Beverly Hills Vacuum

This place is amazing.
If you want a vacuum that actually works, lasts, and is not a piece of shit, go here and get yourself a Meile vacuum.
Ron is the man, took the time to show us how it works, all of the ins and outs. Quick transaction and deboxed it for us.
Good business is extremely hard to find in the current world we live in, this place is a glimmer of hope to a consumer.
Happy as heck.

HORRIBLE!!! STAY AWAY!!! Do yourself a favor and read other reviews. THIS IS NO LONGER A DYSON AUTHORIZED REPAIR SHOP. The previous business «Bob’s vacuum» was, but this place is not. The people still go here because they still have the same address and phone number.
These people have no ethics and morals. They will LIE to your face to get money out of you.
Just like everyone here, I dropped off a dyson vac to be repaired. Then I was told to call the following business day to check in to see what’s covered and not covered under the warranty. So when I called, the guy says the replacement of the broken part is covered but I’d have to pay $ 140 to clean the vacuum and change the filter!!! I told him I only want the broken piece replaced at which point he tells me «Dyson will not allow us to fix the unit without getting the maintenance work». I was in disbelief, so I hung up and called Dyson to confirm. Lo and behold, Dyson states that they would never do that and offered to call this place. Then the shop CHANGED THEIR STORY and told Dyson that they would not be able to replace the broken piece without cleaning out the unit first. TOTAL SCAMMING LYING THIEVES!!! If you read other reviews, this is what they do to blatantly upsell unsuspecting Dyson customers.
FILE A COMPLAINT with Dyson. These guys should not be in business.

I don’t usually give one-​star ratings. It’s just not within my nature. I’m more of a «benefit of the doubt» kind of consumer, but this place…
I can only speak to my experience with a Dyson vacuum. And pretty much, DON’T EVER bring a Dyson here to be fixed. Just don’t.
My roommate dropped off our stand-​up Dyson for repairs. Got it back two weeks later, only to have it die not more than 5 seconds after turning it on at home.
When she took it back & followed up on it, they told her «our Dyson tech hasn’t looked at it yet. When he gets in and gives us his assessment, we’ll call you.»
Tick… Tock… A week later??? Nothin’.
So, I followed up this time. Turns out the ‘part’ they needed was, in fact, a new motor… which they now had to order… and then once it arrived, we had to wait for their Dyson tech… again…
More waiting. And NO proactive communication whatsoever. NONE!
I happened to call one day, because I happened to be nearby. Wouldn’t you know, it was ready! Would’ve been nice to have received a call, but I guess it just wasn’t important to them, despite telling them how urgently I needed it back. (Roommate with dogs + me with allergies + no vacuum for 4 weeks = Miserable Me. Pass the Kleenex & Claritin, please.)
I made sure to test it on the premises before leaving this time. God knows what other part we might need or when their Dyson tech would return!
In the end, it’s working fine so far. Seriously. Looks like they did a good job. Too bad poor customer service, non-​active communication, and even a free loaner didn’t make up for all the trouble.
Much like some of the other reviews I’ve read, Dyson actually referred this place to my roommate. After comparing the reviews for this place and their other location, though, I get a feeling they meant the other one.

Reading from these reviews, there seems to be a common theme. If you are trying to get your vacuum fixed through warranty, you will have a terrible time. If you want to pay out of pocket, you’ll have a much better experience.
Well, I’m under the Dyson warranty crowd. The biggest problem here is communication. Before I agreed on the fix, I was under the impression that the repair was covered under warranty. When I picked it up, I owed $ 130 which apparently I signed off on. I did not. Then, it became a he said, she said deal. Even though, the owner brought down the price to $ 90, I still feel like I just got out of getting ripped off from a sleazy car salesman.
Another communication problem: I brought my vacuum first week of February. I was told I would be getting calls, but like most reviewers, never received such calls. I had to make the effort and check up on the repair. In one phone conversation, I was told it could take upto 3 months for the part to come in. What product nowadays takes a trimester to be delivered. Mine took over 2 months. But in these 2 months, they will not call you to give you an update. I called them two weeks ago and finally, they said they received the part and now need to repair. So moral of this story is that there will be no updates unless you make the effort to do so.
Dyson needs to let them go as one of their third party service centers. It makes Dyson look awful as well.

Vacuum cleaner dropped of 4 weeks ago and can’t get it repaired or returned. Continually being told part is on back order
This is a Dyson Repair service and recommended to us by Dyson. Vacuum was under warranty but they sold us an overall maintenance on it for $ 125. Haven seen our vacuum cleanser since and #Dyson is doing nothing that helps us get our vacuum cleaner returned to us.

I never place review on line but I had to make an exception here. Six months ago, I bought my Dyson and love almost everything about it. My housekeeper hit it on the side of the ball and cracked that half of the ball. After calling Dyson, they told me to take it to Beverly Hills Vacuum.
When dropping it off, I was told that someone would call me the next day to tell me when the part would come in and be fixed. I was not called so about four days later I called and after being put on hold for about 6 or 7 minutes I was told that it would take two weeks to get the part. Plus, because the machine was over two years old, needed a $ 90 tune up. It has been used 8 times since I bought it. We are in 2014 and if you want to stay in business, you don’t say something like that.
I put myself through some of my schooling repairing vacuum’s in the 70s and we could do a complete rebuild, including turning the rotors and making it look brand new. in less than a week. I place an order to Amazon and get my product in two days. Who do these people think they are fooling.
Back to my venting. While on my second placement on hold for over 8 minutes, I am told that the only Dyson technician is out on a family mater and doesn’t know when he will return.
I just email Dyson with my complaint and we shall see what they are willing to to to their tarnished name.

Had a Great Experience at this place. The Gentleman Michael was able to quickly resolve my vacuum issue and did it for a fair price. I wont go anywhere else! Thanks Guys!!!

I called the store and got a friendly representative on the phone. I asked him if he had the product I needed, checked and got right back to me. I went to the store it was nice clean and I got quick and friendly service. I’ll come back to this place.

Took my dyson vacuum in for a overhaul said will call back with the estimate no such like had to call them quoted $ 123 to fix called back in a week to pick up ready to go. Housekeeper used it the next week no suction on attachments really no suction would think they would have checked that before charging me the 123,00. Took it back can fix for another $ 70 no thanks close to $ 200 bucks could have bought a new vacuum for that price picked up old vacuum not fixed and would not return any of the $ 123 money that they charged for acouple of filters. Would not recommend them and would never go back there ever again total rip off for the price they charged and still never worked properly stay away from them or make sure u test it before u leave the shop i’m really sorry I didn’t read the other reviews of this tacky joint I would have never gone there

I came here after bringing my vacuum into another store close to home. I have passed this store on my way to work for a while and decided to bring my vacuum here because the quote I received at the local store was really higher than I expected. Being that it is located in West Hollywood, I really wasnt expecting the price to be any better, but I was hoping! Anyway, the shop has a new owner and the service was really great. The guy who helped me was knowledgeable about my vacuum and actually came in 25% cheaper in his quote than the other store! I felt like the person at Beverly Hills Vacuum was better at explaining the problem and the solution and the price was definitely more reasonable than at the other place! YAY! This is a store I will feel comfortable going to in the future because I feel like I am getting quality service for my money here. I can recommend Beverly Hills Vacuum and the new owners/​personnel very highly. I am so glad I stopped in!

I went to Beverly Hills Vac and had a great experience. I found the customer service to be great. I brought my vacuum in for repair and was called a day later with the estimate. The estimate was reasonable and my machine was done a few days later and now is working like new! I am very pleased and would definitely go back and recommend Beverly Hills Vacuum!

Review update (original review below)
I added a star to my original review, because of the good-​will of the owner, Michael, who called to explain after seeing my Unilocal post.
While I appreciated the call, understand that sometimes employees have bad days, mistakes can be made, and taking over a new business can be difficult, but just because they are taking over a previously over-​neglected business doesn’t make it right to hurriedly over-​estimate and wrongly-​diagnose my vacuum.
I am not deleting what I previously wrote, because that’s what happened, and people can make their own decisions.
(Incidentally, yes, it was a pain to drive down to Santa Fe Springs to drop off my Dyson, but they fixed it in a day.)
Original review below from 5÷25÷2013
================================================================
If there’s a zero star option, I’d pick it!
It started with a mix-​up, which I was willing to overlook. BH Vacuum recently changed owners. But when I first called them, they said they were still with the previous owner, who was an authorized Dyson service center. So I took my under-​warranty Dyson to them, to fix a warranty related issue, as approved by Dyson HQ.
Like the previous reviewer, I was told I’d get a call probably the next day in regards to let me know what’s wrong, but never got a call back. I called a week later, the person said that it’s the reset button switch (my roller brush wouldn’t stay rolling), it’s under warranty, and they’re waiting for the part from Dyson, so it might take about a week and a half. During the next two weeks, I called two times, and again the same story, part has not arrived it, another week, maybe. So after almost 4 weeks, I called again, asking if I should get on Dyson’s case for not sending the part, the man who answered the phone at BH Vacuum, said that he’ll call Dyson, and call me back in about maybe ½ hour. Well, he never called back.
Finally, I called Dyson, to inquire what’s going on. Dyson representative informed me of the new ownership, and no longer an authorized service center.
Ok, misunderstanding, mix-​up, I can totally let it go.
Today, after 4 weeks, for the first time, I got a call back from BH Vacuum! The man apologized that the vacuum’s been sitting there for so long, which I appreciated it. But THEN, he proceeded to give me an estimate, that the vacuum head needs to be replaced, the filters are filthy, and they need to be replaced, that the machine is loud, because of some issue (I forget), and that it’ll cost me about $ 250 to fix it.
At this point my blood was boiling. Obviously they think I’m a stupid woman who don’t know my vacuum (does the new owner once worked for a car dealership??)
1) I went in for an issue covered by warranty, as per the original diagnostics.
2) The vacuum head was a brand new vacuum head I received from Dyson, and it wasn’t the problem.
3) My filters are a little dirty, but you wash filters, you don’t replace them! You replace them only when they show signs of age, and mine certainly don’t!
4) $ 250? I can buy a new vacuum with that cost!
5) Loud? It’s always been loud, since day one!
6) And once they changed ownership, why didn’t they call me to tell me they are no longer a service center, and I need to go pick up the vacuum? I doubt they just changed hands this past week, since when I called, I was never informed!
Bottom line is, don’t take your vacuums there! Like I said right off the top, I could completely forgive the mix-​up with ownership change (although 4 weeks is a long time to be told), but to lie to me about the fixes needed, that’s criminal. Now I just worry what they did to it during this 4 months, now that the roller brush doesn’t roll at all anymore, whereas before it intermittently did.

I took a vacuum there for repair, and was given an estimate of $ 60.00 to replace the top cover. The next day I got a call that it needed servicing and filters which would cost another $ 60.00. And was told it would be ready later that week. I called on the day it was to be ready several times
But they did not answer the telephone, so I went to the shop anyway, on my third trip there they were open. When I mentioned the problems in trying to pick up my vacuum cleaner the person immediately got an a defensive attitude and asked what I wanted. I looked inside for the attachment and one was missing, he got more irritated and grabbed something off-​the-​wall to replace it. When I mentioned the new cover had scratches all over it, he then told me they had been able to repair the original part. So I ask why is the price still $ 120 and he just started making excuses that the lid would would’ve been more if they had replaced the lid contradicting what you told me in the first place.
This is the worst example of customer service and lack of honesty I’ve encountered in several years.

I left two vacuum cleaners for fixing appraisal, the man who was behind the counter told me I would get a call, in a couple of days. Two weeks later I still hadn’t heard from them. I went to the store, the same man actually wrote the appraisal right there and had a really awful attitude. I asked for the manager, he told he was the manager.
I left with both of my VC, and will not come back.
