers, and photos of all parts to the Bosch Service Chef, Carlos Barbosa, and also to his colleagues Joao Costa2 and Machedo when I received their contacts via a bounce email that Mr Costa was away until Monday. I also sent the Service Request via Bosch online form. I received no response. On Monday at 11 am I called Joao Costa, who Messaged me an 800 Service Line number to call, where the Bosche service employee woman hung up on me, refusing to listen to either my portuguse or my native English. I called Joao back. He had reviewd my email and said, "That part is no longer made. I will see what I can do but it will take time." Without anyone seeing my unit and the problem I do not know how he could know what part is needed. The "it will take time" part was not reassuring. Tuesday at 10:20 am I called Chef Barbosa, who said he did not speak English. Again I explained in portuguese he had my email, I had spoken to Joao Costa. The dear Chef Mr. Costa, head of Bosch Thermo Portugal then hung up on me. Bosch has left me with no hot water, flammable diesel fuel circling us inside our house, and zero service appointment or concern. UPDATE: After Trust Pilot Review I received an email acknowledgement requesting my address. It is now 5 days after my URGENTE help request, and I still have not been offered any repair appointment by Bosch.
