worst customer service ever
Absolute worst customer service I've ever come across. Two weeks since I first put in my warranty claim on my crap samsung TV. Stayed up all day waiting for the repair agent who never turned up. As a night shift worker this is time I should be sleeping before going to work tonight. The job was logged in for Wednesday 28th. by a phone worker who barely spoke English. Wednesday is actually the 27th. I'm now stuck with this crap TV we can barely watch for another 5 days before before a repairer comes out (if anyone turns up).

Not happy Jan
Phoned and a mechanical voice directed me to choose..tv..fridge..etc
At each stage I had to press 9...press 2...
A woman in Manila in the Philippines asked me if she could help
...she wanted my first name..family name..phone number..etc
I explained that I wanted Samsung at Keswick Adelaide...
I asked to be transferred......
A young man with an accent answered. He was in Indonesia..!!,
He wanted my first name..etc
After looking up the price of the Samsung part after minutes of waiting he said I should go to the address in Keswick, Adelaide
Mission Impossible....

Told you it was the gas....
10 Days with no refrigerator. First visit from a tech was out of his qualification. The next day a tech arrives and tests a couple of things but has no spares to fix. Third visit, actually tests the gas, but has no spares. This is still going and I am expecting it to continue.

Technician very good, clean efficient
Harley the techi and his assistant Adam where awsome, clean fast efficient and very friendly,. This was the high lite. Had to wait a long time to finally get it fixed ,
First was the wrong spare part and as The right one arrived We still had to wait over a week and a number of phone calls and emails to get it done.
Thanks Boys

Condescending
Was referred to Camtec by Samsung relating to our top loader washing machine having dire issues. This has been an ongoing situation of 6 months of having a Camtec technician coming to our premises. At first, technician was great, thought issue was fixed and followed his recommendations. Unfortunately, our machine was then continuously having one issue after another, this is where the technician though present, would then look through you. Showing visual proof of issues, it appeared the technician was not taking our concerns literally. It’s sad ...
Read morehow upon reading reports on job done, how comments of not having enough time to see where issue is faulting, or what the technician refers to clothing being dirty, when visually the items were coming out from a wash cycle with markings of a paintball session only a dirty grey in colour. Dirty clothing can be rewashed as opposed to permanent markings. Technician really needs to word description correctly for their reporting back to Samsung was a major issue. Putting that aside, the office consultants weren’t any better, may be nice on first interaction but then become demeaning or lack of communication. I would have to call and then get notified of scheduled time or ‘the person handling issue is busy and will return call’. Unfortunately, they have no concept of returning calls and most importantly lack of internal communication within. Repeatedly had to correct job numbers even though it was the same job. Overall, 6 months of constant poor communication I could have done without. Respect goes both ways, but demeaning consultants from Camtec, I could have done without. Would not recommend to anyone, please take time and patience to find a service provider.GregPerth wa

Are you kidding me?!
*** UPDATE ***
So in fairness, I need to circle back and complete the story here. I raised my concerns with a manager at Camtec. She provided me with the following options:
a) Refund of $66 - ie. Camtec pockets $99 as a call-out fee
b) Proceed with the replacement power unit, with a quote for the part provided upfront and the installation of which would not incur any additional call-out charges or labour. The quote was provided shortly thereafter, with the replacement power unit priced at $276. Importantly it was stressed that the fix would...

My Samsung Fridge Freezer is in top condition again after 5 years
My Samsung fridge/freezer developed some faults after 5 years of use. The technician arrived on time, he was very professional, courteous, helpful and knowledgeable.
I am delighted with the service.
Keep up the good work

Television fixed
Our new television suddenly had a line going through the centre of the screen. It was still under warranty. We easily contacted Samsung via an online chat and within 2 hours we received a phone call from Camtec SA. After sending a photo of the problem and serial number etc, that night we received a text stating a technician would arrive the next day. He did arrive on time, checked the problem thoroughly and produced a brand new screen from his van. All fixed efficiently! Great job. We would use them again.

Absolutely shocking support on TCL tv
They refused to let me talk to a tecnician about the issues i was having. ?
Did not Answer email.
Will not return phone calls or will tell you that a person will call you back but never do.
I could never get past the receptioist who just stonewall you.
I can only suggest you try a different company if you have the choice, these are people you dont want to deal with.

Awesome Service!
After experiencing some temperature issues with my fridge freezer I called Camtec. The Call Centre were very thorough with their troubleshooting and sent A technician out. Steve arrived a couple of days later, in time and with all the necessary parts. He did a great job and the fridge is in full working order again. Thanks Steve!

Don't recommend this business
Don't recommend them. The office and manager only care to take your money but don't care to provide service at professional level. I had to get them to install my ceiling fan to my new patio since they were the only electricians recommended by my patio installer. The technician Dan was great and easy to deal with. However, Sam, who I dealt with from the beginning was quite rude, he sold me an extra digital dimmer that I didn't need and doesn't work with the fan. Also their account stores my credit card details to take money out of my account fo...
Read morer final payment before the electrician even arrive to complete the job needless to say this was without my approval. And they were extremely slow when I demand for a refund of the amount of the dimmer that has been taken out that they need to receive confirmation from the spare parts department that the technician has handed in the dimmer.speed racerPerth, WA

Expect lengthy delays for repairs if parts need to be ordered in
Camtec are currently in the process of ordering in the parts required to fix our air-conditioner from one of their suppliers - a fan motor, fan blower, PCB controller and a fuse.
I can't believe in this day and age they quote the ETA for the parts to arrive as 7-10 'Business Days'. Even if the parts were coming from overseas this sort of time-frame is not acceptable. I even offered to pay the extra money to get the parts sent via express overnight freight however I was advised this isn't possible and is due to their supplier....time to find a new supplier who can send parts a little faster.

Service fail
contacted Camtec about shifting an airconditioning outside unit. Tried to get sense on Friday, and Monday. After being put on hold and disconnected 3 times. I gave up. It is a waste of time to call them, or email them.

Camtec technicians for Samsung TV repair.
Last week our Samsung TV developed a white line across the centre. After a call to Samsung, and an email and photo to show the fault, we were contacted by Camtec to arrange for their technicians to visit. This happened quickly and today after a courtesy call to advise the visit time, Mario and Laughlin arrived.
Professional, friendly and efficient. They replaced the screen with no difficulty, re mounted the TV to the wall, tidied the mess, all within 30 minutes.
They were both lovely men and the service was excellent.
Thankyou.

Excellent Service
Our Samsung Smart TV decided to stop working last week. After a phone call to Samsung support, they contacted Camtec SA, the Samsung repair people here in Adelaide, who promptly contacted us by phone. As requested, we emailed them the details of the TV and what had happened. They phoned us again to say parts were ordered and they would organise with us a suitable time for the repairs once parts were in. This only took a couple of days and a time was booked for the repairs.
Their technician, Mario arrived in the scheduled time slot and the TV was going again in no time. All this within a week of the problem.
Thanks Samsung, Camtec SA and Mario the technician, for the excellent service.
Thoroughly recommend.

It's now nearly a week later and a tech guy turned up yesterday and within 60 seconds said "easy fix, you just need a new screen. We've probably got one in stock, job will be done in a few days." I ra...
Read moreng Camtec today only to be told there still waiting approval from Product Care and the part will take 5 business days to be delivered. So at best I will be without a TV for a month waiting for an "easy fix". Will never buy Samsung again or any product that uses Camtec for their warranty repairs.
