I really like Glen. He was very responsive in my initial inquiries, and found a time to come take a look. He quickly replaced our malfunctioning control panel. He is pleasant to deal with and my new go to mechanic for any problems with my hot tub.
Description of Work: Control panel on hot tub was malfunctioning from nearby lightning strike.

Glen was very responsive, worked me in on pretty short notice and did the job well. All in time for me to have friends over and entertain on the weekend. The spa went from cloudy and sandy to beautiful and clean. He identified that I needed a new filter which solved the sand problem. I definitely recommend him!
Description of Work: My spa was cloudy and had sand in it. I needed a drain and fill and the chemicals balanced as well.

He was a consummate professional!
Description of Work: The spa hadn't been used for years. Glen checked it out, fixed a leak to an injector, and replaced a contactor. So relieved to learn the motor was operational. I ordered a new hard cover. He told me what chemicals I needed to buy and what maintenance was required.

The appointment was for 9/23/15. He never confirmed a time. Just the date. I figured i'd hear from him to let me know when to meet him at the location. I called him at 9am. I said I never heard from you. He said yeah the appointment was for 9:30. I said you never called me to confirm. I said I can be there at 10am to let you in the house. His exact words were forget it good luck. I told him that I was closing on the house in a week and had no room for things to go wrong. I wouldn't say he does bad work because I never used him but not dependable AT ALL. Good luck using him people.
Description of Work: He said he ordered the part 2nd day air. He said it was delayed. I said well maybe you will get it in another day and claimed he wouldn't have it for another week. In this day in age we have computers and tracking numbers. Why couldn't he track it? So suggested he may be able to repair mine.

The spa was not working. It was excellent, he was very good. I think the quality of his work was excellent, the reason being the problem with the spa was a clogged filter which he replaced. He did not try to upsale us to a new feeder pump anything, he just identified the problem, fixed the problem and that was that. He was very good.

First spa repair company didn't show for a week, then came late in the day. Said spa full of roaches, needed to be bombed, he would return and replace the heater connectors. If we used spa company who he subbed for, it would be $700, but he'd replace it on the side for $150. Charged us $133 trip fee. Looked at Angie's list, saw the rave reviews for Spa Mechanic. Called them, they returned the call same day, set up appointment for next morning. He arrived 10 minutes early. I said spa not heating, didn't tell him what the other repair man said. He showed me that heater was fine, just gummed up from bugs. Vacuumed the inside and motor parts, spa working great. Just charged $80 trip charge. Great guy, full of advice on how I can maintain my spa better.
Description of Work: Cleaned out the spa heater connection

Everything was professional and quite smooth. He came on time, provided an overview of what was wrong with the spa, ordered parts, returned to fix it, and was quite responsive. The other spa was moved to another property and this was done with ease and without any problems. I highly recommend the company.

My hot tub stopped working, I called looking for someone to come out and look at my hot tub to determine why the electrical was no longer on. My tub is partially built into a deck in my yard. He informed me he is a large man and only works on free standing tubs. He will not go into crawl spaces. He also could not recommend others who might do this. He told me to check online and wished me luck.
Description of Work: he did nothing since my hot tub is not fully free standing.

This job was refused on phone. How can I be rated on that? I am licensed to work on free standing portable hot tubs only. Nothing attached or built in as part of house according to Pinellas co licensing board.

Like many people who own Leisure Bay hot tubs, it has been hard to find parts and service since the manufacturer went out of business. The Spa Mechanic quickly identified the reason why my jets and heater were not working and replaced the shut off valve within 48 hours of my initial call for service. I highly recommend this Angie's List provider for good prompt reliable service.

Great with everything but leaks! I used another outfit before I signed up with Angie's List that billed me hundreds and made it worse - came back three times - spa went down..... .....then I hired The Spa Mechanic and diagnosed burnt out wiring, likely caused by the first guy. He has parts on his truck - he had a motor on his truck. He doesn't fix leaks. I finally got a third guy over and he discovered the mystery leak AND a leak caused by Glen when he replaced the motor. Conclusion - good with overall maintenance & electronics - but no plumber.
Description of Work: He diagnosed electrical problem, fixed wiring, replaced pump/motor and replaced two jets

Not sure what he meant by a leak caused by me installing new pump, but sometimes other parts get affected and do not show up right away when replacing large items on an older spa. As for the mystery leak, I told him his cabinet was solid and would not want to be responsible for damaging panels to find it. If he was to remove panels, I would have fixed it. I have enough experience not to have liability issues and was in my best interest not to go there. Not sure what his cabinet might look like now, but glad he got it fixed.

First he arrived exactly when he said he would. He listened to what the sypmtoms were and then looked at the hot tub. He took about 15 - 20 minutes and found either a design defect, or a wiring issue because the GFI circuit wouldn't shut off one of the pumps when tripped, and got the spa running. Reasonable rates, and he arrived exactly on time. A really knowledgeable guy - better than the factory service guys for sure.
Description of Work: I called him because the factory service guy I was working with was unable to find the problem in my new Spa Pak. He resolved the issue very quickly. He also replaced a bad jet on the tub while he was there.

He doesn't have people skills. He wasn't a good salesman. He told you things that would save you money, even if it didn't benefit him. His communication was excellent. I would use him again in a heartbeat, if I need him.

Well, that's why Angie's list was created so I picked the best mechanic listed and was rewarded with an excellent experience. Punctual, professional, quality service - and helpful towards saving money. And finally, he found a leak that was...left by the last spa guy. Trust your instincts!
Description of Work: Our above-ground spa broke about a year ago and we were dreading the cost of replacing the 25-year old motor. (We were also skittish after the last spa guy - wasn't sure who to call.)

Hot tub/spa repair. Repairman was very knowledgeable and experienced, diagnosed problem in fair amount of time and had all supplies on site to perform repairs. I was very pleased with service. Even though the new control panel did malfunction, repairman was able to bypass the problem and install another switch and now everything works perfectly. I was not charged for second service call. I would highly recommend The Spa Mechanic and will continue to be a customer as the need arises.

The guy showed up at the right time. Knew the equipment I am using and it's quirks. Made a few trips back and forth to his truck for testing equipment. He serviced the equipment; got it running and fixed the leak without using and new parts. He showed a deep understanding of the work and my particular spa. Basically, he just charged me for a service call. The spa works like new. .
Description of Work: My spa had been off for years and the electrical was not working. The master control box was dirty and contaminated with insect droppings and the like. There was also a leak.
