Update: I appreciate the owner reaching out to me to try to resolve things. He suggested I have my tenant reschedule the service, which I did, but that only resulted in frustrated texts from my tenant after they switched times on him twice and calls from the tech who was given the entry code but for some reason did not have it. I understand this happening once or twice, but missed appointments and confusing communications has been a constant pattern in my relationship with Goettl and should not be the experience of someone who's paying for a monthly membership. If you're someone who is retired or doesn't have to schedule any work meetings and thus can be completely flexible with your schedule, maybe this isn't a big deal. But as someone who works multiple jobs and rescheduled multiple meetings to accomodate a service tech's availability (and thus missed out on income I would have made from those meetings), this doesn't work for me. I am now cancelling my membership.

Good Afternoon Susan J. My name is Michael, I am a Manager here at Goettl Air Conditioning and Plumbing. I am disappointed to hear about the service provided at your home I would like to thank you for the review and the feedback to help train my team. I would like to review the circumstances of the call and the service technician that provided the service to your home. Unfortunately, I cannot locate your information from the review. Would you please private message the service address of the call so I can review the information and offer a resolution for your inconvenience?
I was talked into purchasing a monthly membership that covered HVAC inspections and unclogging sinks at my rental property. Unfortunately, I'm now having to cancel that membership and find a new service provider due to multiple missed appointments. I have repeatedly scheduled my workday around driving to the rental property and waiting for service techs. Then when I call or text over an hour into the service window, they tell me that the appointment has to be rescheduled for this or that excuse. I tried texting or calling the day before to confirm my appointment but this continued to happen. The lack of communication and respect for my time is unacceptable.
We hired Tubs and Tops to retile part of the shower after some plumbing work. They told us the grout would dry white, but it did not, and the grout wasn't sealed, so we're having to hire someone else to fix it.
I hired Austin Liberty Chimney to do a fireplace inspection. That went smoothly, and they recommended some additional work, which we scheduled for the following week. The scheduled day/time came but nobody showed up. I called and they said they'd forgotten to call over the weekend telling me the part hadn't come in yet. I'd taken time off work to schedule around that appointment, so the oversight was extremely inconvenient. I asked about rescheduling and they said they'd call me back, which they never did. I tried calling for weeks and couldn't even leave a voicemail because the mailbox was full.
Finally, I gave up and scheduled another company to do that work, but they can't get us in until after Christmas, which means we're unable to use our fireplace for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Also, now it seems that the money we paid for the inspection may be wasted because the new company will likely charge me to do their own inspection.
I really wish Victor would return my calls and get this work scheduled before Christmas, but I cannot waste any more of my own time calling with no answer. Very disappointing.
Rudy was prompt and professional! We hired him to fix our garage door and would use him again in the future.
I love the food and atmosphere here! South First is quieter than South Congress but there are some hidden gems and Elizabeth Street Cafe is among them. I especially like their happy hour!
