Sutton and Sons terrible experience and rude owner!
THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I have ever experienced. 3 times the same issue was 'worked on' by SUTTON and SONS and 3 different misdiagnosis. In top of that 3 panels were installed on my stove and the owner blames the manufacturer. I called this company to fix this issue and they were paid in full. THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME. Instead of blaming the customer and the manufaturer, look at your service and your troubleshooting. I also have some advice regarding your attitude, learn how to talk with people and realize that your customers keep you in business. Insulting them and challenging them on the phone due to a problem that you are not capable of fixing is because of yohr shortcomings not ours. Your company was called to fix a oven. That is all that I wanted and paid for...TWICE! Maybe that is why Sutton and Sons has a rating below 70% on satisfaction and reviews. I had this 'company' come to my home 3+times. They misdiagnosed the problem on my oven panel and I paid in full. When the problem continued they came up again and replaced the same part. Then again...same issue within days. This time they said it wasn't the panel after all. So the new charge was $300+
I asked them why am I paying twice for the same problem? The owners answer was either pay for the new part or buy a new stove!!! Once again I paid. And once again we have the same problem. The owner Steve who I spome with on the phone could only brag about how many service calls he has booked with clients and how this problem was fixed by his company. I asked him to stand behind his reputation and service and all I got was rude attitude. Will never deal with a company lime this again. Stay away from this company SUTTON AND SONS if you value your money and do not want to be frustrated by poor service and terrible diagnostic on your appliances.

Mr Micieli,
We always appreciate VALID feedback so we can constantly monitor and improve our customer service.
As we discussed on the phone yesterday and previously , your original service issue was that you had spilled liquid into the control panel of your stove. Our technician determined that the fault code was indicating a communication error between the touchpad and the electronic board.(which was correct) The tech tried to get the touchpad working without having to replace it. However, it had been damaged by the liquid and there were 2 options that wouldn't work at all.
We replaced the touchpad with a manufacturer's part which unfortunately proved to be defective so we had to return to replace the same part under manufacturer's warranty. Shortly after that, the fault code returned.
The tech had advised you that you might end up needing the electronic control as well due to the spillage. As you did not recall this advice, after a long discussion with you, we agreed to install the control at cost with no labour charge as a business courtesy to you(Jan 3rd).
You are now having another issue with your stove 8 Months later. I personally would be frustrated with a similar issue coming back after 8 months but shouldn't your frustrations be better served directed to the manufacturer?
I was never rude to you on the phone I was just not willing to offer you free parts and service on a call that was completed more than 8 months ago. The warranty is 30 days on service and 90 days on parts which is the manufacture's warranty.Regards,
Steve
